Encore un contrat de perdu pour la France

Pakistan Selects German Submarines
Pakistan to buy German subs, ignore French
KARACHI: In a departure from the past practice of acquiring submarines from France, Pakistan will buy three German Type 214 submarines.
Walter Freitag, the chief executive officer of the HDW, the largest conventional submarine maker in the world, told The News on Tuesday in an exclusive interview at the IDEAS 2008 here that his company had finalised technical specifications with the navy to build three Type 214 submarines in Pakistan.
The commercial contract has been finalised up to 95 per cent, he said, hoping the final contract in this regard will be signed soon. This is the first time that a clear picture of the billion-dollar deal that the Pakistan Navy is expected to sign in coming months has emerged. Earlier, during mid-90s, the navy had selected three French Agosta 90-B submarines, which were in addition to the two acquired earlier. The deal had generated a lot of controversy at that time.
This time French firm Armaris had offered to supply Pakistan three updated single-hulled, diesel-electric submarines all-French version of the Franco-Spanish Scorpene boat equipped with air-independent propulsion, a deal totalling about $1.2 billion.
However, Walter Freitag said he did not see that kind of controversy enveloping this project perceived during the 90s. The Pakistan Navy understands submarines and ours are the best, he said, rejecting claims of competitors that the Greek Navy had rejected Type 214.
In the Hellenic Navys case, a neutral surveyor was appointed, who decided that the submarine was technically OK and ready for commissioning, he said. The HDW CEO said the Type 214 was technologically more advanced than those of competitors. We use higher grade steel material, which allows greater diving depth, he said. Also, we have fuel cell AIPs and can integrate Harpoons with the Type 214.
The first submarine would be delivered to the Pakistan Navy in 64 months after signing of the contract while the rest would be completed successively in 12 months. Walter Freitag stated that they would be using facilities at the Karachi Shipyard for building Type 214 and minimal upgrade would be required. He added that the Type 214 was 100 per cent German and there was no chance of embargo on it in any case.
Meanwhile, authoritative sources told The News that the decision to acquire Type 214 over the French submarine was made not only because the submarine was more advanced than the French Marlin, but also because many countries had deployed the Type 214 submarines, so there would be no issue of spares.
They said Turkey would be acquiring six Type 214s, South Korea had ordered six more in addition to three ordered earlier, Portugal had bought two, besides several bought by the German Navy. As such, supportability for the Type 214 for the next 30-35 years would not be a major concern.

Pakistan boosts defence budget by 11% with emphasis on procurement
Jon Grevatt, Bangkok - IHS Jane's Defence Industry 06 June 2016
Pakistan has announced a 2016-17 defence budget of PKR860.2 billion (USD8.2 billon), providing a boost for the country's military modernisation efforts.
The expenditure - announced on 3 June - is a year-on-year increase of 11% against the revised military budget in 2015-16. "We have catered for the needs of the armed forces, keeping in view the security challenges," Finance Minister Ishaq Dar said in his budget speech.
Budgetary documents show that spending on "physical assets", which is thought to include funding for procurement, receives the biggest increase in the defence expenditure. This climbs 25% to PKR211.7 billion.
Employee-related expenses continue to be allocated with the bulk of spending.

Pakistan’s General Raheel asks US to bomb TTP hideouts inside Afghanistan
By Agencies -June 10, 2016
Army Chief General Raheel Sharif, in a meeting with senior US officials at GHQ on Friday, raised the demand of targeting Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) militants and their chief Mullah Fazlullah in their hideouts in Afghanistan.
Talking to Commander Resolute Support Mission in Afghanistan General John Nicholson and US Special Representative for Afghanistan and Pakistan Richard Olson, Gen Raheel said “Pakistan will not allow Indian and Afghan intelligence agencies to foment terrorism in the country”.
According to an ISPR communique, the regional security situation with particular reference to border management and peace and stability in Afghanistan in the post-May 21 US drone strike environment came under discussion during the meeting.
The army chief reaffirmed Pakistan’s commitment towards the war against terrorism and effective border management with Afghanistan in order to promote regional peace and stability.
Expressing his serious concern on the May 21 US drone strike in Balochistan ─ which had killed Afghan Taliban chief Mullah Mansour ─ and terming it a violation of Pakistan’s sovereignty, Gen Raheel highlighted how the drone strike negatively affected the mutual trust and respect between the two countries and the gains made during Pakistan’s own war on terror.
He told the visiting dignitaries that it is unfortunate that Pakistan is blamed for instability in Afghanistan, adding that Pakistan has always expressed its readiness to work for a long term peace process for Afghanistan under the Quadrilateral Coordination Group (QCG) framework.
Pakistan’s ISPR press release: General John Nicholson, Commander Resolute Support Mission in Afghanistan and Ambassador Richard Olson, US Special Representative for Afghanistan and Pakistan called on General Raheel Sharif, Chief of Army Staff (COAS) at GHQ today.
Regional Security Situation, with particular reference to border management and peace and stability in Afghanistan in the post-21 May US drone strike environment came under discussion. Expressing his serious concern on the US drone strike in Balochistan as a violation of Pakistan’s sovereignty, COAS highlighted as to how it had impacted the mutual trust and respect and was counter productive in consolidating the gains of Operation Zarb-e-Azb. All efforts for durable peace in the region have to be synergized with shared commitment and responsibility in order to make them successful. COAS said that while Operation Zarb-e-Azb was launched against terrorists of all hues and sanctuaries of terrorists have been dismantled without discrimination, all stakeholders need to understand Pakistan’s challenges with regard to porous border, inter-tribal linkages and decades-old presence of over 3 million refugees. Blaming Pakistan for instability in Afghanistan is unfortunate.
Raising the demand of targeting TTP and Mullah Fazlullah in their bases in Afghanistan, COAS reiterated Pakistan’s resolve not to allow hostile intelligence agencies’ efforts, especially RAW and NDS, of fomenting terrorism. COAS reaffirmed the need for continuing harmonized efforts against terrorists and effective border management as ways to regional peace and stability. He further said Pakistan is committed to work for a long term peace process for Afghanistan under the QCG framework.

