Corrections and more information very welcome.
Formatting here is not an easy task, don't know how I'll edit the post either.
I have same data here on my site http://jjamwal.in/yayavar/pakistani-arm ... tle-orbat/ which is a bit easier to read and edit.

I am gathering data about Air Force and Navy too and will start similar thread about Chinese ORBAT soon.
Will it be possible to include this information on main website too?

I have sent you a google docs link in PM. Please check
I've already started marking positions of units on Google Maps, but waiting to be reasonably sure before doing all that. If you can do that in a better way, please go ahaead. I don't know how spreadsheet and kml work.
The doc has a bit more information than what I posted. If you think it's accurate, then please update the first post.

The 14 squadron Tail Choppers is for air superiority. There is a 2017 Dawn article (not posting link) that confirms it. The inauguration ceremony was held at Kamra.

I'm not 100% sure about that because every F-16 and JF-17 squadron seemed to be muli-role with only this tail chopper being mentioned as air superiority. But I haven't found anything which confirms how are the planes configured differently from others. A plane from this unit crashed not too long back with it's own tail chopped off.

Anyhow, please check your email and google docs folder. You should have access. If not, I'll email it to you directly.

That is a good point. The F7s they replaced were 'multi-role' to some extent and there are forums that call the JF-17 multi role as well.

Jamwal ji, A great job !
A couple of points from my earlier research (things may have changed in the last 2 years, though unlikely)

1. 11th Armored brigade is an independent brigade and not part of 6th Armored division.
2. Its unlikely that XXX corps has an independent anti tank brigade. My understanding is that they have a brigade sized anti tank formation, but
the 3 battalions are split among XXX corps's Two infantry divisions and the independent armored brigade.
3. XI corps armored brigade is deployed closer to India than Afghanistan. Its role is probably as a theatre reserve for X, I or XXX corps.
4. The independent infantry brigades of I and II strike corps, are more similar to a mechanized brigade.

Different sources give the number of brigades under the FCNA as either 4 or 5 (at the time or the Kargil war it had 3 brigades). It possible that
NLI formations which were integrated into the regular army after Kargil make up the additional brigade/s. FCNA has no artillery brigade of its own- unlike the other PA corps facing India and unlike XV and XIV corps of IA, (with their corps artillery brigade) which face the FCNA.

Regarding point 4, only reference I've found is in some Paki forums where some fanbois claim this and I don't trust them too much. I suppose this could be partially verified by matching numbers of APCs or IFVs they've inducted, but this is beyond my expertise. They are manufacturing copy of American APCs and had received quite a few of them for free after US withdrawal from Afghanistan. So maybe there is an element of truth in this, but I am not sure. Will they have similar firepower to a regular mechanised brigade too?

I think we have seen the same reference in a Pak forum. Apart from that, wiki shows the symbol of those brigades to be that of a mech brigade
(X in a circle). As you suggest, its possible its an infantry brigade with a mechanised element (using the old US M series APC's).
Probably in-between the firepower of an infantry and a mechanised brigade.
Pak had also reduced the no of its tanks in each regiment by 1 or 2, in order to increase the number of regiments.

Pakistani Army Aviation Corps. Not much to talk about. Most of aircraft are old & nearing retirement.
One interesting thing is number of units raised in 80s, probably financed by American dollars.

Near final draft: http://jjamwal.in/yayavar/pakistani-arm ... tle-orbat/
PDF: http://jjamwal.in/yayavar/wp-content/up ... -ORBAT.pdf

This is more or less most of Pakistani ORBAT. Some points like Brigade allocation are still incomplete. If I find any good book or online sources, I'll update it. Taking a break for now.

Considering the number of aircraft (civil & military both) they have, Pakis sure have a disproportionally large number of airstrips. Largesse of 4fathers put to good use. That being said, roughly 45 squadrons of all 3 branches are spread in just 11-12 bases. Majority of remaining bases barely anything more than bare airstrips, though a fair number do have good infrastructure.

