and 320 T-80UD and around 300 Type-85IIAP in PA service...

T 80, yes, I had forgotten about those. But type 85IIAP? Those cannot be counted as modern MBT's. No composite armour in those. And no info on if it has thermal sights, or what type of a fire control system it has. If we're counting these tanks, then all 2400 of India's T 72's should be counted.

 

[nongaddarliberal]

Our t-90s are not that great,I was reading some old threads and found they have some serious flaws.

Better buy 2000 Arjun's and kicks the old t-72 and t-90 out of service.

__________________________________________

They've fixed most of the issues. Earlier there were issues with the gun. Frankly, the army loves the T 90, especially it's mobility and easy logistics for rail transport. It has good firepower, and somewhat decent armour, though not as good as arjun.

Basically our army is following the French MBT doctrine of prioritizing mobility and firepower first, and protection last. Thats why they had made the AMX 30 with such weak armour in the cold war.

PAK USE OF CHINESE DRONES ALERTS INDIA
WING LOONG UAV: Acquisition and use of strike-capable drones with longer endurance may significantly alter the already charged India-Pakistan military dynamics, experts say

New Delhi: Satellite images and several reports suggesting that Pakistan may be operating a China-made strike-capable, multi-role Wing Loong I drone, capable of carrying out complex assault operations against India, have alerted officials in Delhi to the urgent need to acquire heavier armed drones as a deterrent.

Acquisition and use of strike-capable drones with longer endurance may significantly alter the already charged India-Pakistan military dynamics, experts say.

A November 24, 2017, satellite picture of the MM Alam Pakistan Air Force base, located in Pakistan’s Mianwali, shows what appears to be a China-made Wing Loong I drone.

A report on the development, prepared by the Center for the Study of the Drone at Bard College, United States, says: “This assessment is based on its wingspan — which we believe to be around 14 meters — and its V-tail, as well as a comparison with other satellite images of the Wing Loong I elsewhere in the world”.
With a maximum speed of 280 km, the Wing Loong I has a range of about 5,000 km and endurance limit of 20 hours. It can carry more than 100 kg of air-to-surface weapons, including bombs and missiles.

Controlled from a mobile ground control station, the Unmanned Aerial Vehicle receives and sends real time information and commands through a data communications link.

Already keen on acquiring strike-capable Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicles (UCAV) or armed drones, reports suggesting that Pakistan may already be using such China-made crafts has injected urgency into the Indian hunt for such flying machines.

“We have already taken notice of these reports. Be rest assured that necessary measures are being taken at the right places,” a top Indian military official told this newspaper.

India, which operates a large fleet of drones largely for reconnaissance purposes, has been on the lookout for a strike capable and bigger drone mainly from Israel and the United States. The Predator and the Reaper are the most well-known US drones after their big “kill” numbers in Iraq and the Af-Pak region, while Israel has been supplying India with Searchers and Heron drones which are used for surveillance along the borders as well as in internal security situations like in the Naxal-affected regions.
On June 18, 2016, too, a Chinese-made drone resembling the Wing Loong I crashed during an “experimental flight” near the MM Alam PAF air base.

The air base in Punjab province is named after Squadron Leader MM Alam, a PAF ace who is credited by Pakistan to have shot down several Indian fighter aircraft in the 1965 war.

Pakistan has a fleet of mid-sized drones like the Falco, Shahpar and Burraq. While the first two are largely used for reconnaissance and surveillance purposes, the third one has some strike capability.


China, presently the world’s fourth largest arms supplier and known to be proficient in developing strike-capable UAVs, is Pakistan’s primary source of weapons and military hardware. China’s UAV arsenal comprises the Wing Loong I, Wing Loong II, WJ-600A/D, Yunying Cloud Shadow, and the lethal CH-5 (Rainbow 5).

Pakistan evaluating new attack helicopter options
The Pakistan Army is looking at procuring a new attack helicopter type to enhance its current capabilities as part of a wider modernisation of its rotary-winged assault capabilities.

Speaking at the IQPC Military Helicopter conference in London, the commander of Pakistan Army Aviation, Major General Nasir D Shah, said that a number of platform options are being considered to augment its current Bell AH-1 Cobras, its already arrived and soon-to-be inducted Mil Mi-35s, and its soon to be delivered Bell AH-1Z Viper platforms.

