Pakistan finds main battle tanks and artillery guns from China faulty. Freshly procured heavy artillery gun facing multiple technical issues during firing trials.
Pakistan which has long depended on western equipment for its armed forces is facing quality and reliability issues with newly inducted Chinese equipment, with a main battle tank failing post delivery tests and a freshly procured heavy artillery gun facing multiple technical issues during firing trials.
There have also been delays in supply of field artillery guns by China's NORINCO (North Industries Corporation) and the production of main battle tanks have been temporarily halted as investigations are on to determine the reason for the faults.
In an attempt to increase its artillery firepower, the Pakistani Army received at least eight of the heavy 203 mm towed guns from NORINCO that were tested at its ranges earlier this month. Sources said that the guns faced several issues during firing trails at Sonmiani (Pakistan), which included faults in the rammer assembly and breech block.

And then there's the issue of the
JF-17 Thunder blunder. More than 50% of the existing JF-17 fleet is grounded. Pakistan is not only afraid to showcase it in any of the major air shows worldwide be it in Dubai or Malaysia or Singapore, but has never taken this aircraft for any joint exercise with any of the major countries of the world!!
Apart from an under-powered cheap smoky engine which the Hans tried to copy from the Russians, the poor thrust to weight ratio has resulted in its structure being exposed to serious threats when going beyond permissible 'g' limits. According to available intel, more than 40% of the existing JF-17 are grounded because of cracks in their wing strake area!!
By the way, to add to the misery of the PAF, 60% of their F-16s too are grounded due to lack of spares!
And to top it all, a senior mentally challenged Paki General strongly maintains on every Pak TV debate that Pak should invade India for 'getting back occupied Kashmir' as Pak has the strongest and most well trained armed forces in the world!! And bro China is ready to help! Lol! WTF do these guys smoke?
Man, not only does Chinese maal suck real bad, the delusions of these Paki khakis are breathtaking in scope and intensity!!! Jeeez! The tango between Pakis and the Hans is what I call a comedy circus!!
