Wrong assessment! It was not the poor French built Submarine but it was the poorly trained Indian Captain of that Submarine that led to its unceremonious detection.
Owing to its operational ability, Pakistan does not need Nuclear Powered Submarines that would be monetarily prohibitive to maintain and keep operational. Pakistan does however need an in house submarine building capability ASAP!
I've checked. The VIPER IFV mock up is made by a private company in collaboration with HIT. Systems installed on it are all mockups and not real. Though a good concept but at the end of the day mainly for export market and not for PA.
A person clearly indicted in the SC ruling for sabotaging and going against the constitution of Pakistan made the DG ISI is not a good sign for the democratic future of Pakistan. Time catches up with all sooner or later

With the induction of S-400 by India in 2020, all air assets will be compromised whether on land or at sea. PN must be given priority and the next battle ground must be set UNDER the sea. This means investing in immediate local development and manufacturing of SWAT's and smaller nuclear missile...
A 'local' Rear Admiral promotion entails that the person has been promoted to remain at the same position of his current department and I think can also not be posted to other Navy sections in the same position.
It is a bloody shame that only 15 years ago Turkey was asking Pakistan to provide the AK Tank for its own requirement but HIT was not able to comply. Today, we are at the same place while Turkey has excelled in every defense field so much that we are now asking it for equipment for our forces...
