Sickness that hit me after I went to Vidcon this weekend, so yeah

Decade now the first conflict was of balochistan liberation

co-produced by one of our fTD facts fans

But it's just better working with you guys
Teamwork as well as thanks so much to Md yossel for sending in an email
He told us about this YouTube channel the Pakistan army and we'll be using some of their clips in this
Episode like it's a great channel if you want even more information about Pakistan's military or see some of the cool
Military footage that they have I will link to that down below, okay?
so let's continue now with Pakistan's airpower their total aircraft strength numbers at
951 they have 301 the fighter aircraft
394 Attack Aircraft
261 Transport Aircraft and their trainer aircraft number in at
190 in terms of Helicopter strength they total at
316 and 52 is the amount of attack helicopters that Pakistan has now
let's take a look at the land systems that help fuel the power of Pakistan's Army Combat tanks total at
2924 there are
2828 armored fighting vehicles the number of self-propelled artillery is at 465 towed artillery is at
3278 and Pakistan has in their possession
134 Rocket Projectors now real quick. I want to introduce the special service group known as the ssg
This is a primary special operations Force in Pakistan's Army
It's made up of five thousand six hundred men and all of the people intending to become part of the ssg
Must participate in a nine-month course at the chair at base the ssg course focuses a lot on physical
Conditioning and part of the training includes a 36 mile March that has to be completed in 12 hours
There's also a series of airborne training as well as airborne jumps that must be completed in order to Earn their wings
From there a two-week advanced training court is done. Where intense hand-to-hand Combat is
Mandatory on top of that there's a lot of hard physical training that has to be done and because of that only
5% of the recruits that want to join the ssg
Actually join because that's how tough the training is because the ssg goes through a wide range of grueling training
including knifing demolition
survival language skills Martial art
Espionage and
Psychoanalytic training in 2015 actually they were listed as the best special Force service in the world
I mean they beat out the us Navy seals as
Well as the British special air service group the navy strength of Pakistan isn't that great?
They only have 10 frigates 8 submarines 17 patrol craft and 3 mine warfare
Vessels in terms of their military logistics to get people and equipment from one place to another
the labor Force of that is comprised of 65 million
100,000 people their merchant marine strength stands at 11 Pakistan has two major ports and terminals
they have 7,000
791 kilometers of Railway coverage
And a total of 151 serviceable airport in terms of Pakistan's military budget in u.s.
dollars that amount was seven billion dollars
But it jumped up to eight point seven billion dollars this year now considering the fact that Pakistan does possess nuclear weapons
Their military is strong enough to defend their borders against any sort of onslaught
And they're not going to go down as easily as a lot of people think because Pakistan is often considered a failed state
But you got to keep in mind that they are the sixth largest in the world in terms of active military personnel
And they're the largest among the other muslim-majority countries as well as reportedly Pakistan is the only Muslim majority
Country that possesses nuclear weapons with allies including the u.s.
A seemingly Saudi Arabia turkey and China yeah China is an ally although that is questionable by many people
Pakistan would definitely have a lot to fall back on when it comes to wartime
However given Pakistan's location when it come to wartime things don't necessarily come that easy yep
Afghanistan on one side you have India on the other side to current rival nations
You're just sandwiched between them because of this their cities
Especially along the border with India stay heavily guarded in case of any surprise attack
Pakistan also is among the top five nations in the world with the most act of Terrorism
Despite Terrorism being at the lowest level within the past decade
so there's some instability and unrest in that department as well as
Pakistan's energy
Crisis it's a very critical issue in Pakistan that needs to be addressed as soon as possible to do this this would require
Pakistan to engage its allies like China to invest a lot in Pakistan's energy
project with various instabilities Pakistan's for future progression needs to invest heavily into creating alliances and
strengthening their current one because of the growing population
Keeping up with the demand for energy while at the same time defending its border so heavily proves to be a very challenging
