Pakistani defense industry

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Pakistani armaments industry , i.e. the production of the Pakistani Ministry of Defense , was created in September 1991 to coordinate the patchwork of military production facilities in the country, which had developed since independence , and to promote further development. The ministry includes seven other specialized organizations that deal with research and development, production and administration.

The navy is mainly supplied by a facility at the Karachi shipyard , which has limited production capacity. In 1987 the development of a repair and new building site for submarines at Port Muhammad Bin Qasim began. At the beginning of 2000 a joint project with China led to the development of the JF-17 Thunder and the Al-Khalid tank. Pakistan took steps to become independent in future in aircraft modernization and in tank and helicopter purchases. Technology exchanges with France resulted in the construction of the Agosta 90B submarine in the late 1990s and early 2000s . Meanwhile, Pakistan takes an active part in Joint Production Projects (German about joint production programs ) part, these include the Al-Khalid tank 2 , the Advanced Trainer Aircraft (German advanced trainer aircraft ), combat aircraft, warships and submarines.
