Pakistan's first indigenously developed MCV Hamza 8 x 8

[cyclops]

Specs?
How much of it is just paintjob and how much is indigenous?
Engine specs?

 

[Vayuputra]

Being pakistan a pathological lier state, I doubt it is indigenous built by them.

The company I work for supplies secure communication as well as few other tactical stuff to Pakistani Military.

It's the best equipment in the market and the next competitor lags behind by quite a margin. Only problem is US does not provide AES encryption to other countries, only UK, Canada and Australia are allowed to have AES level of encryption. Pakistan, Brazil and India can only get their hands on DES level of encryption.

That changes after we got the congressional approval to be regarded as major defence partner- equivalent to NATO status i guess.

And what about hours?
A few of our companies are also NATO supliers.

You mean to say ours ?

We don't supply tactical comm to US and to be honest our radio are almost 20 to 30 years behind when it comes to comparing functionality and the agencies that uses it.

BEL uses to make Raytheon radio that we use to supply to Iraq Army when Saddam was the boss.

Even the next best competitor is 5 years behind then what we offer right now.

NSA approved radio system means AES level of encryption but for some reason army ask for more and more and we came up one level above AES encryption.

Understand this no one in the world can break AES encryption with a brut force attack not even NSA, there is not enough computational power in this world to hack it even if you combines every single computer in this world and still Army wants more stronger encryption.

As an Indian MSME we can supply them with Antenna, waveform tech is also important but it has nothing to do with encryption or nato standard

Hey Buddy, stop posting Iranian Military stuff on other countries' section.

Who was Hamza ?


Is it related to Paki indigenous history of 5000 years ?

You should call it Dahir or Porus MCV the local Hindu son's of Soil of now called Pakistan or else Arabs will sue you for Copyright.


Just like we name our Tank Arjun and Bhishma our local Hindu Hero.

no Hamza was uncle of the Prophet Muhammad
He was a brave fighter and heavy drinker, he fell in Uhad leading the army of the Mominoon
he got the title of "Sayeed as Shuhada"

well Raja Jaipal or Bhimpal would be appropriate too considering they ruled what is now pakistan
