=> Pakistan Defense budget lowest of all nuclear powers.
=> Pakistan Air force budget lowest of all air forces of similar size airspace operating with similar number of aircraft.
=> Pakistan Navy budget the lowest among all Nuclear nations too.
=> 6th largest standing army
=> Salary of Pakistan Army officers is almost three times less than that of Indian officers
=> still no suicide rate, no high PTSD, active insurgency and hot borders with duties ranging from floods, fires, elections, earthquakes to any emergency.
=> 8,000 martyred families (WOT)
=> US/NATO soldiers in Afghanistan got much better equipment, better air support, better food supplies, better armored protection and facilities yet Pakistan Army officers and soldiers won the war on our side with limited resources.
Just to give people example the mobilization of Army ground and aviation assets alone costs millions of dollars extra for Afghan border. Millions of dollars worth of fencing and posts across 2700km. As for Air force 1 F-16 1 hour flight costs 16000+ dollars in maintenance alone
For people saying GDP is lower and GDP per capita is lower. Enemies will not attack Pakistan because GDP is lower ? Threat matrix Pakistan has is unlike any, insurgency, hot borders, conflict ridden region and large nuclear enemy. GMI => https://gmi.bicc.de/index.php?page=ranking-table&year=2017&sort=index_desc
Military budget for 2019 despite 8.8% inflation, significant currency devaluation and increased fuel price for vehicle, tanks, helicopters, aircraft, Jets, Naval ships and whole logistics (food, ammo, equipment etc) movement will cost much higher still not increased.
