When Generals play diplomats, peacemakers, statesmen, political brokers, their core competency i.e. generalship atrophies. Even security became elusive in the national security state until a professional general (Raheel Sharif) emerged.

Until the leadership in Afghanistan and Iran does not begin seeing drones hovering above its head, Pakistani citizenry would remain living in fear for its life.

I wouldn't be surprised considering the type of language IK was using in the immediate aftermath of August 2019. The activity of Kashmiri resistance and access of tools of resistance to them has dried up completely which would be yet another feather in the hat of the pacifist General Bajwa who...

Either preparation of a false flag (a customary extension of olive branch to establish moral supremacy after the fact) or the lopsided success (in India's favor) of backchannels. People didn't notice but recently an Indian export shipment moved to Uzbekistan through Pakistan and Afghanistan...

Factions within the establishment are backing different horses. Not even a puny statement came from the treasury or the opposition benches on this act of aggression. This is telling how divided this country is currently courtesy of the power-hungry puppeteers and their power-hungry puppets. I...

Another point of great concern should be that we were "tracking" the projectile. There was liberal use of terms like Alhamdollillah, it was unarmed. How did we know it was unarmed and what if it had not been? If you lack a certain capability, at least you have to reestablish deterrence to deter...

You, my friend, have hit the bullseye. The image of infallibility has to be maintained. However, they do not realize that the integrity of the armed forces of Pakistan takes a battering when the truth seeps out from the cracks in the age of social media and smartphones. I reckon this gives us an...

Recommend this not be posted. It raises more questions than it answers. Why would a target drone/etc. be shot down in a drill over a civilian population center?

Pretty small exhaust for a fighter jet, at least the ones we operate. Can be an experimental vehicle that was being tested? I haven't seen any drone with an exhaust resembling this one.

ISIS-K is a RAW propped front for its bidding in Pakistan. Within days of the imambargah carnage, another high-profile attack has taken place. This is the perfect opportunity to up the ante in India proper when the entire world is busy with Ukraine to increase costs for the sponsors of such...

He also alludes to the incursion of the Iranian drone.

A well-known fact.

The establishment is part and parcel of the problem that props up one clown against the other. You need depoliticization of establishment, not an expanded policing role for it. All these clowns need to sit together and iron out a charter of economy so hard decisions could be taken without...

Of course, it will. Pulling a PPP and PML N on the country. Be ready for another IMF program. PS. the textile exports are also beginning to show a dwindling trend. As I keep saying here without a charter of economy these politicians would keep screwing the national interest to shore up their...

5 billion is a very tiny figure. We would be aiming for a much greater share in the pie. It is being used to maintain state bank's reserves or finance the fiscal deficit (that itself is a result of a high component of debt servicing which includes interest + principal payments).

Interesting that they cite the Indian media's report that two pilots have died in the crash. The crash site though is said to be Budgam where the Mi17 crashed.

nuff said!

These things do not happen by design. Corruption, political appointments, and incompetence are enough at their own. One does not have to resort to making some grand connections and giving in to conspiratorial frame of mind to explain the rot.

Actually, Pakistan's debt problem is older than the current rising debt levels across the world as the world bank has alarmingly pointed out. You may be onto something though because there could be a correlation between above the normal debt accumulation and the commodity supercycle. Pakistan's...
