Russia to supply radar for protecting nuclear power plant in Pakistan

I believe this is actually a basic civilian radar that's being (wrongly) hyped up into more than what it actually is...

Why would a NPP need a civilian (weather, ATC) radar? The facility is already under the general AD radar umbrella operated by Army and Air Force. How can you hype up a civilian radar system?

ridiculous. Agreement signed with some private company? Nothing but a MOU or agency agreement.

he RTI announcement hints at protecting “also some other installations of Pakistan’s critically important infrastructure” without specifying any details. This suggests the announcement is only the tip of an iceberg.

The Kremlin intended the radar deal to convey to New Delhi that the US may put pressure on Islamabad to change its ways, but Pakistan has options which can neutralise India if diplomatic and security frameworks in South Asia that are decades old were rearranged or disrupted.

Russia is already in talks for energy cooperation with Pakistan. The vagueness about such cooperation and the deliberate low-key nature of these talks have led to speculation that Russia reserves the option to offer Pakistan a nuclear deal which the Americans have so far withheld from Islamabad. When foreign secretary Vijay Gokhale visited Moscow in the last week of August, the radar deal with Pakistan was withheld from him because the Russians wanted the formal announcement a few days later to set the cat among New Delhi’s pigeons.

Putin’s chess moves, which have taken forward the S-400 missile deal in the face of strident American objections, are tactical and make little difference to the substance of Indo-Russian ties.

What is different is that strategically, the Russians now see Pakistan as a partner in fighting terrorism and have moved away from Indian prescriptions in this regard which they once shared, whatever lip service they may pay in any joint statement, if at all.

“We have confirmed Russia’s readiness to continue boosting Pakistan’s counterterrorism capacity, which is in the entire region’s interests,” foreign minister Sergei Lavrov said recently after bilateral meetings.
