both World Wars and the numerous Anglo-Afghan Wars. Severalexperienced commanders who fought in the British military inWorld War II joined Pakistan Armed Forces giving it

professionalism, experience and leadership. After independence, themilitary was supposed to have been divided between India andPakistan with a ratio of 64% going to India and 36% for Pakistan;however, it is estimated that Pakistan inherited only about 15% ofthe equipment.

The Pakistan Armed Forces have also taken over the Pakistanigovernment several times since independence mainly on the pretextof lack of good civilian leadership, whom most Pakistanis regard ascorrupt and inefficient. However, according to the political parties

Pakistan invented POF Eye which is special-purpose weapon fittedwith a semi-automatic pistol

Pakistan began with virtually no military production capability. By1951, Pakistan had created the Pakistan Ordnance Factory at WahCantonment, near Rawalpindi, to produce small arms, ammunition,and explosives. During the period of reliance on United Statessupply, there was little attention given to domestic production, butafter the assistance cutoffs in 1965 and 1971, Pakistan relied onChina's help to expand its facilities, including the modernization ofWah. The Heavy Industries at Taxila was established in 1971 as anequipment rebuilding facility, followed in 1973 by the PakistanAeronautical Complex at Kamra, north of Islamabad. The air forceassembled Chinese F-6s and French Mirages; produced the Mushaktrainer, which was based on the Swedish SAABSafari; maintained

radar and avionics equipment; after the success ofMushakthe SuperMushak and Karakoram-8 Advance jet state-of-art training platformwere made.

The Ministry of Defence Production was created in September 1991to promote and coordinate the patchwork of military productionfacilities that have developed since independence. The ministry alsoincludes seven other specialized organizations devoted to research

and development, production, and administration.The navy is supported mainly by a facility at the Karachi Shipyard,which has limited production capacity. In 1987 development of asubmarine repair and rebuild facility at Port Qasim was begun. Byearly 2000, in a joint project with China led to the development ofthe JF-17 Thunderfighter and the Al-Khalid Tank. Pakistan also has

taken major steps to becoming self sufficient in aircraft overhaul andmodernization and tank and helicopter sales and in a transfer oftechnology with France led to the construction of the Agosta 90 BSubmarine in the late 1990s and early 2000s.

Pakistan Air Force

When the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) was established on August 15, 1947, it had only asmall amount of aircraft and only few to fly that amount. There were even fewerplaces to fly from. The PAF came into being with only thirty-two C-47 Dakotas andtypes like Tempests, Harvards, Tiger Moths and Auster V's which were delivered toNo. 5, 6 and 9 Squadron. Operating these types of aircraft in Pakistan was far fromideal. The Dakotas were having severe trouble flying at their maximum altitude of10.000 feet to avoid the tops of the world's highest mountains

Plans to procure 4 used frigates were dropped in favor of 4 new-

built corvettes. According to Turkish press the Pakistan Navy isreportedly interested in procuring the Milgem class corvettes fromTurkey. The frigate USS McInerney (FFG-8) with considerable anti-submarine warfare capability will be handed over in August 2010.

In mid-2006 the Pakistan Navy announced its requirement of threenew SSK attack submarines to replace the two Agosta-70submarines and rebuild its fleet after retiring the 4 Daphne class.French naval firm DCN offered its latest export design the MarlinSSK which is based on the Scorpene SSK, but also usestechnology from the Barracuda nuclear attack submarine. TheGerman firm HDW offered the U-214 SSK. Credible reportsconfirm that the Pakistan Navy has opted for the German U-214'swhich will be built in Pakistan and includes transfer of technology.According to Walter Frietag the contract has been finalized 95

percent.

Pakistan is also seeking to enhance its strategic strike capability bydeveloping naval variants of the Babur cruise missile. The Baburcruise missile has a range of 700 km and is capable of using bothconventional and nuclear warheads. Future developments of Baburinclude capability of being launched from submarines, surfacecombatants as well as range extension from 500 km to 1000 km.The Airborne version of Babur, 'RAAD' has already beensuccessfully tested.
