test | 2 years ago | Reply To be very honest i think General Bajwa must also inaugurate local defence industries be it local fighter jet manufacturing local artillery guns local rifles local pistols local sniper rifles local shotguns local ammo local armor local grenades local army vehicles local military satellites local nuclear reactors local submarines local frigates local destroyers local nuclear bombers local rocket launchers local missile defence systems and also local drones. Then i would say our armed forces is completely highly advanced as compared to US China Russia and Europe. But now i don t think so because we import weapons from other countries and even your enemy india is buying technology instead of weapons by the money which US pledge to india to counter chinese influence but for sure me and my country Pakistan see US as an enemy because an enemy of China is also an enemy of Pakistan and any friend of China is a friend of Pakistan. Since US is an ally of india so for sure US is our enemy no matter what then.
