This is bit old news but i guess not reported.

Six lieutenant generals appointed, transferred
Six lieutenant generals appointed, transferred - thenews.com.pk

ISLAMABAD: With the appointment of newly-promoted Lt. Gen. Obaidullah as Commander Army Strategic Force Command (ASFC) on Monday, Pakistan’s entire set-up handling the strategic assets and planning and command got replaced within a month.



The chairman Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee got changed on November 29 this year with the



promotion and appointment of General Rashad Mehmood. This was followed by the last week’s appointment of Lt. Gen. Zubair Mahmood Hayat as Director-General Strategic Plans Division in place of Lt Gen (retd) Khalid Kidwai.



Top circles term these changes as “most significant”, as it never happened in the history since Pakistan conducted the nuclear tests on May 28, 1998 that the entire team handling the strategic programme underwent a change within a month.



General Rashad succeeded General Khalid Shamim Wynne as Chairman JCSC on the retirement of the latter. Lt. Gen. Zubair Hayat succeeded KK as DG SPD and now Lt. Gen. Obaidullah succeeded Lt. Gen. Tariq Gilani as Commander ASFC.



One top source told The News that there were new handlers, planners and commanders of strategic assets and it was a new aspect of national security parameters under the third-time Prime Minister Muhammad Nawaz Sharif.



With these and other reshuffles at the top level, Army Chief General Raheel Sharif on Monday completed the first cycle of reshuffle with a mixed trend of appointing new corps commanders and principal staff officers (PSOs).



The current PSO – Adjutant General Lt Gen Javed Iqbal – has been appointed as Corps Commander Bahawalpur while Corps Commander Bahawalpur Lt Gen Zubair Hayat has already been shifted to Director-General Strategic Plans Division (DG SPD).In Lt. Gen. Javed Iqbal’s place, Commander Army Air Defence Lt. Gen. Zamirul Hassan has been posted as Adjutant General (AG) as PSO at the General Headquarters.



This trend seems different to former army chief General Ashfaq Parvez Kayani who appointed newly-promoted three-star generals as PSOs instead of sending them in the field as corps commanders. However, General Sharif is showing a mixed trend in such appointments and reshuffles.



Lt. Gen. Obaidullah has been appointed Commander ASFC in place of Lt. Gen. Tariq Gilani. Gilani has been posted as Chief of Logistic Staff (CLS), a position lying vacant since the premature retirement of Lt. Gen. Haroon Aslam on being superseded.



In place of Zamirul Hassan, now AG, Lt. Gen. Zahid Latif has been posted as Commander Army Air Defence. Newly-promoted Lt. Gen. Ikramul Haq has been appointed as Inspector-General Training and Evaluation (ITE&E) at the GHQ, as this position had been lying vacant since General Raheel Sharif assumed the command of Pakistan Army.



It is expected that the next cycle of promotions and reshuffle in the command and staff positions will take place in October next year when around five senior lieutenant generals will retire.

Pakistan's National Deterrent Division Gets New Leader

ISLAMABAD — Pakistan’s Strategic Plans Division (SPD), which oversees all aspects of its nuclear deterrent, has a new director general after long-serving Lt. Gen.Khalid Ahmed Kidwai retired and was replaced by Lt. Gen. Zubair Mahmood Hayat.

The SPD oversees all aspects of the development and production of warheads and delivery systems that make up the national deterrent as well as Pakistan’s space programs.

It is part of the larger National Command Authority, the civilian-led body that oversees all command-and-control aspects of Pakistan’s strategic nuclear forces and organizations. The SPD functions as the secretariat of the National Command Authority.

Kidwai had been at the head of the organization since 2000.

The change in command is being viewed positively by analysts as it will help increase confidence in the country’s nuclear management under a civilian authority, and the confidence to make critical decisions under trying circumstances.

Brian Cloughley, former Australian defense attache to Islamabad, said Kidwai had been in the position “far too long,” but there was seemingly little appetite to replace him.
He said Hayat seems quite competent and “did well at staff college in the UK.”

“I don’t see any changes happening in SPD because of him, but there’s no doubt it’s in good, steady hands,” he added.