“Army Aviation has plans to further enhance its attack helicopter fleets, and various options are currently being considered and evaluated,” Gen Shah said on 31 January. “Army Aviation needs a platform that is suitable for operations in a dusty environment, that can fly in extreme high temperatures while suitably configured [with weapons and sensors], can operate in low visibility [night and ‘brownout’ conditions], that demonstrates ease of maintenance and logistic support, and where depot-level maintenance can be transferred [to Pakistan].”

While the general made no reference to the platforms being considered, Pakistan is known to have evaluated the Chinese-built Z-10 as far back as 2014, and it was reported by Turkey that a number of its TAI T-129 attack helicopters had been sent to Pakistan for evaluation in 2016. Besides these two platforms, Pakistan might instead procure additional AH-1Zs to fulfil its requirements.

According to Gen Shah, while the current Cobras have proven to be effective over their more-than-30-years of service, they are now showing their limitations. “The [current 32] AH-1 helicopters have provided effective close support for our ground forces engaged in counterinsurgency [COIN] operations, but they cannot be employed effectively in high-altitude operations above 8,000 ft,” he noted.

Well Pakistan will procure up to 20 MI-35 attack helicopters from Russia.

 

[WolfPack86]

If one try with consistency without giving up what he can achieve many nation has proved. In case of tanks China is a bright example.
Started with license building Soviet T-54 tanks , later failed to cop up with changing timeline and producing worst quality tanks to now cutting edge armour beast.....comparing contemporary tanks with Chinese developed Type-59/69/79 is one thing andType-99 and VT-4 is different...

We like to bring a details analysis of this tank...but now for short...it has really a very descent frontal armour protection , descent enough to take on potential advisories' non ATGM other anti tank threats . It has world class electronics , sights and a good Active Protection System. It performed well in Western Desert. However it's winter so possibly Pakistan will go for a scorching summer trails with it to be sure shot about this firepower.

Theoretically it must have better fire power than what we have. But for export reason possibly China will make it perform under maximum potential power .

VT-4 definitely a better platform than Al Khalid and an equally good or may be a little better opponent against Indian T-90 Bhismas (Though ours own manufactured Bhismas have much better protection than Russian original T-90S ) , still not as good as Arjun Mk 1/1A ...forget about Mk 2

Pakistan Has Just Tested the Ultimate Nuclear Missile
Pakistan has tested a ballistic missile with a multiple independently targetable reentry vehicle (MIRV), the United States confirmed this week.

During testimony to Congress outlining worldwide threats on March 6, Robert Ashley, the director of the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), stated: “In January 2017, Pakistan conducted the first test launch of its nuclear-capable Ababeel ballistic missile, demonstrating South Asia’s first MIRV payload.” It appeared to be the first time a U.S. official publicly confirmed that Islamabad tested a MIRVed missile; however, in a report last year on missile threats around the world, the Defense Intelligence Ballistic Missile Analysis Committee noted, “In January 2017, [Pakistan] began testing the MIRVed Ababeel MRBM.”

MIRVs allow a single missile to deliver multiple warheads against different targets.

The Pakistani military first announced its test of the MIRVed missile on January 24, 2017. “Pakistan has conducted its first successful flight test of Surface to Surface Ballistic Missile Ababeel, which has a maximum range of 2,200 kilometers,” the military announced in a press release at the time. “The missile is capable of delivering multiple warheads, using Multiple Independent Re-entry Vehicle (MIRV) technology.” The statement added that the test was aimed at “validating various design and technical parameters.” No other tests of the Ababeel missiles are known to have taken place since the first one.

Despite these claims, many outside experts questioned whether Pakistan really had developed or tested a MIRV. As the Center for Strategic and International Studies’ Missile Defense Project noted, “Some experts have expressed skepticism as to whether Pakistan has indeed surmounted the various technological hurdles required for MIRVed missiles. MIRV warheads are typically much smaller than unitary warheads, and thus require greater miniaturization. It is unclear if the country has manufactured a miniaturized nuclear warhead small enough to use in a MIRV.” Ashley’s confirmation should put this skepticism to rest.

