true but i think that attack helicopters r more needed because they can help in the air or be tank busters. 2 in 1. :D:

if we can get our hands on apaches then that would be even better. the army inducted a few russian hinds a few months back.

Hinds? Ka-50s? god almighty as if the russo-pak relations are palmy. :roll

By 2010 well have 72 AH-1s. 60 have been ordered and its possible that another squadron will be put together from remaining Cobras. And PAF the army did not induct any Mi-24s. The ones we did are Mi-17 and you cant expect us to get more than that from the russians. :(

The rooivalks are a great choice. But since there the equivalent of the Ah-64 its possible that they cost the same as it. And anyway the south africans and indians are very close so the sale might be blocked. :cry

And Yasin, i dont think you should rely on pakistani defence.com for all you info. Its basically a lot of propoganda. We dont locally produce every armoured vehicle in our arsenal. We assemble most. Theres a difference and its hard to belive we make a system as complex as a MLRS. I thought this link of some chinese MLRS might interest you as the PA is possible to induct them. :)

And lastly the army would do better to shift from a division structure to a Brigade one. That is it should convert its divisions to brigades in order to speed up the battle tempo and to ease handling. :smokingc:

HI guys, nice discussion , but my dear friend u all are restricting ur thought to conventional arms, mind u that things ar e pretty different now , as both have goone nrclear, and developing and inducting missiles technology in their forces, this demands some more and extra ordinary step and weopanry/equpiment to maint the armed forces under those hard and rough battle fields, the conventional weaponary has to be in magnamity these fast changing environtments,
so wat i think is pakistan should have develope some good missile defence system, then should equip and train her army to operate in NBc environments and then should develope some good comd and control systm down to it lowest possible units to be able to deliver effectively in those fast changing environments of the modren fields,
AM i right or , not, thx for bearing me , :)

Forget the heavy stuff such as tanks and support heli-gunships cuz they are already in focus of Pakistan Army officials. I feel that our artillery department is being severly neglected cuz we 'seriously' need MORE and ADVANCED artillery pieces. I would like to see some hardcore Howitzers coming in as well as some nice MRLS and in good quantities. :cop
