Malaysia looks to Pakistan as source of armaments

——————————————————————————–

Kuala Lumpur, Feb 24 : Malaysia today said it will look towards Pakistan as an alternative source of armaments, defence products and services.

This was stated by Malaysian Deputy Defence Minister Zainal Abidin who felt that “over-dependence on traditional sources had disrupted operations”.

“With more countries having the capability to manufacture and supply defence products, we no longer need to be dependent on the primary producers”, the minister was quoted as saying in the ‘New Straits Times’ newspaper.

He said the move was also aimed at diversifying the country’s sources for parts and services from the open market.

Components could be purchased from “non-original equipment manufacturers” who also provided credible after-sales service, maintenance and profitable partnerships, Abidin said.

Malaysia had till date secured a defence package worth at least 100 million Ringett from Pakistan including 9.7 million ringett worth of anti-tank rocket propelled grenades, 30.9 million ringett of Baktar Shikan anti-tank weapon systems and 48.7 million ringett of surface-to-air anti-aircraft rocket launchers, the newspaper said.

The minister said Malaysia was also keen to take up Pakistan’s offer to train its submarine personnel

Also, don’t post any Pakistani news from John Kucera guy, nor from NY Times, nor from Asia Times, nor from SATribune, etc. Posting from these sources would be considered flaming and will be reported.

SA is devoted to anti pakistan propaganda, common knowladge. i could also post indian “news” from pdf, but there is a limit in bs you should post.

Pak pilots to get advanced training in US

Mahmood Hussain

Islamabad—The United States is all set to launch the advanced phase of training Pakistan Army pilots for using the Night Vision Goggles (NVGs) to enable them carry out night missions specially in the tribal areas adjoining Afghanistan.

Two groups of the pilots from the Army Aviation totalling about thirty have already returned home after being trained from the US base of El-Paso in Texas. The Officers will be imparted advanced training at the home bases by the trainers soon to visit Pakistan.

Pilots trained, will be better equipped to launch operations against the remnants of Al-Qaeda and other terrorists still hiding in the difficult mountainous terrain in the tribal belt bordering Afghanistan.

The FCS computers are locally made at Bharat Electronics Ltd, Bangalore and were designed by ADA, ADE and BEL. The initial testing was done at Lock Mart till Indian facilities got ready- which company seized the Indian FCS computers once Pokhran happened and they were replaced by new ones once the team was back.
The FBW code is being written by a combined team of ADA, ADE (Aeronautics Development Establishment) and NAL (National Aerospace Laboratory).

So the hardware is designed/developed by the US and made in india ?

hmm no hud in the “first one”, in the new one you can see it. Doen anyone know if its going to be at the upcoming Air show in france.

Pakistan to get US arms later this year

By Anwar Iqbal

WASHINGTON, Feb 13: Pakistan will start receiving weapons from the United States under a $1.2 billion arms package by the end of this year, official sources told Dawn. The production of these weapons has already started, they added.

The package, announced in mid November, includes eight P-3C Orion surveillance aircraft, six Phalanx close-in weapon systems and an ammunition complement of 2,000 TOW-2A missiles and 14 TOW-2A Fly-to-Buy missiles.

The P-3 Orions are valued at $970 million, the Phalanx systems at $155 million and the missiles at $82 million. This is the first major sale of US military hardware to Pakistan since Washington lifted sanctions and named Islamabad a major non-NATO ally last year.

Pakistan, however, has not yet succeeded in getting the nod for the big ticket item – the F-16 fighter planes – it has been seeking for long. But there have been recent developments that may boost Pakistan’s efforts to get the aircraft.

The most interesting development in this regard is India’s proclaimed interest in buying the F-16s. The other favourable development for Pakistan is a report from Lockheed Martin, which manufactures F-16s, that it may be forced to close its plant in President Bush’s home state of Texas if the US administration does not agree to sell F-16s to Islamabad. The manufacturers, according to congressional sources, have already passed this information to some members of the US House of Representatives.