Pakistan needs to Accelerate Development of newer Blocks of JF-17 Thunder
Our mounting aversion to the idea of Pakistan spending any money towards new-built F-16C/D Block-52+ is no secret, and our strong support for the JF-17 Thunder is well-established.
As a general point, the greatest value of the JF-17 (at least for Pakistan) does not rest in its performance, but in the reality that Pakistan has authority over the platform. By “authority” we refer to the fact that the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) can configure the JF-17 according to its will. This is the most essential point. While the F-16 is inherently the superior platform in terms of performance and quality, the PAF does not have the luxury to push the Viper to its available potential.
Just consider the fact that the PAF cannot readily integrate a high off-boresight (HOBS) air-to-air missile (AAM) onto its F-16s without U.S. approval of some shape or form. Even HOBS AAM that have been technically cleared for the F-16, such as the IRIS-T (developed by the German company Diehl BGT), cannot be configured onto the PAF’s F-16s without the U.S.’ approval. It would basically have to wait on America’s willingness to release the comparable AIM-9X; and this story is repetitive – the PAF’s F-16s have yet to be equipped with stand-off weapons (SOW), anti-ship missiles (AShM), and anti-radiation missiles (ARM).
On the other hand, despite the JF-17’s comparatively limited performance, the PAF has been able to arm the JF-17 with the C-802 AShM, and has the H-2/H-4 SOW and MAR-1 ARM in the pipeline (if not in the process of integration). And as we have repeatedly stated in earlier articles, it is the JF-17 that has a HOBS AAM, active electronically-scanned array (AESA) radar, infrared search and track (IRST), and air-launched cruise missile (ALCM) integration in the pipeline – not the PAF’s F-16s. What benefit does the F-16’s multi-role prowess offer the PAF when that prowess is gradually eroding in the face of the Indian Air Force (IAF) and Indian Navy (IN)’s impressive qualitative advancements?
Finally, there is the reality that unlike the F-16, the PAF benefits from an increasingly adept domestic base capable of thoroughly supporting the JF-17. Yes, Pakistan Aeronautical Complex (PAC) is a novice in terms of being an aerospace industry entity, but it is gradually and incrementally becoming capable, despite the difficult political and economic limitations Pakistan throws onto itself. The workshare agreement has shifted 58% of the JF-17’s airframe manufacturing to Kamra, and efforts are underway to bring a maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) for Klimov turbofans as well. With the maintenance and support channel being domestic, the PAF can draw upon the benefits of assured and affordable accessibility. The necessities produced in Pakistan (and in some cases imported from China and Russia) are at the affordable side of the cost-spectrum; the money that goes back into PAC also goes back into Pakistan.
To be honest, the points being explained in this article are mostly earlier ideas being conveyed from a different set of angles, but they set the basis of why it is important to consider ideas about next steps, not just for the PAF, but for PAC and the JF-17 Thunder program.
The F-16 (and import route generally) has become a difficult path to take on, hence the reason why it is imperative that domestic development now take on a much higher level of importance. The PAF ought to seriously consider the value of bringing more of the airframe manufacturing to Kamra. China has been a dependable partner, but urgency and the desire to not take relationships for granted needs to be adopted.
There is a learning curve and a lot of building blocks to set-up, but the expertise and infrastructure built for the JF-17 will prove valuable for future projects. Make no mistake, a unique and independent program is not going to happen, but Pakistan could potentially (one day) offer something of tangible value to an outside partner. We are not talking about ground-breaking research, but at least a chance at becoming a viable co-production partner (that could help pull costs down), or capable licensed manufacturer of more sophisticated sub-systems, etc. It would be a huge shame if – like the K-8 Karakoram – the JF-17 program ends up at a plateau, and then just stays flat from an indigenization and development standpoint.
The PAF should also be critically averse to the notion of capping the JF-17. In other words, the fighter must not be relegated into becoming just a ‘second-tier’ fighter (relative to other fighter options for the PAF). For all intents the purposes, the geo-political and economic reality has made the JF-17 the backbone and edge-driver of the PAF fighter fleet. By “edge-driver” we refer to the idea of it being the platform where the PAF has the flexibility to keep up with qualitative changes in South Asia, such as the eventual entry of AESA radars. While the PAF must not waste funds, the PAF ought to ensure that the JF-17 Block-III (and potentially Block-IV and Block-V) are equipped with the most appropriate – in terms of the cost-to-performance ratio – subsystems available. It would be a shame to see a less capable AESA radar (e.g. via less transmit/receive modules than possible) due to prohibitive costs (which could have been avoided by walking away from a certain F-16 deal).
Finally, it is no secret that the PAF and PAC have been seeking to secure export clients for the JF-17. There is some substantive potential, but again, it is important that the PAF/PAC are careful with next steps. At some point, it may be prudent to clearly separate work between domestic and export variants of the JF-17. In terms of export, some areas could be accelerated, such as the procurement of a helmet-mounted display and sight (HMD/S) or HOBS AAM. Subsystems such as radars and electronic warfare (EW) and electronic countermeasure (ECM) suites for export-grade JF-17s could be acquired from the market; the risk for the PAF is minimal because it would not necessarily intend to use those systems for itself. The PAF cannot let its own requirements get guided by the market, but on the other hand, it cannot muddle the needs of prospective clients with its own (which is what happened with the omission of the dual-seat JF-17 in the initial years of the JF-17’s development.