Majority of remaining bases are barely anything more than bare airstrips, though a fair number do have good infrastructure. Indian military has talked about a list of 400(?) targets in Pakistan which may get pounded. Doable task with LCA & Prahar types inducted in large numbers.

Few "strategic" targets like these will need a bit more love. Massive pre-emptive strikes hardly ever work, but its still an interesting idea to play with. Brahmos for precision, , rocket artillery, CMs & SRBM for the rest with Jaguar, Su-30, Tejas as mudmovers.

Some information about F7...
-
F7 variants originally bought by Pakistan:-
F7 MP:- 20 jets
F7 P:- 143 jets, FT7 P:- 17 jets ('T' refers to twin seat trainers)
F7 PG:- 51 jets, FT7 PG:- 6 jets ('T' refers to twin seat trainers)

In the above, the numbers of F7 MP and F7PG are consistent over different sources...
The numbers of F7 P are varying from soirce to source... I provided the maximum number...
-
Current status:-
The AirFrame life of F7 is only 2500 Hours (For comparision, the airframe life of Mirages in PAF is 8000 Hours)... So, these jets are being retired after around 25-30 years of service...

F7 MP was inducted in late 1980s and already retired...
F7 P was inducted starting in late 1980s and retired from Combat squadrons... Only 1 CCS squadron and 1 LIFT squadron currently in operation... They will also be retired in the next couple of years if not retired already... All FT 7Ps retired...
F7 PG was inducted starting from 2001... Out of the 57 bought, 10 to 13 of them lost in various accidents... Exact no. not available... Remaining jets are divided into 3 combat squadrons... These jets will be retired within the end of this decade...

So, the number 135 we see in Wikipedia and elsewhere is old number... Actual F7 jets currently in operation will be around 50-70 jets only... Within a year or two, it will be less than 50...
----
F7 squadrons--->

2 Combat squadrons:-
No. 17 Tigers - F7 PG - PAF Base Peshawar
No. 23 Talons - F7 PG - PAF Base M. M. Alam

2 Training squadrons:-
No. 20 Cheetahs - F7 PG & FT7 PG - PAF Base M. M. Alam - Operational Conversion
Shooter squadron - F7 P - PAF Base M. M. Alam - Multiple sources mentioned this as LIFT squadron, not sure about the exact role (Will be retired soon)

1 Combat Commanders School Squadron:-
Dashings - F7 P - PAF Base Mushaf - Advanced Tactics Training Squadron (Will be retired soon)

Overall, the Fighter jet strength of PAF is only 16 Combat squadrons, 4 Training squadrons and 4 smaller CCS squadrons...
-
In the 16 combat squadrons, 4 are F16 and 5 are JF17 squadrons... These are relatively new and modernized jets...
In the remaining 7, 2 are F7 PG and 5 are Mirage 3 & 5 squadrons... These 7 squadrons will retire in this decade...
The only new orders from PAF are 50 JF17 Block3 enough for 2 squadrons...

Jamwal ji,
I don't think 6th Armoured division ( I Corps) has 3 armoured brigades.
All sources - except 1 entry in Wiki, mention only 7th and 9th armoured brigades attached to the division, with 8th armoured brigade acting as the Corps independent armoured brigade. Two armoured brigades for the division, would be logical.

The special security division (HQ Chilas) is purely light infantry. When fully raised, it is supposed to have It has 9 regular army and 6 paramilitary infantry battalions. There is no supporting artillery, armour, or other arms you would normally associate with a regular infantry division.

