Burraq success story

Domestically developed Pakistani UCAV system Burraq was used for first time in Operation Zarb-e-Azb against TTP terrorist near about Pakistan-Afghanistan border. This combat uses "Burq" missile which is also developed simultaneously for use in the "Burraq" system.

Last Sunday Pakistan Armed Forces launched an intelligence based drone attack on abominable terrorist organization TTP which is now pocketed at Shawal Valley near the Afghan border. 3 terrorists killed in the attack and it was a "pinpoint accurate" strike. By this successful attack Pakistan joined the elite club Combat Drone Manufacturers & Users countries.

Capabilities like this attack, Pakistan could be able to retreat against any terror acts on it's soil which are originated from Afghan territory.

Pakistan Army likely increasing its Mi-35 orders up to 12 Choppers.

The contract on the delivery of four Russian Mi-35 helicopters to Pakistan could be expanded, head of the Russian Foreign Ministry's Second Asia Department Zamir Kabulov said Tuesday.

"It all depends on money. Pakistan has stated that it has the financial means for 10-12 helicopters of this type, but negotiations are ongoing," Kabulov told RIA Novosti.

Moscow and Islamabad are discussing possible supplies of Russian defensive weapons to Pakistan, Kabulov added.

"Pakistan has an interest in other Russian weapon systems. Negotiations are underway. We are talking about defensive systems," Kabulov told RIA Novosti.

In March, Pakistani President Mamnoon Hussain announced Islamabad's intention to expand military-technical commerce with Russia with the purchase of Mi-35 gunships.

In August, a contract for four Mi-35M transport and attack helicopters was signed by Russia's state arms exporter Rosoboronexport and Pakistan's Ministry of Defense, according to a spokesperson for the Russian Embassy in Islamabad.

The Mi-35M (NATO Designation Hind-E) is an upgraded export version of the Mi-24V multipurpose assault helicopter, developed by the Mil Moscow Helicopter Plant.

"Burraq" has been successfully deployed to eliminate terrorists in Shawal Valley, Pakistan

Pakistan has successfully deployed its domestically developed unmanned combat aerial vehicle equipped with a laser-guided missile in the country's northwestern tribal region near the border with Afghanistan, killing three militants in the process.

Pakistani military spokesman Major General Asim Bajwa wrote on its Twitter account on Monday that the drone, named Burraq (flying horse), “hit a terrorist compound in Shawal Valley, killing 3 high-profile terrorists.”

The Shawal Valley, which lies in the embattled North Waziristan region, has witnessed fierce skirmishes between Pakistani forces and pro-Taliban militants ever since army units mounted the full scale offensive Zarb-e Azb, or "The Strike of The Prophet's Sword," there in June 2014.

On March 13, The Pakistani army said the Burraq drone successfully hit stationary and moving targets with its Barq (lightning) laser-guided missile with “impressive pinpoint accuracy.”

The advanced combat drone deployment comes as the United States has been carrying out controversial assassination drone strikes in Pakistan’s mountainous northwestern tribal region since 2004. 

According to the Bureau of Investigative Journalism, the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) has carried out 420 drone strikes in Pakistan since 2004, frequently prompting outcry from the government and civil groups.

Islamabad has repeatedly condemned the attacks as a violation of its sovereignty and territorial integrity, but the raids continue unabated.

The United Nations and several human rights organizations have identified the US as the world's number one user of "targeted killings," largely due to its drone attacks in Pakistan and neighboring Afghanistan.

With Burraq, Pakistan joins the club of countries with armed drones, helping it in its campaign against al-Qaeda, Taliban and other militants along its lawless northwestern border with Afghanistan.

In November 2013, the Pakistani military announced that it had developed an unarmed drone to be used only for surveillance purposes. The military officials said they have no plans to arm the craft.

Who Says These Are Human!?

Pakistan Army should intervene inside Afghanistan to kill all those terrorists.

Blood of angels.

This is they do, pray to Almighty.

