Pakistani nation felt betrayed by US statements, Pak Army chief tells US commander

RAWALPINDI: Army Chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa has told Commander US Central Command (Centcom) during a telephonic conversation that the Pakistani nation felt betrayed over recent US statements despite decades of cooperation, the military said in a statement on Friday.

According to the statement issued by the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), General Bajwa received two telephone calls from General Joseph L. Votel and a US Senator over the weekend to discuss Pak-US security cooperation post the President Trump tweet.

The statement didn't mention name of the US Senator.

The statement cited the army chief as saying Pakistan will not seek resumption of aid but expect honorable recognition of its contributions, sacrifices and unwavering resolve in fight against terrorism for peace and stability in the region.

The Army Chief said, “Pakistan shall continue its sincere counter terrorism efforts even without US financial support in accordance with our national interest and shall remain committed to bring it to its logical conclusion along with other stake holders.”

He said that Pakistan has suffered hugely due to great power contestation in the region.

General Bajwa went on to say, “Pakistan is fully aware of US concerns on activities of Afghan nationals in Pakistan and we are already undertaking multiple actions through Operation ‘Radd ul Fasaad’ to deny any residual capacity to terrorists of all hue and colour for which return of Afghan Refugees is an essential prerequisite.”

“Pakistan is also strengthening border controls unilaterally but if Afghanistan genuinely feels affected from Pakistan, bilateral border management must be Kabul’s top priority as well.”

The General further said that Pakistan will keep supporting all initiatives for peace in Afghanistan despite the tendency to scapegoat Pakistan, as peace in Afghanistan is the only way to move towards enduring peace and stability in the region.

General Joseph L. Votel apprised the army chief about the US decision regarding Security Assistance and Coalition Support Fund and said that the US values Pakistan’s role towards war on terror and expected that ongoing turbulence remains a temporary phase

These were people who genuinely wanted soldiery. He had everything. A very luxurious life. He left everything to become a soldier. We need this kind of people in every walk of life. Who genuinely wish to make a difference. Not just people who wanted to become "afsars".

Gen Mitha was indeed a legend. Understand he insisted on extreme physical fitness for the Commandos and is considered a father figure of the SSG. Even people such as I, have heard about his military prowess.

The website could be out of date. MSI is basically attributing this info to Levent Tanin, Naval Warfare System Engineer at Havelsan (who gave the info as part of a public speech). I don't think Havelsan would let that info come by if it were incorrect or secret.

Havelsan was still promoting DOOB to PA at IDEAS 2016, three years after it was tested. No evidence it was acquired.



Savaş YANIK: The DOOB software, developed at the strategic and operational level, enhances decision support capability at the headquarters by compiling command and control functions and data from land, air and naval forces, is developed with HAVELSAN own resources. Tested in NATO exercises, the system has spoken of its name, which has not yet landed on the stage successfully.

System; The developments in NATO have been designed and developed to respond to needs such as joint planning and operation, efficient and fast sharing of data. On the other hand, one of the most crucial features of the system is that it can be easily adapted to any organizational structure. The DOOB system was also used as a Command Control System in an exercise conducted by the Land Forces of Pakistan and its capabilities were tested.

The tender held by the Oman Ministry of Defense; still contains almost the same scope, except size, through the joint image project, which is still under supply by SSM. Both the fact that the DOOB is produced with the latest technology and the fact that the life cycle cost is very advantageous compared to our competitions is that HAVELSAN is chosen for the highlight of Oman.

It could be promotion for additional DOOB orders for all we know. The recent MSI - i.e. same sources you are quoting - says a contract was actually signed in 2013. As far as Turkish defence industry issues go, this is basically the most reliable source we have (they're constantly in touch and on scene). IMO if we discount this then we might as well discount a whole lot of other things.