One way to look at the Pak ORBAT w.r.t armour, is to look bottom-up.
Pak army has 51 tank regiments. (52, but The President's bodyguard has no tanks)

Each infantry division (excl. FCNA and the SSD and I assume 2 divisions of X corps, which operate opposite the LOC) would have a tank
regiment. There are 15 such Infantry divisions, accounting for 15 regiments.
Each mechanised division and mechanised brigade has 2 tank regiments. There are 3 mechanised divisions and 3 mechanised brigades, which
will account for 12 more regiments.
8 independent armoured brigades have 2 tank regiments each. That's 16 regiments.

That leaves 51 - (15+12+16) = 8 tank regiments for the 4 armoured brigades in the 1st and 6th armoured division.
Each tank regiment has 42 tanks compared to 45 in India.
This would mean their armoured formations have significantly lower firepower compared to IA ( 4 * 42 tanks vs. 6 * 45 for a IA Armoured division)

More realistically, if their 15 Infantry divisions have only a tank squadron (as IA had not long ago) instead of a regiment and their mechanised brigades have 1 tank regiment and not 2, it would release 13 tank regiments. Then, the 8 independent armoured brigades can add a regiment each, while the two armoured divisions can add 2 tank regiments each (1 in each armoured brigade).

Its largely moot. Pakistan has a far smaller airspace to cover by radar (mostly the western border, east of the Indus), so there would
be some overlap of ground radar coverage, for e.g. in the airfields centered around Sargodha). I would assume they would rely heavily on
their relatively large AWAC fleet, which are of course, mobile platforms.

Yes, you're right. I took this data from a source written 20 years back and realised it later.

BTW, does anyone have an ebook version of this book? At the Forward Edge of Battle by Syed Ali Hamid

Pakistanis have put one anti-tank missile launcher on APCs & Land Rovers calling them Heavy Anti Tank (HAT) and Light AT. Each can fire only 1 missile before reloading . Found Only 1 dedicated AT (3rd pic @KesariDhwaj).

Some of the known anti-tank units and missiles in pakistani army. Even with local production run of Chinese ATGMs and TOW stockpiles, pakis still bought Russian Kornets and unguided rockets from Spain.
Any guesses why?

Kornets are available with Thermobaric warheads which might be useful against structures. Missile guidance is laser beam riding which is still not fire and forget but more modern than the wire guided TOW and HJ-8. But since they bought these recently they might have bought the Kornet-EM which is the newer Fire-and-forget variant.

Please watch 0:49 onwards. Single ATGMS on M113s were standard procedure for NATO. Pakis have borrowed Bakhtar Shikhan on M113s from this.....

Excuse the bad formatting.

Pakistani Armed Forces ORBAT, Part 2: Anti Tank, Air Defence & Army Aviation units and weapons

https://jjamwal.in/yayavar/pakistani-ar ... d-weapons/
This section covers some of the components (can’t remember the right word for it at the moment) of Pakistani army like regiments, armour and anti-tank units. There is surprisingly little information about even basic information like infantry regiments of Pakistani army and a lot of data is missing.

Anti Tank
Pakistani Army utilises dedicated vehicle mounted anti-tank infantry battalions and organic anti-tank guided missiles (ATGM) with some infantry battalions.These battalions have good mobility and are meant for harassing enemy armour formations as in defensive as well as offensive operations. Starting from the late 1950s, 1-2 battalions from certain divisions were assigned the role of Reconnaissance and Support (R&S) by arming them with weapons mounted on light vehicles. At that time jeep like vehicles were fitted with recoilless rifles and medium (and heavy?) machine guns. This formed a fast moving screening and reconnaissance element for rest of the forces.

Later on, most of these battalions were converted into Light Anti Tank (LAT) battalions assigned to brigade level command. There are some Heavy Anti Tank (HAT) battalions which are most probably under Corps or Division level control.
Following are some of the known anti-tank units:

UNIT LOCATION
19 Baloch LAT battalion
5 Punjab? LAT Regiment Peshawar, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa
21 Punjab LAT Battalion
23 Punjab LAT Battalion
26 Punjab LAT Battalion Sialkot
34 Punjab LAT Okara Cantt
