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.

Justice for Tabrez Ansari- trend viral on social Media

"تبریز انصاری", بھارت کے علاقے پونے کا رہنے والا ایک نوجوان جس کی تین ماہ پہلے شادی ہوئی تھی. چھٹیاں منانے گھر آیا تھا.  کسی کام سے گاؤں سے باہر گیا جہاں ہندو بلوائیوں نے روک کر نام پوچھا اور چوری کے الزام میں پکڑ لیا.  کھمبے سے باندھ کر آٹھ گھنٹے تک مسلسل مارتے رہے اور ہندوانہ نعرے لگواتے رہے. اس دوران پولیس بھی وہاں پہنچ گئی لیکن خاموش تماشائی بنی رہی. آٹھ گھنٹے تک مارنے کے بعد پولیس نے شدید زخمی حالت میں پکڑ کر جیل میں ڈال دیا اور بنا کسی علاج اور مرہم پٹی کے چار دن تک اسے جیل میں بند رکھا.  یہاں تک کہ تبریز کے اہلِ خانہ تھانے پہنچے اور اسے لے کر ہسپتال میں داخل کروایا.  ہسپتال میں ظلم یہ ہوا کہ ڈاکٹر نے ایک زندہ انسان کو مردہ قرار دے دیا.  جب گھر والوں کو پتا چلا کہ زندہ ہے تو انہوں نے پولیس سے بڑے ہسپتال میں لے جانے کی درخواست کی. لیکن یہاں بھی پولیس نے جان بوجھ کر تاخیر کی. پہلے تو بڑے ہسپتال منتقل کرنے کی اجازت نہیں دی اور جب اجازت دی تو دیر سے ہسپتال لے کر پہنچے جس کی وجہ سے تبریز راستے میں ہی اپنے خالقِ حقیقی سے جا ملے.  ا...
