Will be useful against armour heavy Indian strike corps in case of invasion.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Nice bit of kit. Will come in handy if/when India try to roll tanks or heavy vehicles across the LOC. Troops can be kept low key with this weapon at hand and send the enemy to hell.

Both India and Pakistan are such bakras to buy arms and hardware from the same suppliers (Russia, France) and fight each other.

The rest of the world is just playing us.

Yup, irrespective the pic is amazing.

Harsh truth.
Lets hope and pray in the future things will change for the good.

Agree with the bakra comment. Hits the nail.

Since our quom hasn't done zilch in any field, be it arms or medicine or science, or even religious tourism for that matter, our main purpose of life is to provide consumer slavery market and make other countries richer.

Load of rubbish, when Pakistan has India as a neighbour, it requires weapons. India do not hesitate saying that they want to break Pakistan.

 

[Lonewarrior]

lol at those who think we buy weapons for no reasons, forgetting the violation of LOC at 26th Feb by our beloved indian neighbours. if you want peace, doesnt mean other side also want this.

and for bakra shouters, if you keep electing warmongers, result wont gonna change ....

 

[the Great Khan]

We've not bought many of these. To stop a major tank offensive we would need hundreds.

As for the qurbani bakra stuff well if we didn't have a belligerent neighbour that has invaded us in the past we wouldn't need em

This is not a verified source - post a better one or we will bin this thread.

Have they broken Pakistan?

Chest thumping over spending tax money to buy weapons from other countries is not a feat to be proud of. Since our military budgets are always the highest, why aren't we capable of producing our own after 70 odd years of independence? Is the term R&D removed from the Urdu dictionary?

i know the pp needs verified source, but sometimes defence journalists/magazines also consider as verified source.
but anyways,
page from MODP 2017/18.

 

[Lonewarrior]

in defence matters, sometimes it should be ok to rely on these sources, becoz no one can find an actual source. just my opinion. the twitter account is from some Intl defence journalist/magazine.

 

[Gabbar Singh]

Excellent piece of business by Russia - sell tanks to India and then sell Pakistan anti tank missiles lol.

We would need thousands probably.

 

[KingKhanWC]

We would need thousands probably.

I think these are mainly for surprise attacks due to the weapons being small enough to hide from the enemy. Ie. if some Indian tanks get singled out or those which approach the LOC first can be targetted, otherwise Pak has plenty of other resources to take out tanks.

 

[Saeed]

Doesn’t Pakistan produce its own ATGMs in cooperation with China?

 

[kk1992]

I think Pakistan got a better deal after Russia.

 

[blackanhyellow]

Dubious source.

Wouldn't believe it until a better source comes along.

 

[cric_man]

These have been bought for the 4 MI35 Hinds inducted for COIN ops (hence the small number).
Pakistan has over 5000 TOW-2As and over 24000 Baktar Shikan/HJ-8 & HJ-11s to deal with Indian armor.

 

[PakLFC]

The weapons industry is the biggest business in the world. Sell to rivals then sit back and watch them kill each other. So obvious that they have openly been making movies on it for ages! Selling to the third world dumps is best coz the people are poor and stupid so lets make greater fools outta them. Not only kill them but make money outta them as well.
