Pakistan shows interest in Russian BTR-82A armoured personnel carrier during Druzhba 2021
As per reports, during the joint Druzhba 2021 drills, special interest in the Russian BTR-82A armoured personnel carrier was shown by the Pakistani special forces.


In a statement, the Southern Military District said that the Pakistani officials liked the accuracy and easy control of the modern armoured personnel carrier as the Pakistani special forces unit opened fire from it.

Druzhba VI


Including aspects of counter-terrorism and special operations, the Druzhba military exercise is jointly conducted by Russia and Pakistan and has been held since 2016. It was reported that the special forces of Pakistan and the Russian Federation had joined hands for a two-week military exercise which is known to be the Druzhba VI. The drills were conducted from 28th September to 9th October this year on the Molkino range in Russia’s Krasnodar Territory.

Reportedly, including counterterrorism operations along with the elimination of illegally armed units, the troops that participated in the drills practised a wide range of tasks. Around 100 Russian and 100 Pakistani service members took part in the exercises, as per a report.

BTR-82A Armoured personnel carrier


Manufactured and developed by the Military Industrial Company of Russia, the BTR-82A is an advanced 8×8 wheeled armoured personnel carrier (APC) that is formally adopted by the Ministry of Defense of Russia.

Back in December 2009, APC’s prototypes were unveiled while during the 15th Interpolitex State Security Material Show, the features of the vehicle were demonstrated at the All-Russia Exhibition Centre in Moscow in 2011 along with being displayed at the Russian Expo Arms 2011 show in Nizhny Tagil.

The armoured personnel carrier is equipped with a high-power propulsion plant for enhanced performance and armament stabilizer and combined (day-night) sight has also been installed in the vehicle.


The AU-220M Baikal remote turret was integrated into the BTR-82A fitted with an autocannon firing the 57x348SR mm shells at 120 rpm by Russia. The Interior of the BTR-82A is lined with spall liners which slightly improves the vehicle over its predecessors that offered all-around protection against 7.62 mm rounds.

Although for improved protection against landmines and improvised explosive devices, the APC has been equipped with a double hull floor, it still does not offer the same blast protection as modern Western armoured personnel carriers due to its design. The vehicle is armed with a 30 mm cannon and coaxial 7.62 mm machine gun and also has a GLONASS navigation system along with a more powerful engine of 300 hp.

Earlier deals


As per official reports, in December 2012, around 30 new BTR-82A combat vehicles were accepted by the Ministry of Defence of the Republic of Kazakhstan and with the military unit 25744, the vehicles were deployed.

In September 2013, the Production of the BTR-82A APCs for the Russian Army commenced while in the same year, its first batch was delivered to Azerbaijan. On the other hand, a contract was signed by Russia with the Military-Industrial Company for 20 BTR-82A armoured personnel carriers in 2016.

Pakistan in talks with Russia for procurement of T-90 tanks that India also uses
Defence Minister Khurram Dastgir Khan confirmed that Islamabad was interested in buying weapons from Moscow in an interview to the Russian news agency Sputnik, The Express Tribune reported.

Pakistan is in direct talks with the Russia for the procurement of sophisticated military hardware, including air defence systems, fighter jets and battle tanks, a media report said on Saturday.

Defence Minister Khurram Dastgir Khan confirmed that Islamabad was interested in buying weapons from Moscow in an interview to the Russian news agency Sputnik, The Express Tribune reported.

“Air defence system is a different kind of weapon we are interested. We are very much interested in a very wide range of the Russian weapons technology. We are in negotiations [on air defence systems] and once we conclude negotiations, we will be able to announce them,” Khan said.

The defence minister also outlined that Islamabad was interested in acquiring T-90 tanks from Moscow as part of a long-term deal rather than committing itself to a single purchase. Interestingly, India also uses the T-90 tanks. As part of efforts to enhance its strike capability, the Army is now working on a project to add more teeth to its T-90 main battle tanks by arming them with a third generation missile system. “We are interested in tanks T-90 and it is not going to be a one-time purchase but it is going to be a long-term commitment,” Khan was quoted as saying by the agency.

He added that negotiations for the purchase of Russian Su-35 fighter jets are in their early stages, and an agreement in this regard may be reached “in the next few years”, according to the Russian website. The defence minister noted that both Pakistan and Russia were interested in a stable and democratic Afghanistan.

Ok That's it. I am not buying your reports anymore. They lack credibility and therefore so do you.

Pakistan Army acquires Dongfeng Mengshi armored vehicles from China

 

[WolfPack86]

Regarding the possibility of Pakistan inducting another APC type. In 2015, Pakistan was looking to finalize the purchase of the NORINCO VN-1 8×8 wheeled APC with local licensed production from China. It is likely that Jane’s is referring to this program, though at this stage other companies, such as Paramount Group with its Mbombe 8, may be looking to make an entry.

Pakistan to spend $12 billion on arms in 2016-2024

According to analysts, Pakistan will likely spend $12 billion U.S. on armaments from 2016 to 2024. An uncertain economic outlook could have an impact.

At least they have a modern gen mbt. Our armored corps still stuck with USSR tech and they call mating t72 hull with t90 turret a new upgraded tank.
IMO pretty good deal for the PA, problems can always be fixed sooner or later. I dont think we will be seeing anything like the haider/vt4 in our arsenal anytime soon. Would prefer to be proven wrong though.

Have you seriously gone thru the article? Not justifying our state of affairs but if you think Haider in its current or future shape is going to give the IA sleepless nights I've a bridge to sell you .

OTOH, it's probably the reason IA is found wanting in its preparations against the PLA coz they've set the bar so low always comparing their capabilities to fauji foundation & feeling good about it.
