The Straits Times of Singapore reports:

Pakistan strikes $4 billion deal to sell weapons to Libyan force, officials say
https://www.straitstimes.com/asia/pakis ... -headlines
Pakistan has reached a deal worth over $4 billion to sell military equipment to the Libyan National Army, four Pakistani officials said, despite a U.N. arms embargo on the fractured North African country.

The officials, all involved in defence matters, declined to be identified because of the sensitivity of the deal.
A copy of the deal before it was finalised that was seen by Reuters listed the purchase of 16 JF-17 fighter jets, a multi-role combat aircraft that has been jointly developed by Pakistan and China, and 12 Super Mushak trainer aircraft, used for basic pilot training.
Libya has been subject to a U.N. arms embargo since 2011, requiring approval from the U.N. for transfers of weapons and related material.

It was not immediately clear whether Pakistan or Libya had applied for any exemptions to the U.N. embargo.
Three of the Pakistani officials said the deal had not broken any U.N. weapons embargo.

One of the officials said Pakistan is not the only one to make deals with Libya; another said there are no sanctions on Haftar; and a third said Benghazi authorities are witnessing better relations with Western governments, given rising fuel exports.
Pakistan has been seeking to expand defence exports, drawing on decades of counterinsurgency experience and a domestic defence industry that spans aircraft production and overhaul, armoured vehicles, munitions and naval construction.

Islamabad has cited its Air Force's performance in clashes with India in May.

"Our recent war with India demonstrated our advanced capabilities to the world," military chief Munir said in remarks broadcast by Al-Hadath {Libyan National Army's media channel} on Sunday.

Yawn:
The Pakistan Digital Census 2023 shows women make up 49 per cent of Peshawar’s 4.7m population, around 2.3m residents. Yet traffic police data for 2025 indicates only 1,931 women hold driving licences in the city.

They haven't be able to deliver to azeris and are giving them bandars from their own airforce leaving barely a squadron of the newer bandars . How are they going to supply the Libyans. It's confirmed that not one frame came out of pac kamra . Most likely prc is supplying them directly through the porkies as they perhaps don't wanna be seen doing it.

Anyone remember Gen Marc Kimmit from the 2000s afghan war days ?


These days he seems to be pimping for the porkies . He wrote this very tangential article to give porkies some gora soundbites in the low ring Washington times .

It's a drivel of an article in Washington times which is typically regarded as a conspiracy tabloid and one of bottom of the pole rag tags .

I kind of wonder where this fits . Is it cash for writing the article to give porkies the sound bite or is it sanctioned by deep state . It doesn't have a serious audience that's for sure else it would have been in more mainstream places like wapo.

His dad runs a lobbying firm and he himself had started a "consultancy firm ".

Kimmit recently appeared on a Piers Morgan show that had a lot of content about US-India relations (it was after Modi, Xi, and Putin had that very visible meeting at the SCO summit following the announcement of 50% tariffs on India by Resident Chump).

Kimmit was carrying water for the Pakis all the way. He is pimping in exchange for money, no question (many other retired CENTCOM jarnails seem to be on the take as well, including that Kurilla guy to whom the Pakis gave some tin-pot medal).

The Indian POV was communicated-- surprisingly, quite well-- by Barkha Dutt. Worth a watch.

Forget about arms, the biggest crisis is the dual IWT water and now Taliban blocking kunar river (known as chitral river) to the Pukes. Following the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack, which claimed 26 lives, India has officially placed the 1960 Indus Waters Treaty (IWT) in abeyance. The Taliban-led government in Afghanistan has approved a major project to divert water from the Kunar River toward the Darunta Dam in Nangarhar.

The Kunar River, known as the Chitral River in Pakistan, provides nearly 17 million acre-feet of water annually to Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. This is the "double squeeze" on Pakistan's water infrastructure.

EDITED

Actually the plane crash happened of the rival faction of those who signed the bandarr deal . The deceased belong to the internationally recognized Libyans government that is recognized by the UN . Turks tend to support that faction .

They don't have control of the eastern/southern portion of the country which is where the jernails who supposedly purchased the bandarr reside .

The dude who failed marshall signed deal is a dude by the name of khalifa haftar who also happens to be a US citizen . He controls east Libya .

Apologies for incorrect context in prior post , I wasn't up-to-date on my knowledge of Libya .

Asim Munir Marries Daughter to Nephew in Rawalpindi, Exposing Pakistan’s Military Dominance
Pakistan Army chief Asim Munir’s decision to marry his daughter to his nephew in a tightly controlled Rawalpindi wedding is being seen as a deliberate signal of military dominance, clan-based consolidation, and the continued sidelining of civilian authority in Pakistan.

