Pakistan is not the UK. For developing countries, specially ones where a majority of the population doe snot pay taxes and where more than 40% of the economy is undocumented, the govt can not be the primary employer. It is an unsustainable way to govern and no progress can be expected. Please...

Wrap your head around this fact: GOVERNMENTS CAN NOT ACT AS PRIMARY EMPLOYERS. Governments can facilitate the private sector,stimulate demand, incentivize investors and thus stimulate employment in various sectors of the economy. The National Job Portal is meant to serve as the primary point...

Shahrae Faisal and Clifton are filled with hundreds of these tiny 'companies' which are involved in scamming international customers, stealing their credit card details, personality theft and IP theft. The FIA can't even make a scratch in the surface. Poor pathetic guys.

The optics of these security meetings have changed ever since IK came into power. Look at the seating arrangement. The PM - chief executive of the country - sits at the head of the table with the heads of the two arms of the security apparatus, the armed forces and the intelligence on his left...

Yes and no. HVDC is concerned with the transmission segment. Generation is still AC. The conversion from AC to DC for transmission requires expensive and complex equipment. This is still feasible for new installations such as the Lahore-Matiari transmission line which will work at 660kV DC.

This is the main thing that the govt should focus on. Technically, when a power plant goes into fault state it should isolate itself from the grid. Because if the frequency of a single generator drops, it risks pulling down the frequency of the entire grid system it is connected to. In this...

Precisely. In simple words, we need multiple routes for electricity to travel between the north and south of the country. But the fault lies with previous govts specially the idiot Noonies who went on a spree to increase generating capacity without improving the transmission and distribution...

I am lol. I'm sure there are many more up here on PDF. Please put forward your TECHNICAL questions.

Apparently Guddu Thermal developed a fault and caused the frequency in the main grid to drop to 0 Hz. This tripped all power plants across the country. Even a frequency drop from 50 Hz to 49.5Hz can cause plants to trip. This exposes the lack of redundancies and obsolescence of our grid...

I'm sorry to bruise your ego even further, but even that is about to end. The fact that we imported typhoid, snake venom antiserum and rabies vaccines from India was because of limited local capacity thanks to the incompetence and treason of our former rulers (your dearest uncle Nawaz Sharif)...

It would be a great tragedy if the only result of this Azm MALE UCAV project is a system in the league of the CH-4. But, since PAC is PAC, we must keep an open mind and expect this to happen.

This is most likely what we call an SDM (scaled-down model). I'm aware of this design methodology being adopted in a similar project for the armed forces. If you remember, the PAC tendered the requirement for FPGAs, communication hardware and other equipment which was to be used for the...

And 4-5 years down the line, we can expect to add 50 Block-IIIA's to the current fleet. For a total of approximately 260 BVR-capable fighters and a network-centric capability that is battle-tested and in a cycle of continuous improvement, the PAF will maintain the upper hand and would remain...

We need a Chief of Defence Staff and centralized services HQ to coordinate across all three branches, the strategic forces and military intelligence services. The current Army-dominated arrangement is not sustainable.

The blood and tears have not been in vain. We are headed on the right track. Just think. If even 10% of the brilliant patriots that left the country come back as Dr Moeed Yusuf has done. We'd be unstoppable.

Even the recent understanding and consequent inclusion of SMEs in the defence establishment is merely a cosmetic move. Real administrative, financial and technical decision-making authority still remains with the uniformed overlords. This is a seriously demotivating factor for the professional...

All of these were political appointees and the typical chai samosa types who went to work everyday in PSM buses (the govt still paying for expensive transportation) and then lounged about all day drinking tea and gossipping. Pathetic old sods who should be grateful that previous incompetent...

This is what happens when key officials associated with classified government programs are clearly identified in the media. All the more reason for people on online platforms like Pakistan Defence to refrain from sharing absolutely any information which they may have about programs...

The one key takeaway I have from my work experience is that there is an extreme lack of general understanding and technical competence regarding cyber threats among military circles. All precautions taken are just surface level jobs (not having USB ports on PCs, firewalls, etc) There is no...
