PAA personal were also present at the Zhouhi Airshow.......looking at the Z-10. ??

Well he is the commanding officer of the PA aviation corps and if he is present at Zhuhai, that would mean he is there with a team which will not only be looking at the Z-10, rather they might have been invited for a testing phase too.

I do believe PA has decided to give a try to Z-10 and see what comes out of it. Financially and capability wise it might be a more preferred platform.

Pentagon to reimburse $688mn to Pakistan


December 18, 2012




WASHINGTON: The Pentagon quietly notified Congress this month that it would reimburse Pakistan nearly $700 million for the cost of stationing 140,000 troops on the border with Afghanistan, an effort to normalise support for the Pakistani military after nearly two years of crises and mutual retaliation, The New York Times reported.



According to the report, the United States also provides about $2 billion in annual security assistance, roughly half of which goes to reimburse Pakistan for conducting military operations to fight terrorism.



Until now, many of these reimbursements, called coalition support funds, have been held up, in part because of disputes with Pakistan over the Bin Laden raid, the operations of the CIA, and its decision to block supply lines into Afghanistan last year.



The $688 million payment - the first since this summer, covering food, ammunition and other expenses from June through November 2011 - has caused barely a ripple of protest since it was sent to Capitol Hill on Dec 7.



The absence of a reaction, American and Pakistani officials say, underscores how relations between the two countries have been gradually thawing since Pakistan reopened the NATO supply routes in July after an apology from the Obama administration for an errant American airstrike that killed 24 Pakistani soldiers in November 2011.

Shaheed Lance Naik Mahfuz remembered


ISLAMABAD - Nishan-i-Haider laureate Lance Naik Muhammad Mahfuz Shaheed was remembered on his death anniversary on Tuesday.

Muhammad Mahfuz Shaheed was born in Jat family of Pind Malikan (now Mahfuzabad) in Rawalpindi District on October 25, 1944. Muhammad Mahfuz joined Pakistan Army on October 25, 1962 as an infantry soldier.

At the time of India-Pakistan War of 1971, Lance Naik Muhammad Mahfuz was serving in Company “A” of 15 Punjab Regiment deployed on the Wagah-Attari Sector. On the night of December 17-18, his company was assigned the task of occupying Phul Kanjri village located in the same sector.

Lance Naik Muhammad Mahfuz was assigned to Platoon No. 3, which was designated as the forward unit in the assault. Thus this Platoon had to face torrential volleys of enemy fire from concrete Pill boxes.

When the entire Company “A” was about 70 yards from the Indian position, it was pinned down by an unceasing frontal and cross fire from automatic weapons. On top of that, the enemy artillery also opened up its fire with the break of dawn.

Mahfuz, whose machine-gun was destroyed by an enemy shell, charged towards the Indian defences. His heroic feat led to the success of the Pakistani assault.

For his supreme courage, Lance Naik Muhammad Mafuz Shaheed was awarded Nishan-i-Haider, the highest Military award of Pakistan.

HIT is also on the cusp of producing ten ton Chinese Beiben trucks for the Pakistan military and commercial customers. The Beiben truck is currently being trialled by the Pakistan Army while the civil version is being trialled by the National Logistics Cell. If trials are successful, full-scale production will begin for the Pakistan Army.

The company also produces bullet-proof vests and jackets and bullet-proof sedans, with a Toyota Altis on display at IDEAS. Cheema said HIT’s bullet-proof vests were recently sent to the United States for testing, as they are lighter than what the Americans already have and that the company is awaiting feedback. He added that more than 100 bullet-proof sedans have been built for VVIPs and other customers.

Four major- generals promoted

RAWALPINDI: Four Major Generals of Pakistan Army have been promoted to the rank of Lieutenant General.

Those promoted are: Major General Maqsood Ahmed (ISI), Major General Zubair Mahmood Hayat (GOC Sialkot), Major Ganeral Syed Wajid Hussain (Vice Chief of General Staff), Major General Najibullah Khan (GOC Gujranwala), said the ISPR in a statement.

The four now have been promoted as three-star generals.

Retirement of Chief of General Staff Lt General Waheed Arshad on January 20 will leave the four top positions vacant to be filled by fresh promotions or through reshuffling of three-star generals.

After shifting of Lt Gen Abid Pervaiz as Corps Commander Multan, the position of Chief of Logistic Staff (CLS) will be filled in with new appointment of either a promoted general or through reshuffle.

However, Chief of Army Staff Gneral Ashfaq Parvez Kiayani will take the key decision in the near future to appoint the new Chief of General Staff (CGS).

The positions of the head of Heavy Industries Taxila (HIT) and Engineer-in-Chief of Pakistan Army are also lying vacant at present.

Analysts say that a newly-promoted general will get the important slot of the CGS, though it is the prerogative of the army chief to appoint anyone from the present lot.

A senior official said that General Syed Wajid Hussain will likely become the head of the HIT, and General Najeebullah Khan the Engineer-in-Chief of Pakistan Army.

In this phase of promotion from Major General to Lieutenant General, three Major Generals – Mohammad Raza, Farrukh Khan and Khawar Hanif – have reportedly been superseded. However, they would continue to serve out their present tenure, according to a senior official.

our correspondent
Tuesday, January 15, 2013



ISLAMABAD: Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry Monday remarked that voice of the people should be heard who are saying that Balochistan should be handed over to the Army.



The chief justice observed this while hearing the Balochistan law and order situation case filed by the Balochistan High Court Bar Association against target killings and kidnapping for ransom. The case is being heard by a three-member bench of the Supreme Court.



The court sought copy of the notification pertaining to imposition of governor’s rule in restive province of Balochistan besides seeking comprehensive report on law and order situation in the province.



Appearing on notice, Balochistan Advocate General Amanullah Kanrani told the court that governor’s rule has been imposed in the province on which the court sought a copy of the notification.



During the hearing, the chief justice questioned as to why the perpetrators of Quetta and Mastung incidents have not been arrested so far. He reprimanded the advocate general and said that the authority does not want to arrest such people who are involved in such incidents.



The chief justice observed that the human rights situation has not improved in the province nor is there any progress in the matter. Law enforcement agencies are blaming each other while thousands of the missing people have not been recovered yet.



The court adjourned hearing till 29 January.Meanwhile, a constitutional petition was filed in the Supreme Court praying for directing the prime minister to call the armed forces in Balochistan for normalising the law and order situation there.



Tariq Asad advocate has filed the petition under Article 184(3) of the Constitution, making the federal government, minister of interior, chief secretary and home secretary Balochistan and the prime minister respondents.



The petitioner prayed that the in view of the prevailing worst law and order situation in Balochistan, directions should be issued to prime minister to call the armed forces under Article 245 of the Constitution to act in aid of civil power subject to law until the negative elements are eliminated and the law and order situation returns to normal.
