Problem with sending Challenger 2s from the UK is they’d need the main gun changing as it’s the only 120mm in NATO with a rifled barrel to enable it to fire HESH ammunition. Unless it’s changed over to a Rheinmetall L55 smoothbore like other NATO tanks they will have additional problems with...

No matter what side you’re posting from my thanks to the various members sharing news from twitter and other sources here It’s more useful for me to come here than a UK news source as the bias and propaganda is unreal and in overdrive. At least I can get some idea of the situation here.

FNSS are offering upgrades to the M113 to A4 standard. Is this something Pakistan could consider?

Yet again there is no pride to be had in saying I’m from Pakistan if living abroad. Saw on the CPEC Facebook page today that a £100000 advertisement campaign has been started by the Pakistan government on London’s buses featuring a picture of both Nawaz Sharif and Shebaz Sharif. Just left me...

1. These were local Council elections not national elections for Parliament. 2. It was a labour government that was in power for war in Iraq and Afghanistan. 3. The general feeling in the UK is that Boris’ performance with regards to Ukraine is the only positive thing about his premiership.

Outstanding support potential for the infantry. British Army used the GMLRS in Afghanistan nicknamed it the 70km sniper. Taking a combined arms approach to operations by having forward observers from artillery attached to infantry patrols to call this in as and when needed is a game changer...

After latest defence cuts in UK they’re getting rid of some of the Puma fleet around 20 I think and the entire Hercules fleet. Could it be considered an option for Pakistan similar to the Sea Kings for the Navy?

Not sure if this has been answered but I’m 90% sure the anti material rifle picture you posted in the Pakistan Army news thread is a South African Denel NTW 20.

@Quwa Given the different vessel types that will enter service what roles will each play? Eg is F22P going to be assigned general purpose duties and Type 54 air defence?

Most countries that ordered the Sigma in either Corvette or frigate versions initially placed orders for 2 like Pakistan and have subsequently placed follow up orders. Do you think it’s likely Pakistan will do the same?

Are these essentially the Sigma class corvettes? Seems to be a successful design it’s also in service with Indonesia, Morocco, Romania and Mexico.

This is my point exactly. What munitions and weapons could we partner with this platform and who can we work with on this? For example for naval missions we could partner with Ukraine to integrate the Neptun cruise missile. We’ve worked with South Africa to integrate the Raptor series of bombs.

Having an aircraft to act as a heavy duty bomb truck is one thing and I would favour the JH7A for this reason for starters but with the increased ranges and capabilities of modern SAMs this then needs to be combined with long range precision stand off weapons. Looking at the aircraft is just...

No official source or statement to support this so will err on side of caution and wait till it actually happens. Not questioning @Khafee character or integrity until I see it I remain sceptical. I remember a few years back on the forum my excitement at the initial F16 order and then President...

Could build a gun based Air Defence capability. The OTOMATIC turret has a 76mm gun latest version is DRACO turret. Made by Italy whom Pakistan has a good history of weapon purchases. Chinese systems like LD2000 for point defence and truck mounted PG99 Guns.
