Having 6,600 MW coal fired plant didn't make sense when two 1,000 MW nuclear plants are being considered for karachi.

sorry but coal is more better and environment friendly in my opinion.

I'm not so sure. Yes nuclear power stations require more rigorous safety standards than coal fired plants.

The A100, A200, and A300 all use 301 mm projectiles, but the A300 uses a longer version that takes the range from 200 km out to 290 km. The A200 and A300 use a combination of inertial measuring unit and GPS guidance that gives the former a CEP of 30 m and the latter a CEP of 30 m when using a unitary warhead and 45 m with a "shaped-charge fragmentation cluster" warhead.

An ALIT representative told IHS Jane's that the A-series was already in production for an export customer, which he declined to identify, but not the PLA.

I want to ask you a question that Pakistan Army has a budget of 700 Billion for 2014-15 and what it is used for? Is it only used for accommodation of army, their salaries etc or Pak Army do prepare and maintain their weapons and equipment in that budget? Same question for Pak Navy and Pak Air Force?

Quick question for who ever wants to take a shot at it. I am following several Pakistani defense twitter accounts and some might be active or retired members of Pakistani armed forces. I have noticed few of them post pictures of the shaheed, pictures before they are laid to rest. Isn't that disrespectful?

CHINESE TROOPS LIKELY TO JOIN PAK FORCES ON HISTORIC DAY

Pakistan Day Parade

Nuzhat NazarTuesday, February 24, 2015 - Islamabad—

With the completion of ongoing work at the site of Multi-Purpose Exhibition Ground in next few days the site will be ready to revive the tradition of Pakistan Day Parade on March 23, an official of the CapitalDevelopment Authority (CDA) said, requesting anonymity.

This would be the first parade in the said ground and the informed quarters have revealed that the Chinesetroops were likely take part in the Pakistan Day parade. Earlier there were reports that Chinese President Xi Jinping might attend and witness the parade too, however this has not been confirmed so far.

The guess work and speculations aside, March 23 would not only revive our golden tradition it would also strengthen nation’s trust in the armed forces of Pakistan.

As per CDA officials the ground located at the green area between Faizabad and Shakarparian along the Islamabad Highway is likely to be completed in next couple of weeks and would be available for Pakistan Day Parade.

A visit to the site by this reporter revealed that the scouting camps have been established near the site of Arts & Crafts Village where the troops likely to participate in the Parade are expected to be accommodated.

Joint Services Pakistan Day Parade is a symbol of unity, faith and discipline that reminds us the ideology to set and promote new tendencies. The parade commenced on 23 March, 1956 for the first time. This joint venture remained in practice throughout with little exception due to wars and other reasons until 2007.

Earlier, the parade used to be held at Race course Rawalpindi for quite a long time. CDA and the federal government under the Public Sector Development Program shifted the parade venue near shakarparian in 2007, it was a project worth of Rs 635 million. The progress was halted due to lack of funds and eventually was stopped.

According to sources the contract for establishing the Parade Ground was with Frontier Works Organization (FWO). At the time when the work was stopped the CDA had to pay Rs170 million to the FWO. He said that the authority had cleared all the outstanding dues after which the FWO would resume the stalled work. Still the authority has to pay Rs248 million to the FWO.

When contacted CDA’s spokesman Ramzan Sajid confirmed that the Parade Ground was likely to be completed in next few days. He said “Our job is to complete the ground for Parade before the Independence Day while it is for the armed forces to make arrangements for traditional Parade.”

The Parade scheduled in 2008 was abandoned due to security issues and funds constraints. This remained a restraint for the one reason or the other until this year when a decision arrived to resume the parade on 23 March 2015.

The event is witnessed by the families of serving and retired soldiers as well as the civilians. It is also live telecast on television channels. Although there is still about a month to the Parade but the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) started practicing of fly past. Since this practice is visible for the residents living in Islamabad therefore they take keen interest in the flying show.

700 B PKR is the defence budget. Army gets the largest share at about 45%, followed by airforce at 35% and navy at 20%. This does not include capital investment.

700 Billion is only Army budget not Defence budget. Defence budget is more then 1 trillion, I read online.

Basically, my question is that in Army Rs 700 billion, what army manages with this money? Only salaries, pensions, accommodation etc or do they prepare and maintain their equipment and weapons in it?
