With all the mayhem in Pakistan and in anticipation of (rightly or wrongly) some level of an uptick in activities in IoJK post-FATF, Indians are extremely busy these days. https://cscr.pk/explore/themes/defense-security/indian-armed-forces-extraordinary-force-posturing-in-the-western-theatre/

Nothing hurts young people like me more than seeing our peers and rivals progress while we are condemned to the stagnation and since the turn of the century, a fast-paced descent in nearly every sphere of national life. How can this impatient energy (call it frustration) be channeled into...

Let's bury the past and move on? After the Afghan Taliban, Indian soldiers intrude into Pakistani territory to threaten the people of Pakistan (one bstrd is seen threatening civilians chanting Pakistan zindabad to remain silent while standing on Pakistani land). I wonder what's the limit of...

Two different papers, two different stories. Debt accumulation is continuing at a mindboggling pace. None of it is being used to increase the productive capacity of the economy, rather stave off default and keep the country afloat (as has been the story from the late 1980s, but I do not remember...

If you are observing the developments in Balochistan that is around 42% of Pakistan's total landmass, you would be able to recognize a pattern. That pattern entails insurgents being able to strike at will, at a tactically advantageous point, and at times with an overwhelming projection of force...

I have asked this question on this forum and elsewhere repeatedly, why is Chahbahar not burning? It is a well-known fact that Iran is hosting BLF militants and their leadership (not to say they do not have a mass presence in Balochistan too). Indian presence in Iran much like Afghanistan in...

Listen to purely technical aspects of the discussion filtering out political partisanship (which is already limited in the exchange). It is a very thought-provoking interview. Refreshingly, someone cites solutions.

This vital statement somehow evaded the radars of many all over the Pakistani internet; mainstream media in Pakistan is a lost cause anyway. The same Indian army which had scuttled efforts of Pakistani and Indian political leaderships to reach a settlement on the Siachin dispute...

TTP leadership sits pretty accorded protocol and security by Badri 313 units in Afghanistan as its minions have again started killing 2-5 agents of state daily in settled and tribal KPK districts after the collapse of the so-called ceasefire. TTP's Afghan Taliban hosts pass pronouncements on the...

GCC Arabs are being too eager to sit in the lap of India due to its market size. Meanwhile, this is what the Indian intelligentsia most of which has now been infiltrated and compromised by ultra-right-wing Hindu supremacists aspires for. Entire UAE and Oman, the most pro India Khaleeji states...

Talib suicide bombing recruiters and conditioners used to do this stuff in subterranean tunnels and bunkers, while this is what is being done with the future of Pakistan by TLP activists in the heartland of Punjab in the open sight. How long can the state continue looking the other way? Brelvi...

The Housing Reconstruction in Awaran project is an example. It was initiated after the September 2013 quake. The centre and the province jointly prepared a housing reconstruction project for the district. A sum of Rs4 billion was allocated to reconstruct 16,000 houses at an estimated cost of...

After the lawless and devoid of any humanity, lot of lawyers, we have another set of goons in this society. Humanity has been made to hang its head in shame yet again by the Doctor goons. The incompetent rabble-rousers are afraid that their privileges are under threat in the face of the health...

In the recent JCC meeting, it appears that the Pakistani side could not get anything it set out to get while the Chinese side has gotten everything it wanted. Tariffs for the Chinese IPPs would not be renegotiated, meaning that PML-N ad-hocism would continue costing the country for the...

Communications and cyberinfrastructure hardening is becoming a critical point of information denial/protection in warfighting today. It assumes an even more crucial dimension for us as our military institutions pursue more significant data fusion and network centricity. While people like Praveen...

“Where will the exchange rate go if it’s left completely independent? What’s the point in building foreign exchange reserves if they are not stabilizing the exchange rate?” he said while noting that the rate is at an all-time high of almost Rs170 although the reserves have increased to $20bn...

Take it as a kind of thought experiment. After watching the video, what comes to your mind as the possible avenue for reducing attrition? The military now shows ambush-type attacks in its PR videos. The video is more in sync with the operational activities in Balochistan. The attire/get-up of...

Indians are procuring SkyStriker loitering munitions. Are we working on an indigenous solution in the public/private sector to equip our forces with this capability? I do not remember reading or listening about loitering munitions being a part of the inventory of PA. Can anyone correct me if I...

Abbas Stanakzai went to the Indian embassy in Qatar to meet the Indian diplomats to allay their concerns vis a vis the use of Afghan soil against Indian interests. On the one hand, we have daily fire raids emanating from Afghan soil (3-4 in as many days) on our border posts resulting in...

A member commented that Pakistan is not Pakistan, that it was at the eve of 9/11, and that we are a stronger state now. While I believe that there are few areas where our capabilities improved, we regressed in many others. Our inability to punish India with a proportionate response to its covert...
