Asim Munir Becomes Pakistan's Second Field Marshal: Echoes Of Dictator Ayub Khan
In today's episode of India Global, Pakistan Army chief General Asim Munir has been promoted to the topmost military rank of Field Marshal - an honour given only in the rarest of occasions and on achieving a stellar operations record throughout a career in the armed forces. In a surprising, strangely-amusing decision, Pakistan's Cabinet, led by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, has 'approved' a proposal to promote the army chief. The announcement comes days after a series of military escalations against India, which began with the terrorist attack in Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam. NDTV's Gaurie Dwivedi speaks with Defence Expert Lt Gen Anil Kumar Bhatt (Retd) and Former Ambassador Mahesh Sachdev to discuss this and more.

Pakistan, Troubled By Thoughts Of A Deterrent For BrahMos, Looks Beyond China
New Delhi: Ever since India's precision strikes first destroyed its terror infrastructure and later its air bases and military installations during Operation Sindoor, one question has kept Pakistan worried and puzzled at the same time - How to defend itself against India's BrahMos missile? Though India has not officially stated the use of the BrahMos during Op Sindoor, Pakistan's prime minister Shehbaz Sharif had publicly admitted to its airbases being hit by the supersonic cruise missile. LOOKING BEYOND CHINA Disappointed with the Chinese air defence systems - HQ-9 and HQ-16 - which failed to stop India's drone and missile strikes, and was totally ineffective against the BrahMos, as claimed by Pakistan itself, Islamabad is now looking beyond China to find a worthwhile solution. Pakistan is reportedly exploring a possibility of acquiring a German-made advanced air defence system which has proven to be effective in Ukraine against a Russian cruise missile similar to that of the Brahmos. GERMAN ENGINEERING Last month Ukraine claimed that the recently-inducted German air defence system - IRIS-T SLM - had successfully shot down 60 incoming missiles over the last one year. Developed by Germany's Diehl Defence, the air defence system performed well against the Russian P-800 Oniks missile, considered somewhat similar to India's BrahMos. IRIS-T SLM, which stands for Infrared Imaging System - Tail/Thrust Vector Controlled - Surface-Launched Missile, is a medium-range air defence system. First developed in 1990, the system has been upgraded several times. It includes a radar, an operation centre, and multiple launchers. According to news agency Reuters, in 2023, Germany purchased six IRIS-T air defence systems for its air force at a total cost of some 900 million euros ($971.73 million). It has a range of approximately 40 kilometres (25 miles) and a 360 degree view. INDO-GERMAN DEFENCE TIES According to a report in the Economic Times, Pakistan's plans skip Chinese air defence systems and instead purchase them from Germany, comes at a time when the company that manufactures the IRIS-T - Diehl Defence - has partnered with Thyssenkrupp Marine Systems, that is engaged in defence projects in India. Together, Diehl and Thyssenkrupp are working to supply Interactive Defence and Attack Systems or IDAS for six Indian Navy submarines being made in India under the Rs. 70,000 crore Project 75I. Moreover, as per the Economic Times, India's Reliance Defence, a subsidiary of Reliance Infrastructure, has entered into a strategic cooperation agreement with Diehl Defence. Together they will manufacture the precision-guided munition system Vulcano 155mm - and advanced, long-range artillery shell, in India. This might make it difficult for Pakistan to deal with the German firm. MISPLACED PRIORITIES? Despite its economy tanking and nearly 45 per cent of its citizens now below the poverty line and 16 per cent living in extreme poverty, Pakistan, in its annual budget today upped its defence spending significantly while lowering spending on nearly everything else. However, in the last month alone, cash-strapped Pakistan has managed to secure a billion-dollar loan from the IMF and another $800 million from the Asian Development Bank or ADB. Additionally, Pakistan's budget saw a whopping 20 per cent hike in defence spending, while the overall expenditure has been slashed by 7 per cent. Some reports suggest that Pakistan's government has scrapped development projects worth nearly 1,000 billion Pakistani Rupees.

Scramble for 40 Chinese jets inflates Pakistan's defence budget
ISLAMABAD: China's fifth-generation stealth fighter J-35A, touted as a rival to the American F-35, is at the heart of Pakistan's military ambitions as it doubles down on defence spending amid telling blows to its economy. Finance minister Muhammad Aurangzeb's announcement of a 20% hike in the country's defence budget – the outlay stands at 2.55 trillion rupees ($9 billion) – coincides with reports of advanced arms deals with China. Pakistan is said to be negotiating with China for 40 stealth fighters, with deliveries potentially starting this August. The J-35A, a twin-engine, multi-role fighter equipped with PL-17 missiles and advanced AESA radar, promises to enhance Pakistan's air superiority and strike capabilities. Pakistan Air Force has already approved the purchase, and various agencies have reported that pilots are already training in China. Beijing's rumoured offer of a 50% discount and lenient payment terms is in line with deepening China-Pakistan ties, with nearly 80% of Pakistan's arsenal now sourced from there. The acquisition of J-35A stealth fighter jets threatens to escalate tensions with India even as Pakistani diplomats criss-cross foreign shores, preaching restraint and dialogue. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với mức chênh lệch giá thấp nhất IC Markets Đăng ký Undo The Shehbaz Sharif govt's decision to prioritise defence over development has also drawn muted criticism within Pakistan's tightly controlled political space. The budget slashed overall federal expenditure by 7% to 17.57 trillion rupees ($62 billion). Pakistan was mainly dependent on Chinese-supplied weapons, including J-10C fighters and HQ-9 air defence systems, during last month's military conflict with India. The country's economic woes make this military outlay particularly contentious. It owes $15 billion to China alone, its largest bilateral creditor, and is negotiating a $6-8 billion IMF bailout to avert a total economic collapse. Servicing its $269 billion debt consumes over 1.9% of GDP, leaving little room for social welfare or infrastructure. With national security becoming the rationale to override financial prudence, the budget faced little scrutiny in parliament, reflecting the military's outsized influence on how the country is run. On the diplomatic front, Pakistan is working overtime to counter India's 'terrorism narrative'. Foreign minister Ishaq Dar has engaged Gulf states, EU and the UN to portray Pakistan as a stabilising force and India as the aggressor. These efforts include back-channel talks and leveraging the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor to secure economic lifelines from Beijing. During a recent visit to China, Dar thanked Beijing for its support during the India-Pakistan conflict, highlighting it as an 'iron-clad' relationship.
