Rawalpindi (Web Desk): Chief of Army Staff (COAS) and Chief of Defence Forces (CDF) on Thursday reaffirmed that Pakistan Armed Forces of Pakistan remain fully prepared to defend country’s sovereignty and territorial integrity against all threats.
According to the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), the army chief said this during a visit to Bahawalpur Garrison where he witnessed a high-intensity Field Exercise “Steadfast Resolve,” at Khairpur Tamewali (KPT) encompassing integration of niche technologies like unmanned aerial systems (drones), advanced surveillance assets, Electronic Warfare assets and modern command-and-control mechanisms, reflecting the Armed Forces’ focus on technology-enabled multi-domain operations.
While addressing the troops, the COAS lauded their high morale, professional competence and operational preparedness.
Field Marshal Asim Munir highlighted that Pakistan Armed Forces are undergoing major transformation in multiple domains. Character of war has evolved massively, with technological advancements driving the evolution, dictating huge mental transformation at all tiers.
“In future, technological manoeuvres will replace physical manoeuvres and will fundamentally alter the way offensive and defensive operations are undertaken. Therefore, Pakistan Armed Forces are embracing and absorbing technology at a rapid pace. In this process innovation, indigenisation and adaptation shall remain fundamental,” the army chief said.