Pakistan Army chief Asim Munir has once again underlined where real authority in the country rests. This time, the signal came from a strictly regulated family wedding that subtly revealed Pakistan's power structure.

Munir recently wed his daughter, Mahnoor, to Captain Abdul Rahman, his brother Qasim Munir's nephew. In security circles, there has been a quiet assumption that Pakistan's top military leadership is actively strengthening bloodline-based trust as a means of consolidating control due to the marriage, which was kept within the immediate family.

The wedding was purposefully kept out of the public eye and took place in Rawalpindi on December 26. Although the event was characterized as private and no official photos were made public, the plans and attendance seemed to indicate otherwise.

Rawalpindi Sends the Message
Before entering the public services, Abdul Rahman was a captain in the Pakistan Army. As an example of how military power in Pakistan frequently persists after active service, he currently serves as an assistant commissioner under the quota set out for military officers.
Instead of being held in a hotel or other public location, the festivities were held inside Munir's home close to General Headquarters. The scene confirmed the long-held belief that Pakistan's real center of power is still the military zone in Rawalpindi rather than civilian establishments.

Despite being called an intimate affair, the guest list was striking. Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Shehbaz Sharif, Asif Ali Zardari, Ishaq Dar, the head of Inter-Services Intelligence, and a number of top generals were among those in attendance. The optics were obvious for a nation that maintains that civilians run its government.

Signals at Home and Abroad
According to Indian intelligence assessments, it was a conscious decision to hold all functions in areas under military control. It is being interpreted as an attempt by GHQ to formalize clan-based networks at the top of the army, particularly at a time when Pakistan is dealing with mounting criticism of military overreach, economic hardship, and internal dissension.
The presence of political figures with the ISI chief is interpreted as confirmation that Rawalpindi continues to be the hub for decision-making, avoiding parliament. This is considered by Indian agencies as a sign to domestic rivals that the political elite is still firmly under the army chief's influence.

The signal was further enhanced by inviting the president of the United Arab Emirates as the principal guest. It is seen as Munir's attempt to show that the Gulf still supports Pakistan's military government in spite of the nation's instability. The outreach is seen as a sign to Abu Dhabi that the army's hold on power is unwavering despite Pakistan's political unrest and economic difficulties.

Munir is reinforcing a stellar example.

I would love to study Pakistani performance on various psychological assessments. This is a type of genocide. A subversion at the DNA level. Can India do that?

Viral borne DNA weapons that affect cognition are years away, yet Pakistan is being so helpful to India.

Vayutuvan ji,

this contrived meeting was an ambush that was orchestrated by the pakis and executed by the beedis.

Dr SJS, as usual, smiled and shook hands, as it was the civil thing to do, and thereafter went about minding his business of doing his thing with the condolence book.

The pakis and the beedis gained zilch out of what they hopefully expected would be a grand PR exercise and a diplomatic rapprochement. trumpwa already had his script ready but in the end it all came to naught

The beedis also tried rather desperately to arrange a "side meeting" with youanus who was very keen that such a meeting takes place but the Indian side rebuffed all such attempts

Total time on beedi soil for Dr SJS + the Indian delegation was about 4 hours, give or take

Modi ji communicated directly with zia's son (Dr SJS carried a personal letter from Modi ji for zia's son and that was handed over directly to him by Dr SJS) and India did not mention youanus at all

the pakis and the beedis forgot/didn't know that there is a difference between checkers and 3D chess

g@*d fate aur nawabi ghate





BTW, this is the paki sharia version of the brief meeting by the National Assembly @NAofPakistan

During Speaker NA Sardar Ayaz Sadiq's visit to the Parliament of Bangladesh to inscribe remarks in the condolence book placed for the Late Begum Khaleda ZIa, in the presence of foreign ministers and delegates of different countries, the Indian External Minister Dr. S. Jaishankar approached the Speaker National Assembly and shaked hands.

During this interaction, Dr. S. Jaishankar introduced himself to the Speaker and told the Speaker that he had recognized him.

This interaction marked the first significant high-level contact initiated by the Indian side following the Pakistan-India conflict in May 2025.


It is noteworthy that Pakistan has consistently emphasized dialogue, restraint, and cooperative measures, including proposals for peace talks and joint investigations into the alleged False Flag Pahalgam incident, in order to prevent unprovoked aggression and escalation.

The notorious bulletproof glass of the failed marshall

darr achha hai .. hona bhi chahiye :mrgreen:

even sitting must be painful, especially since the gluteus maximus was tampered with some time ago by a vengeful beebi

BP glass and BPJ seems like a bit of an overkill.

No petis of mangoes on his delivery list either
