Images have emerged showing what appears to be a new Chinese 8×8 assault gun equipped with a 105 mm main armament and a remote-controlled weapon station reportedly being trialled at what local media identified as the Baicheng Weapons Test Centre in northeastern China.

Images emerged in late January of a new Chinese 8×8 assault gun being tested by the PLAGF. (Via lt.cjdby.net)

First released in late January by state-owned China Central Television (CCTV), the images show that the platform’s chassis appears to be based on a new development of that used in the Type 09 (the export version of which is known as VN1) family of wheeled armoured vehicles supplied by China North Industries Corporation (Norinco).

In November 2018 an image had emerged on Chinese online forums showing the new chassis armed with a radar-directed 35 mm anti-aircraft cannon.

Army chief General Qamar Bajwa has appreciated the efforts of Islamic Military Counter Terrorism Coalition (IMCTC) towards regional peace and security.

The development came during a meeting between General (retd) Raheel Sharif, the chief of the Islamic military coalition, and General Qamar at the General Headquarters in Rawalpindi on Monday, said the ISPR.

General Raheel, who retired as chief of Pakistan Army in November 2016, arrived in Pakistan along with the IMCTC delegation on Sunday.

The Islamic coalition of 41 countries aims to fight “terrorism through collective efforts in the ideology, communication, counter-terrorist financing & military domains”.

Nothing more sacred than defending motherland: COAS

Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Qamar Javed Bajwa has said that he takes pride in leading an Army which is always fully prepared to perform the most sacred duty of defending the motherland.

He said this while addressing troops deployed at the Working Boundary near Sialkot on Sunday.

The army chief appreciated state of high morale and readiness of the troops, said a statement issued by the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) DG Major General Asif Ghafoor on Twitter.

“There isn’t anything more sacred than defending the motherland. I take pride in leading an Army which is ever ready to perform this duty,” Gen Qamar was quoted by the top military spokesperson as saying.

The statement comes amid heightened tensions between Pakistan and India in the aftermath of a suicide attack that killed over 40 Indian paramilitary personnel in occupied Kashmir last week.

On Saturday, the Foreign Office had announced setting up a “Crisis Management Cell” in the wake of deteriorating situation between the two countries, a day after India moved thousands of paramilitary troops to further bolster its security presence in the occupied valley.

New Delhi authorised and airlifted at least 100 paramilitary companies to the occupied zone following the detention of Jammu Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF) Chief Yasin Malik and the arrests of Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) workers in the latest crackdown against the resistance leadership on Friday.

The banned Jaish-e-Muhammad (JeM) group had reportedly claimed responsibility for the February 14 attack but New Delhi blamed Islamabad and threatened a retaliatory attack.

In response to India’s allegations, Prime Minister Imran Khan had promised to conduct an investigation if New Delhi provided actionable evidence. He also warned that Pakistan would ‘retaliate’ if attacked.
