Featured PM chaired high level meeting with Services Chiefs and DG ISI - 2020

[maverick1977]

And if you notice AVM Haseeb Paracha is the only one with a laptop which seems like he is giving some presentation of sorts..!

hmm, plans for some upcoming attack ? or response to an attack from india for next time ?

Maybe response to a potential attack by India. PAF may have observed some IAF movement or there may be other intel and they are anticipating something. In the first picture, the guy on the right also has a map in his briefing documents, which if you twist and look closely, to me seems like lower sindh/karachi area but i could be wrong.

Ok people this is big because if you look carefully the guy who planned 27th February reply to India is also sitting not just Air Chief

So this meeting is usually not in this format. Obviously given what else is going in and around Pakistan this is needed.

The fact that both DCAS(O) AM Haseeb Paracha and DGMO Maj Gen Nauman Zakria are also in the meeting suggests the leadership of the country is being given a detailed briefing on all that is going on. Just saw Zarvan's post and that too was my first observation after seeing the photo.

Having these meetings regularly is a good thing for the country.

No need, answer them in same style but not in Kashmir but in India.

If there is any blood shed in Pakistan (regardless whether its civilian or military) in any Indian incursion, this time around the gloves will come off. There will be significant casualties on the Indian side and they may not be ready for this and as a result, the chances of a major escalation are even higher than before.

I have not seen the following shared on this forum, but it is one of the best analysis of what went on Feb. 2019 and we can glean insights on what the future Pakistani response/behavior will look like. Pay attention to the points about the calmness and professionalism (and there is respect for the other side as well but even more confidence in our own capabilities) with which the Pakistani response was executed.

The gentleman on the right has ALL the maps all the time as he holds the single most important office besides that of the CGS in the Army! ;-)

that is a costly oversight lot of eyes around.

@PanzerKiel @airomerix
this one is sure ....they are getting ready

Its not an oversight.

The message being sent across is....
-Coord between civil and military hierarchy
-Keeping the seating plan in view, The guys on the left (PAF and ISI) are basically in the dock...they are the presenters giving all input etc to the guys sitting on the right and PM of course.
-DG MO is not the presenter since he is sitting on the right, that too with the Air Chief, which may look odd, but its not, since he is not presenting.

Message... obviously a close watch and monitoring is being done over whatever is happening somewhere. Inputs, since they are coming from PAF and ISI, so probably they are and will be probably the first responders as well. One is for covert response (ISI), the other is overt one (PAF).

Second tier response may come from our army, since the pic shows DG MO opening his ready reckoner, showing an un-identified map. Man incharge of army ops opening his own map signifies that he also has something to say, to add, to suggest...may be independently or in consonance with the ISI and PAF.

meray do aanay.

RSS may not see but hierarchy on the right side of table is actually presenting the observations and so the readiness (Ops be it covert or Overt) and then DGMO added points of interests while all the chiefs and CJCSC are there to confirm their coordination and plannings. DG ISI & AM; aren't their to talk. Re: 27th Feb when we had ground information with accuracy.

 

[KAKhan]

My hunch is that this time they want to get the Indian navy humiliated. They have already tried the army in 2016 surgical strike, the airforce in 2019 and now its only their Navy left where they probably still have some confidence left, that they can come up on top (without the need for Rafale like equipment).

Pakistan Navy also seemed to be getting some focus recently (COAS visit to Naval War college), so who knows.

But the question is if India deploys an aircraft carrier far offshore and conducts a failed air strike like Balakot, what will be PAF's "proportionate" response? Are we again going to lob a couple of stand-off weapons close to the ship to show our intent or actually hit it (which would escalate the things)? In any case it would be much more difficult compared to firing standoff weapons across LOC, staying on our own side, with target distances < ~50KM. The Navy on the other hand would need time to mobilize for response, as it takes time for a ship/submarine to reach a sector (days i assume), as compared to fighter aircraft.

Major policy shift decision by Pakistan is to stand with China in the confrontation against America and his pet Dog India openly.

this type of highly confidential sensitive info shouldn't be caught in camera eyes.

That would be the wrong policy step. You never lay all your cards on the table. Pakistan's interest is in having solid relations with China and amicable/workable relations with the United States (solid relations are not a possibility as our interests diverge in some areas).

Middle of the road relations with the two pre-eminent world powers are a compulsion for us. Pakistan cannot afford to make Americans antagonistic towards the country. That would be playing into the hands of America's regional proxy i.e. India.
