Missile development, CPEC security termed major successes

[Dawood Ibrahim]

KARACHI: The military has enumerated successful tests of various missiles by the army and navy, arrangements for the security of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) and targeted strikes by the air force on militant hideouts in support of operation Zarb-i-Azb among its accomplishments during 2016.

According to a message released on social media by the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) director general on New Year’s Eve on Saturday, an enhanced version of the Babur cruise missile and the indigenously produced air-launched Ra’ad missile were successfully tested during the year.

The navy test-launched the shore-based anti-ship missile Zarb and fired a surface-to-surface anti-ship missile in the North Arabian Sea from the Sword Class Frigate PNS Aslat.

Arrangements for the actualisation and security of the CPEC, consisting of an 870km road network and raising of a Special Security Division and Task Force 88 for its maritime security were carried out.

According to the ISPR, the navy proved its vigilance and operational preparedness by detecting and blocking an Indian submarine from entering Pakistani waters south of the country’s coast.

Also during the year, the groundbreaking of an air power centre of excellence was carried out to enhance PAF’s capacity to meet future challenges and undertake counterterrorism operations.

The Pakistan Air Force’s C-130 won the best aircraft trophy at the Royal International Tattoo Show in the United Kingdom.

And the people who paid RS his salary and provided billions in defense budget? God doesn't send money through Pay-pal for your military's salaries. If the country did well and so did the military, well the goals and funding was provided by the civilians. The military isn't "protecting the CPEC" that it couldn't have ever built, its protecting the investment that the Civilian leaders had brought in, which is the military's purpose like we see the National Guards deployed in the US from time to time for national issues.

Only in Pakistan it is assumed that the military works either on voluntary basis or on God send Pay-pal wires. The Civilians obviously will be considered "corrupt" and "inept" and are ignored while they provide the generals with S class Mercedes and 7 series BMW's, which aren't provided in the West. Sad to see how a whole nation gets ignores with who they vote for and a few generals win.

You think we are kids sitting and reading your nonsense. We know what is happening and who is doing what. Show me a single acheivement by Civilian government in NAP ? Civilian government is saving itself from this operation. I m not against democracy but what is happening in Pakistan is worst type of democracy in which only voting part is done and after that there is no one to ask or solve problems for this nation. Respect.

Dude this is an exclusive defense/militarily forum so emphasize will always been given to Pakistan armed forces and their doings. P.S you need to read the news carefully since the source is ISPR which is solely talking about Pak Army achievements in 2016.