Political Group Litters Pakistani Cities With Posters Urging Military Coup
Lined along highways and spread across three major areas in Pakistan, a series of posters popped up overnight displaying an unusually blunt proposal.
Plastered across Lahore, Karachi, Rawalpindi, and the capital of Islamabad, by a political party called Move on Pakistan, the posters express outrage over General Raheel Sharif’s decision to step down at the end of the year.
"Talk of leaving has become old, for God’s sake come now," the posters read, calling for a military coup of the country.
Ali Hashmi, the chief organizer for Move on Pakistan, explained further while speaking to Agence France-Presse on Tuesday.
"Dictatorship is much better than this corrupt government," he said. "The way General Raheel Sharif has dealt with terrorism and corruption, there is no way that the next man would be as effective as him."
The posters, which also popped up in army-run cantonment areas, have since been removed by the government.
There is little reason to suspect that the Pakistani government is at risk of destabilizing. Current Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif will select the general’s successor in the months to come, and the military has denied any affiliation with a coup campaign.
"Reference Posters with #COAS pic being displayed across various cities; Army or any affiliated organization have nothing to do with it," military spokesman Lieutenant Asim Bajwa tweeted Tuesday night.
Move on Pakistan also gained attention in February, when it displayed similar posters across the country begging Sharif to remain in his current position and "help in eradicating terrorism and corruption."
In January, General Sharif indicated that he had no intention to remain in his position.
"I do not believe in extension and will retire on the due date," he said at the time, according to Pakistan Today.
"The Pakistan Army is a great institution. Efforts to root out terrorism will continue with full vigor and resolve. Pakistan’s national interest is supreme and will be safeguarded at all costs."
Deux soldats abattus à bord de leur véhicule au Pakistan 26/07/2016 à 17h08
Deux soldats pakistanais ont été tués à bord leur véhicule mardi 26 juillet, à Karachi au Pakistan, par des hommes armés à moto.
Deux soldats pakistanais ont été abattus mardi 26 juillet à Karachi par des hommes armés circulant à moto qui ont ouvert le feu sur leur voiture, ont indiqué des responsables. Selon le docteur Kaleem Shaikh, de l'école de médecine de Jinnah:
"Les deux militaires ont été touchés à la tête et au visage". L'un "est décédé après son arrivée à l'hôpital" et l'autre "est aussi mort de ses blessures peu de temps après", a-t-il déclaré. En 2013, le Pakistan a lancé une vaste campagne de répression contre les islamistes et les criminels à Karachi, la capitale économique du pays. En décembre dernier, deux militaires avaient été abttatus dans la région de Saddar, à quelques kilomètres du lieu de l'attaque de mardi.
Le chef de la police de Karachi, Mustaq Mehar, a indiqué que les enquêteurs chercheraient à établir s'il existait un lien entre les deux agressions.
Pakistan reduces military imports, claims minister
Jon Grevatt, Bangkok - IHS Jane's Defence Weekly 29 July 2016
Pakistan has significantly reduced military imports in recent years as the country's defence industry continues to develop, according to Rana Tanveer Hussain, the minister for defence production.
In a statement reported by the government-run Associated Press of Pakistan on 28 July, Hussain said that the government has reduced by 90% the number of 'no-objection certificates' (NOCs) that it has issued in support of defence imports over the past three years.
The NOC system is used over much of the Indian subcontinent and effectively works as an import (and export) approval process, although it is not confirmation that a sale has been concluded.
