#BREAKING Pakistan to become sixth nation to put a satellite around the Moon this year.

A Pakistani engineering and STEM university, and my own alma mater, the Institute of Space Technology (IST) in Islamabad has completed the design, development and construction of a compact deep-space-capable remote sensing satellite for multi-special high-resolution lunar imaging from moon orbit.

The SUPARCO mission to the Moon’s objective is to detect, locate and index traces of water ice on the lunar surface. Pakistan is proud to play its part in the human endeavour for exploration into deep space as the next frontier for humanity.Image
The Pakistani satellite will be the SUPARCO 🇵🇰 contribution to Pakistan’s partnership with China with the CNSA 🇨🇳 Chang’e VI lunar lander mission to the Moon’s far side in May-June 2024. Image
The Cubesat, named ICUBE-Q 🇵🇰 will have its own power generation system, multiple cameras and a stage separation system to release the satellite from the primary spacecraft into a stable lunar orbit. Image

#Opinion:

After relevant results are counted by the ECP for the #Pakistan General Elections 2024 and whichever Chief Executive is then appointed to govern our Islamic Republic for the next half-decade, will have one most important policy decision to make, perhaps the first truly critical policy decision of the entire tenure.

The next Prime Minister will be responsible for either taking charge or going forward with the abandonment and dereliction of duty with regards to leading and taking political executive initiative to deal with and implement our national defence decisions.

They as Prime Minister will have this one, single-most critical policy decision to make with regards to national security: to go to war or not.

Let us explain briefly in what are, very apologetically, frank words:Image
The Pakistani gains in all domains made by our military operations (owned by the Government, led by the Army with national support, and funded from the people) of the 2000s and 2010s have been largely lost. This is has not happened now, in 2024. This happened in 2020-21.

The current situation is increasingly dire and dangerous due to the fact that the terrorist khwarij enemy is adapting to the long running Pakistani military anti-terrorist IBO policy and is now changing attack methods, developing more sophisticated tactics and growing larger in numbers. It is advancing, and preparing for a toehold to secure in Pakistan. Once they are able to establish even a settled, semi-permanent presence inside our territory with a combat potential, they will be a threat to our way of life. And we must act, now. Such a threat cannot be ignored, avoided or censured away.

The Pakistani military has two options, they can either continue the current procedures of countless IBOs that are growing more fatal by the year, so much so that in some time the terrorists will not have to even do bombings or attacks on forces, the IBOs casualty rate will be enough for them to fill their fatality quotas.

Or there is another option. War.
Or rather a large-scale military operation that would take place on both sides of the border, using ground forces on Pakistani soil and simultaneously using aerial precision strike on terrorist infrastructure on Afghanistan’s territory with taking the IEA into confidence (not in agreement with, mind you, just taking into prior confidence) while securing a commitment from the TTA not to make rash stupid mistakes at the border, in a kind of ultimatum to the Mullah party of Kandahar that we’ve already decided to take out your friends, you can go down with them or look the other way for us and you can play domestic politics to your population how you are so against this operation for a few months for all we care. Your next medical/shopping/entertainment/business visit to Islamabad is free, on us.

I understand and realise that many in our population and military are against another operation, for various reasons.

But the fact of the matter is that counterterrorism strategy is unstable, and will not give us security against this rising threat. The only option is a change in strategy. The current trend is unsustainable. There was a 500% increase in terrorist attack rates in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa in 2023 compared to 2022. In 2024, there will be another increase, and so on every year periodically until a time will come, not so far in the future, when it will be do or die. And then we may not be able to do, or at least in the way we want. On an individual level even it is just poor planning to through your own actions let your enemy grow and grow and inevitably corner you into forced options. Preemption on your own rules is always preferable. And this isn’t an individual decision, either. It’s the secure future of 250 million united citizens.

Moving on, remember that t is not necessary that every operation must be the same. It is important to note that this 2024 operation would not be like the post-2008 operations. There would be no IDPs, no daily bombings and no territorial no-go areas. This would be more surgical, more precise, more deliberate and designed to achieve the desired end-result: all anti-Pakistan terrorist assets, locations and targets eliminated including those in Afghanistan and Iran, and a cessation of the existence of the terror threat to Pakistan’s western borders and two provinces once and for all. Let’s label that the DER (desired end-result).

But, dear author, you may ask, what is the Prime Minister have to do with this? And yes, I realise many people in the country confuse the national defence portfolio and defence ministerial authority under the PM-led cabinet of Pakistan as the entitlement of the senior most officer in one service branch of the tri-service Armed Forces, but I assure you, it is not.Image
For the DER (desired end-result) to become reality, two national political changes need to occur: First, the apex security decision-maker (vague who this is as per reality, or even if it is one entity at all even, i.e. there is no top executive authority for security decision-making and is fractured into different sections of state, but that is another nightmare for another tenure) must decide to take initiative and go for a policy change rather then wait out, let it be someone else’s problem (and authority/prerogative then too, it would seem) or ignore due to laziness or react with panicked rash solutions that won’t work for the then-super-mutated problem when it blows over into a full-blown statehood crisis.

The Army needs parliamentary approval for such an operation to start.

Simple as that. Now I will not even attempt to begin to explain or state what intricate and sensitive precedents and work would have to be done for the only two courses of action that would make the Parliament convene for such an approval, either with the request coming from the uniformed military leadership or the Prime Minister.

Imagine the chances of the next prime minister deciding to go ahead with a military operation on his own and asking the military to prepare for it and then convening parliament to grant approval. Or the military leadership suggesting the past methods they had been using for so long had led to failure and they would need something from the political parties which would be inclined to hold the leverage, and all this would be done for what? National Security? Every reader can decide for themselves the chances of either of those things happening.Image

#Pakistan-#India LOC at #Kashmir:

News from the Indian military, of firing by Pakistani bunkers/posts along LOC to Indian side, is completely fake.

Indian state-controlled media is propagating baseless lies to hide continuing own failures against indigenous freedom fighters. Image
Area where Indian occupation forces are conducting the fake raid/operation is over four thousand meters from the LOC.

No question arises of Pakistani soldiers giving any sort of fire support or any kind of assistance to deter an already fake Indian false flag operation. Fake Indian military claim of Pakistani interference with their already-known false flag operation.
Again, it is ground-source confirmations that there is total calm along LoC on #Pakistan’s side.

It seems #India’s occupying state, government and military forces are desperately trying to cover up the disgrace they have faced in Anantnag, Occupied #Kashmir.
