Pakistan Army buying Embraer Lineage 1000 Business Jet?

[Par 5]

As per news from Economic Coordination Committee (ECC) today; Rs. 1.094 Billion have been reserved for Pakistan Army to purchase a Lineage 1000 Business Jet (similar to one bought by the PN and currently being used by PM VVIP pool). But the amount resvered barely translates to US$3.9M and a pre-owned Lineage 1000 or 1000E today costs around US$25-US$28 Million. So why the Army has all of sudden chosen this Brazilian platform & the nature of the funds solicited from ECC remains for the moment a mystery. Army already has good smaller business jets that can be used by the top brass to travel comfortably worldwide.

Unless the purchase is for some Army based EW platform ? ie not VIP but actual military use ?

What? You don't think Field Marshal, Chief of Defence Forces, Chief of the Army Staff, Nishan-e-Imtiaz, Hilal-e-Jurat, Hilal-e-Imtiaz, Hafiz-e-Quran, Salahuddin Ayyubi of the Modern Era Syed Asim Munir Ahmed Shah doesn't deserve this?

Very Unlikely keeping in view Army doctrine and the petty amount resvered by ECC

At this price of US$3.9M; seems unlikely

Keeping in view the ECC funds solicited; it 'may' be for chartering of the Lineage 1000 Business Jet from some international vendor based on monthly hours usage.

Can we get an Embraer Lineage 1000E for the forum? We can party/pawri on it.

One aspect of this 'mystery' solicitation is that if not handled correctly, it may prove to be a PR disaster for Pakistan Army keeping in view that our valiant soldiers on the front lines with BLA and TTP still lack IED proof vehicles.
