Paid mercenaries of Al Saud. That's all this "pact" is.

If you feel comfortable in being unpaid tattoo of Iranians then what's wrong in being a paid mercenary of Saudis..... Saudis are old friends of Pakistan , who the hell are houthise and why should we give a fuk about them ?

, we do have some professionals and fighting spirit?

As I always say - it is that thin veneer of these people at every level , every institution in Pakistan which Allah has granted Pakistan to hold it together.

And it will be Allah's will if these people are no longer enough because of who Pakistanis are.

What are we discussing here for past 2 weeks ?

1. This deal is bad for Pakistan.
2. Pakistan was played for peanuts.
3. Pakistan should ask KSA to fund J-35 purchase.
4. we should call back out troops from KSA and dont be a part of this mess.
5. Now Israel is in our range.

Nothing new, nothing substantial, nothing well-known. Just speculations and imaginary scenarios. This thread should be banned till there is something new and meaningful in this regard.

That is not fault of the forum members. No-one has seen the text of this MoU, hence we can only speculate.

That's my point. Till the day there is an official draft available to us, any claim doesn't matter how absurd it is, can be considered true. So we should just take a break.

Perhaps what might be productive is to identify what the possible forms Pakistan and Saudi Arabia could look like and what reforms expected to achieve such an outcome. Furthermore, if such reforms are carried out, what could be achieved for both nations, realistically. Identifying that limit could also highlight the limit of what Pakistan can hope to do with external assistance, and what it would need to do itself to maximize its own potential on its own, if it so chooses to govern that way.

So UAE paid Iran to not bomb it. If you were wondering why UAE was left alone in recently.

Same UAE that was barking at Pakistan for mediating ceasefire.

i have a feeling all this will be quite short-lived.

But i understand the mideast thinks they can throw money at the problem and make it go away. Not surprising, but it won't be the saviour they think they locked in.

unfortunately the arabs and the gulfies (the rulers) still do not realize what the plan is for them by these imperialist/zion globalists.

This defence Pact and Pakistani military deployment in Saudi Arabia is being exaggerated by Pakistani analysts and westerners.
Pakistan had already deployed 5/6 times more troops for 10 years in Saudi 1979 to 1989 under the same security agreement.
What is unusual now?

The foreign ministers of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the Arab Republic of Egypt, the Republic of Turkey, and the Islamic Republic of Pakistan met today in Cairo for their fourth quadrilateral meeting.

But what is more important than the meeting itself is reading between the lines:

When the war against Iran broke out, countries in the region warned of its repercussions. As tensions continued to escalate, these countries found themselves facing challenges to their national security and strategic interests, prompting their capitals to reassess security dynamics and rely more on self-reliance.

This has given rise to a new convergence between Riyadh, Ankara, Cairo, and Islamabad—four capitals with significant political, geographic, economic, and military clout—which have begun to coordinate their visions on regional issues.

Today’s scene is not merely about a ministerial meeting; rather, it reflects a reality that has imposed itself—the formation of a more independent regional axis and the development of cooperation mechanisms capable of addressing the major transformations taking place in the region and the world.

Let's see how it goes

nothing unusual, just so many desperate "speculators" trying to sell some news.

The task of our military presence in Saudi Arabia, we all know, is to protect its sovereignty from the bastard zionists evil plans.
And the relationship between Pakistan/Pakistanis and the 2 Holy Cities/mosques simply cannot ever be quantified or measured by anyone.
Plus there is a lot of undeclared/hidden work both countries continue to work on, which does not need to be shown to everyone. This can sometimes piss people off when they can't get any hint of what's really ongoing behind the scenes

Didn’t Pakistan got slapped with restrictions that it could not develop long- range missiles. Pakistan to Israel distance is about 3000kms . In recent 2 Air clashes with Delhi Tel Aviv was involved in each one of them. I’m not saying it’s why we’ve done it. By moving certain assets to Saudi Arabia jf10c or f16 block52? And other military equipment etc just kinda brings this Zio State with in our range. Many nationalities Pakistanis don’t understand Arabia is our lifeline. Any instability to Arabia will affect our national interests.

True, the issue now is, considering the demonstrated capabilities and professionalism of the Pakistan military in military and diplomatic affairs, now is the time to figure out what kind of force it wants to host. What kind of force it wants to build up and equip, as well as what other means of power should be built. It’s no longer just military, but also infrastructure/economic/industrial.

For example the Saudis could help Pakistan procure a mix of AH-1Z (with APKWS II) and Z-10ME, as well as transport helicopters (to fast resupply these attack helicopters in the field) to put up a defense, in Saudi Arabia, against Kamikaze drones or loitering munitions targeting vital infrastructure and/or personnel.

They could funding the build of their own missile cities as well as missile cities in Pakistan’s Baluchistan, and equip them with Pakistan’s Fatah series of missiles, to cover Iran from the West, South and East.

All of this is easily possible for the Saudis if they are willing to put in the funding.

Having a Pakistan Military contingent there, not adequately modernized to fight the kind of war we just saw, would be a disservice to them and us as well. Large numbers of tanks and tube artillery, as well as even 4.5th gen jets may no longer be adequate for the mission. The force the Pakistani troops had to potentially content with in the 90s till the mid 2010s was one of masses of ground troops from threats like Iraq. Even the Yemenis have demonstrated missiles that can strike Saudi oil and gas infrastructure, with cruise missiles.

Pakistani troops equipped with AH-1Z and APKWS II, could fire volleys of rockets, up to 72 against mass swarms of enemy cruise missiles. Z-10ME could accompany the AH-1Z to fly ahead and help better detect pop-up or camouflaged threats, while employing longer range weapons.

What is unusual now is the threat has evolved beyond what previous generation of weapons and doctrines could handle.
