Another feather in the hats of Imran Khan and his trusted fm Shah Mehmood . As they love to say, " Boys played well"

So what has Imrand Khan achieved ?
1. No further MLU or spares , engineering support for the Mirage 3 and Mirage 5 fleet . Mirage 5 forms the bed rock of their night time precision strike and deep strike insides enemy territory capabilities . They can proceed ahead with their own MLU though. Dassault won't be there to iron out the faults .
2. No further support for the decades old Atar 9 series of engines . This is where Pakistan will really feel the heat.
3. No digitization or further upgrades of their Crotale Sam system. Meaning no spiral upgrades to the radars, the user interface like the displays, no digitization of missile electronics , no improvements in PSP ,etc .
4. No further upgrades or OEM support for their Agosta 90B fleet . Same applies for theirolder Agosta. But they will be decommissioned soon .
Shishir Gupta is wrong in some places. The Agosta 90B already has AIP. What he meant perhaps was that Naval Group won't be replacing the components of AIP which have exhausted their technical life like the fuel cell or swap out some of its components which needs replacement . All in all great.
As Rahul Gandhi likes to say, . Tata . Finished . Bye bye .
