It is indeed always a shocker for me to see even dawn staffers confuse a police commando with SSG. SSG training is extremely diverse because the operational requirements are far beyond the scope of any police/paramilitary formation. Instead of a stupid Dolphin force or any other XYZ, we need a...

We shall have to operate our Troops and SSG with a severe disadvantage of a hostage situation. SSG shall be really exposed in case of a rescue bid for the hostages. I hope and pray that there are no additional police/military casualties. CM is as usual passing the blame to Police Higher Ups...

http://tribune.com.pk/story/577312/rajanpur-kacha-area-govt-okays-release-of-lj-men-in-swap-for-police-hostages/ This is the sort of stuff what was happening here in the past as well, despite two consecutive terms of PML-N. Is it really a case of the government not knowing what to expect...

The issue crippling this operation is basically Punjab Government's petty mindedness; technical capabilities are only brought into question once the Government hands over the operation to military. Police is now saying there are even anti aircraft weapons being operated by the militants. Perhaps...

Without knowing where the policemen have been lost, it is ill advised. SSG snipers and recon troops can be inserted only for support roles, however right now it seems like an extreme step as even regular military has not been deployed as per wishes of Government. This is more of a domain of...

Maybe the newly raised dolphin force can take their 500cc Bikes and come to the rescue? If only money is spent on the needs of the police and not on white elephants! I hope the government wakes up soon, this is not something our police is used to doing. Rangers were a logical choice but once...

Instead of using commonalities as grounds to annex each other's territory, we should look at it from a different perspective. Afghanistan and Pakistan are sovereign states who should exist as peaceful and respectful neighbors, sharing a brotherly bond due to a lot of common heritage and cultural...

Yeah I know what you are referring too... I was also initially very excited just like many people were, once we heard about this amazing new technology. However once i started asking questions as to why things were not moving forward, I was lucky to be able to get input from a few veterans of...

Definitely it is a very poor grade coal. It shall barely make a decent business case in any scenario, however coal mining shall at least deliver you some assured results as it shall be part of a controlled process. Since you know the quality of the coal so an effective power plant can be...

Despite the respected Doctor's claims of a successful trial, there is a lot more than meets the eye. The trial was successful as far as production of gas was concerned but nothing practical was gained in terms of ensuring the parameters required to run a power plan. Somehow our scientists do not...

Such sagely advice is perhaps an error of judgement in viewing the elite society where super cars roam the streets and many Terra bytes of data is uploaded on you tube showing the racing skills of the uber rich youth on their super cars. However, many parts of Saudi Arabia and rest of Muslim...

I do not think there was ever a policy of appeasement, however there was also no policy of targeting minorities within the forces. Group Captains Cecil and Hakimullah were trusted to set up the Combat Commanders School and it remains the most elite training Institute of PAF. He was even...

As evident in the recorded and authentic history of Islam, many women were present on military campaigns in foreign lands in significant numbers. They even participated in the battles in various support roles. In a few instances when a raiding enemy column bypassed the main army and struck the...

Cecil Chaudhry has always been a respected name within the PAF. May he rest in peace. He was awarded multiple military awards for his military contribution and was also given one of the top civilian awards (pride of performance) posthumously for his social contribution. I would say that he was...

Few come to my mind as well. German Army's lack of initiative in cutting off and capturing the 330,000+ Allied troops (included 200,000+ British troops) in France (Dunkirk) was a major let off at the beginning of the war. Interestingly, Hitler was perhaps always under the notion that he would...

With Sri Lanka it was either going to be JF-17 or some other affordable multi-role aircraft which is currently inducted in one of the leading air forces of the world. From what I have read, India also offered a credit line to Sri Lanka to purchase anything except JF-17, but that does not...

Since we are evaluating the Chinese Attack Helicopter WZ-10 these days on top of talks with US over Cobras so perhaps we are keeping all options open at the moment. I sincerely hope that we finalize an option and move forward. I understand that defense procurement is a time taking process as we...

Interesting concept and perhaps a significant step in moving towards an unmanned total warfare capability... Source:- BBC - Autos - Meet Darpa's new autonomous submarine-hunter With the push for driverless vehicles in recent years, one might think that humans had a less than stellar history in...

Umar Akmal is really trying to help selectors in reaching a decision...i hope he improves or it would be such a waste of talent. The bowling was good this time around so overall both warm up games have helped the team. The only thing i am concerned about is the constant changes in batting order...

Agreed. Imran Nazir is a phenomenal hitter but he fails a lot as well... I think Umar is fine at no 3 which should be his slot in ODI as well, if he performs then nothing like it. At least he should be tried for an extended run in this position.
