first of all 123PMA L/C is long gone...i myself have applied for 125PMA L/C
and graduate courses have been abolihed permanently as far as i know...in graduate courses you just had to go 1 year training in PMA and after that you used to be directly pormoted as captain in Army...but thats history now!!
as you your self has mentioned that now GRADUATES can ONLY apply for LONG COURSE if they are UNDER 23 years old...so if u r under 23 you can apply for 126 PMA L/C which will be due in JUNE as registration for 125PMA L/C has stopped!!
but i will ask you to go to ASRC and take all the information first hand so that no doubts remain!!!

Handling of Armour in Indo-Pak War

Pakistan Armoured Corps as a Case Study

http://www.defencejournal.com/2000/oct/handling.htm

Saudi Arabia

In 1982, Pakistan stationed an armoured brigade at Tabuk, Saudi Arabia for the defense of the holy land, after an agreement between the Government of Pakistan and Saudi Arabia. That brigade also included the Mechanised Infantry Battalions of Frontier Force. The agreement was broken when Saudis asked for only Sunnis to be included in the troops sent to their land, which was refused by the then President of Pakistan General Zia-ul-Haq, who said that there is no discrimination in Pakistan Army. The brigade remained there for about six years from 1982–1988.

Is that right ?

All those small questions regarding Pak Army goes here.

You are welcome to put any question. For starters in defence, it will be wise to read this thread to get some confusions out of your way and save yourself from other people shouting that it goes in question thread or already answered in question thread.

A guideline
---------------
1- make sure your question is small and precise.
2- dont ask questions for which people may have different opinion e.g. "which tank is better?", though a question like the difference in two tank models is fine.

3-give your text a red color.

4- finally be courteous and a thank you note will be appreciated by the person who is answering your question.

---------------
Mods could you please Pin the topic.
    My question is about the Air Defence. With the speed, lethality and malfunctions of attack aircraft, air Defence is not only the most important weapon but also a very complicated one to operate safely and efficiently. With the current scenario, is it advisable to have an independent Army air defence without complete and foolproof coordination with the other services specially the Air Force?

Army Aviation

Why the Pakistan Army had not use the 40 Bell 407 helicopters  during the Floods ? I mean The Helis which we have see  in the Media were most Bell-412 helicopters and Mi-17.

412 has greater range and lifting capacity.  The 407 is pretty small compared to the 412 and can't carry as much.

Yes what I have read now is that Pakistan had never buy 40 Bell 407 only two for tests !

I don,t think Pakistan Army is interested in buying western weaponry anymore

[Dizasta]

Guys, gotta quick question for ya ....... I am trying to ascertain whether the base on these coordinates (34°57'25.97" N  76°57'20.20" E) is hindustani or whether it is in fact a Pakistan Army Base. Google Earth it if you want, I think it is a Pakistan Army Base, but if you look closely, there is another base set up, south of the border.

[sobank]

According to google earth, it is inside Pakistani kashmir.
