Under the guise of defense agreements signed with Saudi and Turkey, Pakistan is increasing its stockpile of weapons. In about 60 hours between August 19 and 21, dozens of Turkish military aircraft landed and took off at different airbases in Pakistan. These included C-130 military transport aircraft and A400M jumbo military aircraft. There was continuous movement of Turkish C-130 military aircraft at Noorkhan in Rawalpindi and Masroor airbase in Karachi. At the same time, Turkey’s A400M aircraft also reached Murid airbase. It was identified by the call-sign TUAF 526. Through these planes, Turkey delivered a large consignment of drones to Pakistan. The drones were supplied in the dark of night, so that the activities could be hidden from satellite tracking. The consignment of drones arrived from Turkey has been kept in military storage facilities in Bahawalpur and Rawalpindi. Pakistan also received AI-guided Kemanke cruise missile. Along with drones, Pakistan has also received air-defense systems and modern weapons from Turkey. These include the HQ series or similar air-defense/SAM systems. Bayraktar TB2 Drone: One of the most popular armed drones in the world. Russia is using it against Ukraine. Akinci Drone: High-end combat drone carrying heavy payload. It can carry explosive payload at a distance of up to 250 km. Kemanke Cruise Missile: It is an AI-guided missile, which has the ability to find targets on its own. Its range is said to be 200+ km and it can also be launched from a drone. F-16 Upgrade Kit: Integration kit has also been received from Turkey for Pakistan’s fleet of old F-16 fighter aircraft. Munir persuaded Erdogan to give him the drone. During the defense agreement in Mecca, Pakistan Army Chief Asim Munir had asked Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan to give him the drone. Munir had told that Pakistan’s air defense system had suffered a lot during ‘Operation Vermillion’. Pakistan had received a sufficient number of J-series fighter planes from China, but during this time a large part of its drones had been destroyed. Munir in preparation for a major operation in Balochistan Munir, surrounded by rebels in Balochistan, is now preparing to launch a major military operation. Army contingents are being sent for this. This action can start in the next 48 hours. Even after starting ‘Operation Shaban’ in July, the hold of Pakistani Army in Balochistan has weakened. More than 25 army check posts have been vacated and many places are occupied by Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) fighters. The Pakistani Army is also facing continuous challenges in the areas of Balochistan bordering Iran. 3 additional companies deployed at Rawalpindi GHQ Due to fear of attack by Baloch rebels, 3 additional companies have been deployed at the Pakistan Army Headquarters in Rawalpindi. The Shahbaz government on Saturday declared Rawalpindi’s GHQ as a sensitive zone for the next 6 months. ———————- Also read this news… Pakistan puts journalist in terrorist list: Action without trial against Danish Irshad, who covered PoK protests, bank account seized, travel banned.