Hand Over Fazlullah: Army Chief Set To Tell Kabul

General Raheel is traveling to the Afghan capital after security agencies found evidence that the Peshawar attack, which killed 141 people, including 132 children, was planned inside Afghanistan by the Mullah Fazlullah group. 

ISLAMABAD: Army chief General Raheel Sharif rushed to Kabul on Wednesday to deliver a warning to Afghan authorities to take decisive action against sanctuaries of the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) or else Pakistan would go for ‘hot pursuit.’

The army chief is accompanied by DG ISI and will meet his Afghan counterpart and Afghan President Ashraf Ghani, as well as the ISAF commander to present evidence of the Peshawar massacre’s linkage with TTP sanctuaries in Kunar and Nuristan province.

DG ISPR Asim Bajwa tweeting details of the visit said the army chief will return to Peshawar after his visit to Kabul.

A security source told The Express Tribune that Pakistan would want immediate action against TTP hideouts.

“If Afghan authorities fail to act this time, we will explore all options, including hot pursuit,” cautioned the source.

Another official, however, hoped that unlike the Karzai administration, the current government in Afghanistan would stop supporting anti-Pakistan elements.

The official disclosed that General Raheel, during his talks in Kabul today, would seek the extradition of Mullah Fazlluah, whose group claimed responsibility of the dastardly attack on Tuesday.

Airstrikes kill 35 suspected militants in North Waziristan - Dawn Reports

Thirty-five suspected militants were killed in aerial strikes by fighter jets in the North Waziristan tribal region, the military said on Wednesday. The claims, however, could not be independently verified as journalists have limited access to the restive tribal agency.

A statement from the Inter-Services Public Relations said “three terrorist hideouts were destroyed in precision strikes in the northwest of Dattakhel early on Wednesday”. Dattakhel is considered a stronghold for terrorists and a targeted clearance operation is under way in the area. More airstrikes may be carried out in and around Dattakhel which has also been a scene of numerous drone strikes in the past.

The latest statement from the army comes as military operation Zarb-i-Azb is completing its third month. The operation was launched by the Pakistan Army on June 15 following a brazen militant attack on the Jinnah International Airport and failure of peace talks between the government and Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) negotiators.

The Taliban and their ethnic Uzbek allies both claimed responsibility for the attack on the airport which was seen as a strategic turning point in how Pakistan tackles the insurgency. Nearly a million people have fled the offensive in North Waziristan and taken shelter at camps for the displaced.

Attack on Quetta Airbases

So deep-rooted is the terrorist threat in our country that no one single action can demolish it. This was underscored by the attack that was carried out between the nights of August 14-15 on two airbases in Quetta by militants, armed with rockets, grenades and suicide vests. Rockets were fired at the Samungli and Khalid airbases, located within 12 kilometres of each other, as the militants, in what was quite evidently a carefully devised plan, fired rockets into them. Seven militants were killed, while seven security personnel were injured during the nine hours of fighting, led by the Anti-terrorism Force, to protect the bases. Quetta airport was also shut down. The attack, of course, follows a pattern we have seen before as other military installations and airports have come under attack by Taliban militants. 

 

COAS praises security forces for averting Quetta attack

While the security forces did well to prevent any actual penetration of the bases, the audacity and scale of the attack reminds us that the militants remain active and quite capable of striking, despite Operation Zarb-e-Azb. The military action in North Waziristan is obviously extremely significant, but on its own, it will not be enough to hold off the militants. We need to add more prongs to our strategy and use these collectively. This is especially true given that we face now a range of militant groups, who may — or may not — be operating under a single umbrella. In Balochistan, action against military targets inevitably leads to suspicions regarding the role of separtist groups. In the past, analysts have also warned of the danger of a nexus between them and Taliban-affiliated groups. The complexities of militancy in our country are many. The latest acts of violence in Quetta shows we are still a long way off from overcoming this menace. We need to think harder about how this can be achieved. Right now, terrorists have shown that they can strike in many places. Yes, security at key places has been tightened, but it is also imperative that militant outfits be defeated, so that our lives can return to something resembling normalcy without the sense of constant fear we currently confront.
