Sitting atop a tank and peering down the barrels of machine guns - these are the female university students trained in the art of self defence.

Photographs taken yesterday of the training session show the group of women sitting on a military tank operated by the Pakistan Army as it travels along a dusty road.

Another shows them learning to aim and fire machine guns. Wearing earmuffs and with one foot planted firmly in front of the other, they are instructed by army soldiers.

The Sardar Bahadur Khan Women's University in Quetta, established in 2004, is situated in Pakistan's troubled Balochistan province.

In 2013, a bus carrying its students was bombed by a separatist faction, killing 14 people and injuring another 19.

In the wake of last year's Peshawar shootings - in which 145 people were gunned down - many schools began arming and training teachers how to operate guns. It was one of the worst terrorist atrocities in Pakistan's history - 132 of those killed in the December attack were schoolchildren.

The group of students are given a ride on top a military tank driven by the Pakistan Army

Here the women are pictured being instructed on the best method for aiming and firing machine guns, should the need ever arise

All the women should be trained the same way for self defense...like in Syria you can see ypg fighting along side the men...Pak should have the same power....

"Zama Topac Zama Qanoon day" (My Gun is my Law)
Most of them were Pukhtoon Ladies and its wasnt first time they had used this very weapon ,
This wasnt any training session but a visit by students of Sardar Bahadur Khan Women's University Quetta to FC HQ. FC Balochistan and many other Army units in country are organizing such visits on orders of Gen Raheel Shareef.