Development of the Ababeel missile is believed to have begun in the mid-to-late 2000s, and the missile’s design is similar to other Pakistani solid-fuel medium-range ballistic missiles, such as the Shaheen II and Shaheen III, according to CSIS’s Missile Defense Project. Unlike those missiles— which both have two stages— the Ababeel is a three stage missile. The BBC reported back in 2010 that Pakistani missile designers were receiving substantial assistance from China in developing MIRV technology. The Ababeel appears to have a large nose cone, which may allow it to carry multiple warheads even if they are slightly larger than normal MIRVed warheads.

Islamabad’s stated rationale for pursuing MIRV technology is to defeat India’s ballistic-missile defense systems. “Development of Ababeel Weapon System is aimed at ensuring survivability of Pakistan’s ballistic missiles in the growing regional Ballistic Missile Defence (BMD) environment,” the Pakistani military said in the statement announcing the test last January. “This will further reinforce deterrence.”

MIRVs are undoubtedly useful for defeating missile defenses, as they present numerous targets in close range that interceptors must locate and destroy. At the same time, MIRVs are extremely valuable for counterforce attacks—that is, trying to destroy an adversary’s nuclear arsenal in a surprise first strike. In that sense, they are extremely destabilizing for strategic stability; during the Cold War MIRVs greatly exacerbated the nuclear arms race between the two superpowers.

In an essay on MIRVs during the Cold War, Brendan Rittenhouse Green and Austin Long noted that the Cold War strategic arms race seemed to be stabilizing by the mid-1960s. “But the objective of strategic stability proved illusory,” they write. “The advent of multiple independently targetable re-entry vehicles (MIRVs), more powerful warhead yields, and improved missile accuracy enabled both superpowers to target hardened military facilities.” This forced them to build more weapons to ensure the survivability of their arsenals. Both sides quickly came to regret not banning MIRVs before their introduction. And, shortly after the Cold War ended, they agreed to ban all land-based MIRVs in the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START II). That treaty was signed but never went into effect.

MIRVs could be especially destabilizing for countries like China, India and Pakistan. Unlike the Cold War superpowers, Beijing, Delhi and Islamabad have maintained relatively small nuclear arsenals that are believed to number in the low hundreds, compared to the tens of thousands the Soviet Union and the United States had during the Cold War. That means their arsenals will be especially vulnerable to powerful counterforce capabilities, like MIRVs. That is why I once called the emergence of Asian MIRVs the most dangerous nuclear threat no one was talking about.

Pakistan is not the first country in Asia to test a MIRVed missile. That distinction belongs to China. It is unclear when China initially tested a MIRVed missile, but the Pentagon first acknowledged that Beijing had that capability in its 2015 report on Chinese military power. France, Britain, Russia and the United States also have MIRVed missiles. During his time in office, President Barack Obama removed all MIRVs on America’s land-based ballistic missiles, but Washington continues to have MIRVed submarine-launched ballistic missiles.

Now that Pakistan and China have them, it seems inevitable that India will join the MIRV club sooner rather than later.

This is complete and unadulterated bullshit! These buggers haven't even tested their so called tactical nuclear warheads on their Nasrs and nobody knows whether they actually work as the Pakis don't have the technical expertise to design and produce miniaturized nuclear warheads, leave alone the technicalities for making MIRVs which are too complicated for these dumbhead Porks.

Pakis designing MIRVs?? Lol! I'd take this with a bucket-full of salt.

As per today s Pakistan Day Parade they are calling it Rocket Anti Tank Mine launcher which can cover distance of 15 kms launching Anti Tank mines ..

A search in Wiki throws the below quotes

The Type 84 is a Chinese air-dispersed scatterable anti-tank mine, normally deployed by the GBL212 122 mm artillery rocket, or the Type 122-15 ATML rocket for export versions.[1] Each rocket can carry six[1] or eight[2][3] mines and has a range of around six[3] or seven[2] kilometres. The rockets are launched from a BM-21 Gradmultiple rocket launcher system that can hold up to 24 of the rockets.[3] A time fuse on the rocket is set before launch, which activates at a predetermined distance after firing. Upon activation, the rocket head bursts, ejecting the mines, which descend with small green parachutes[3] that slow their fall. The mine consists of a cylindrical body with three prong legs that form a spike, which pierces the ground and arms.[1] If the mine strikes soft ground, the spike is driven into the ground and the mine is held upright.[citation needed]