Mansoor Ahmed, from Quaid-e-Azam University’s Department of Defence and Strategic Studies and who specializes in Pakistan’s national deterrent and delivery program, believes the change goes beyond a mere change of the top man.

“It is a sign that the system has matured to the point that it can function independent of personalities who come and go ... the institution itself acquires a self-sustaining momentum that is required of a robust command and control structure.

“It augurs well for the future of institutional growth and is a positive trend in the nuclear learning trajectory of Pakistan,” he added.

He said Kidwai steered the SPD through some tough times.

“Kidwai had the privilege of presiding over the most challenging period post-1998 tests, and uncharted territory had to be covered with no prior experience, especially establishing the command-and-control structure for the nuclear program and the strategic forces, with an emphasis on establishing a safety and security architecture that has earned the respect of the international community; dealing with the 2002 and 2008 crises and India’s cold-start doctrine, managing international nuclear diplomacy while maintaining Pakistan’s strategic interests; dealing with the A.Q. Khan episode of illicit nuclear proliferation; and expansion of the civilian nuclear energy base with Chinese assistance.”

As things stand, however, Ahmed believes Kidwai’s achievements are readily seen in SPD, with steady progress being made to establish a more robust deterrent capability.

“The SPD under Kidwai has come a long way, starting from scratch to operationalizing the deterrent in terms of the doctrine, policy, strategy and security. Pakistan now has nine different types of missile systems, is enhancing its plutonium production capability whose infrastructure was operationalized during Kidwai’s time, and is moving towards a second strike capability,” he said.
The mainstay of Pakistan’s first-strike capability is believed to be based on the Shaheen/Falcon, Nasr, Ghaznavi, and perhaps Abdali range of short- and medium-range ballistic missiles.

An air-launched cruise missile, the Ra’ad/Thunder, is also capable of carrying nuclear warheads.

Pakistan’s fledgling second-strike capability is thought to comprise submarine-launched HATF-VII/Vengeance-VII Babur cruise missiles. ■

Pakistan’s
elite are snapping up armoured vehicles as the number of killings and kidnappings in Karachi escalate at an alarming rate. Armoured vehicle manufacturers are benefitting as a result; Streit Group, the world’s largest private armoured vehicle maker, says its Pakistan business has doubled in the last 12 months.

Although Pakistan’s indigenous market is beginning to gain traction, the highly anticipated

Burraq MRAP being built by state-owned Heavy Industries Taxila is being held back, reportedly due to lack of cash.

Jordan's Nash-Shab rocket launcher attracts export interest

complete Nash-Shab system weighs around 10 kg. (Mohammed Najib)

The 105 mm Nash-Shab (RPG-32) rocket launcher is attracting interest from potential customers less than a year after the start of production, according to Shadi Majali, the CEO of the King Abdullah II Design and Development Bureau (KAADB).

Majali stated that two Arab Gulf states and some North African countries had expressed interest in purchasing the Nash-Shab, while the Pakistani military has tested the system in Jordan pending a procurement decision.

The Nash-Shab project is a joint venture by KAADB and Russia's state arms export agency, Rosoboronexport. The Jadara Equipment & Defence Systems Company (JRESCO), a KADDB subsidiary, began producing the system from parts supplied by Rosoboronexport in May 2013. The first consignment was delivered to the Jordanian Armed Forces in the second half of 2013 and a second is expected in mid-2014.

The Nash-Shab is available with tandem anti-tank or thermobaric warheads, as well as with the sub-calibre IRG-32V training round. The system consists of a disposable tube containing the unguided rocket, which is fitted to a reusable sighting unit for firing. Brigadier General Bassam Issa, the director general of JRESCO, said that the sighting unit could be used to fire 200 rounds.

It can be fitted with either the standard 1P81 day sight, the new LRF GS-2R sight that is manufactured in Belarus or the NV/A-1 night vision sight made by Aselsan Middle East.

The system's modularity is being promoted as a useful feature for states facing internal security threats, as the sighting units can be stored separately from the rockets, thereby significantly reducing the risk of militants capturing complete systems if they raid military stockpiles. "This is a safe generation of rockets that could not fall in the hands of terrorists," Issa said.
