The Pakistan Navy has become the first maritime force in the region that is equipped with stealth technology after its first Fast Attack Craft (FAC) equipped with missiles was launched on Tuesday. India also launched its FAC on the same day in Kochi.

“The version Pakistan has bought has far better qualities and added features including cost efficiency and multi-role in any combat activity,” said an insider. “The inclusion of the FAC-M in Pakistan navy will enhance its capacity to fight against terrorism and extremism.”

According to the Pakistan Navy, the FAC-M, designated as PNS Azmat was launched at Tianjin (Xingang Chinese Shipyard) in an impressive ceremony where Pakistan’s Chief of Naval Staff (CNS) Admiral Noman Bashir was the chief guest. The vessel will be the first of the Azmat class FAC, scheduled to be delivered to the Pakistan Navy within six months.

The missile craft construction project represents a quantum leap, not only in defence production in the maritime sector of Pakistan, but also addresses a long-standing operational requirement of the Navy. The fast attack craft is equipped with advanced weaponry and sensors, including the C802A surface-to-surface missile, and has stealth features. The FAC in question has a crew of 12 to 14 sailors, less than half that of similar craft. At a unit cost of an estimated $50 million each, a Navy with limited resources could afford both the financial and manpower commitment.

Admiral Noman Bashir, who has brought several innovations in Pakistan, addressed the ceremony marking the launching of FAC-M.

پاکستان کو پانی کے لئے بھارت پر ایٹمی حملہ کرنا پڑے گا؟

آئیے آپ کو بتاتے ہیں کہ بھارت پاکستان کے ساتھ کس طرح جنگ چھیڑ چکا ہے اور اس جنگ میں بھارت کو مسلسل کامیابی مل رہی ہے جب کہ پاکستان کی عوام اور اس کے حکمران گھوڑے بیچ کر سو رہے ہیں۔ اور اس غلط فہمی میں چپ سادھ رکھی ہے کہ کونسا بھارت نے پاکستانکے خلاف میدان جنگ اپنی فوج اتار دی ہے۔ توقع کے عین مطابق عالمی بینک نے کشن گنگا ڈیم کی تعمیر پر پاکستان کی شکایات اور شواہد کو ناکافی قرار دے کر مسترد کر دیا ہے۔ یہ پاکستان کی بھارت سے سفارتی محاذ پر ایک بڑی شکست ہے۔ کشن گنگا ڈیم کی تعمیر 2009 میں شروع ہوئی جب پیپلز پارٹی کی حکومت تھی اور ن لیگ مضبوط اپوزیشن تھی۔2011 کے بعد دو سال تک یہ کیس عالمی عدالت میں چلتا رہا لیکن بالآخر عالمی ثالثی عدالت نے نہ صرف پاکستان کے اعتراضات مسترد کر دیے بلکہ بھارت کو پانی کا رخ موڑنے کی اجازت دے دی۔ یاد رہے کہ یہ وہ دور تھا جب بھارت کو پسندیدہ ترین ملک قرار دیا جارہا تھا اور خارجہ امور کا قلمدان بھی وزیر اعظم میاں نواز شریف کے پاس تھا۔ بھارت نوازی کی داستان صرف یہیں ختم نہیں ہوئی بلکہ دریائے سندھ پر تحقیق سے پتہ چلا کہ انڈیا نے ڈیم بنا کر دریائے سندھ کا سا...

Pakistan warned the United States

Pakistan warned the United States it risks losing an ally if it continued to accuse Islamabad of playing a double game in the war against militancy, escalating the crisis in relations between the two countries. Foreign Minister Hina Rabbani Khar was responding to comments by U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff Admiral Mike Mullen, who said Pakistan's top spy agency supported attacks on the U.S. Embassy and other targets by the Haqqani network, the most violent and effective faction among Islamic Taliban militants in Afghanistan.   It is the most serious allegation leveled by the United States against nuclear-armed and Muslim-majority Pakistan since they began an alliance in the "war on terrorism" a decade ago.  Pakistan is the first Muslim Country in the world to construct and operate civil nuclear power plants.

How US dollar will decrease?

A dollar collapse is when the value of the US dollar plummets.  Anyone who holds dollar-denominated assets will sell them at any cost. That includes foreign governments who own US Treasury . It also affects foreign exchange futures  traders. Last but not least are individual investors. When the crash occurs, these parties will demand assets denominated in anything other than dollars. The collapse of the dollar means that everyone is trying to sell their dollar-denominated assets, and no one wants to buy them. This will drive the value of the dollar down  to near zero.
