Pakistan: prevent terrorists and U.S. forces near the nuclear weapons depot

Nov 25

Posted by admin in Asia, Pakistan, Weapons | No Comments

Although the internal security situation is not optimistic, but the Pakistani government and military does not allow the United States intervene in the security of their nuclear arsenals that – terrorists still can not move nuclear weapons.

At present, Pakistan’s internal security situation is not optimistic about the terrorist attacks on the government’s strong straight body. From mid-October, the Pakistan Army has launched a strong military strike.

According to the latest issue of “New Yorker” magazine reported that Pakistan is highly sensitive in consultations with the United States the agreement, the agreement will allow U.S. Special personnel in crisis situations to provide for the security of Pakistan’s nuclear arsenal.

However, Pakistan’s Foreign Ministry quickly issued a statement denying the report. The statement stressed that Pakistan’s nuclear weapons is “very safe”, “do not need any foreign help.”

United States: fear of nuclear weapons falling into the hands of terrorists

November 10, Reuters reported, although Pakistan has repeatedly said the United States to protect its nuclear weapons and nuclear facilities, the ability to have confidence, but the increase in terrorist violence, ordered the security of nuclear weapons and facilities, be questioned. Moreover, Al-Jazeera in Qatar after play “base” leader Mustafa Abu Ye Yazid’s interview program, Yazid said: “… … (Pakistan) nuclear weapons do not fall into American hands. Jihad will use them against Americans. ”

This makes the U.S. more worried about the safety of Pakistani nuclear arsenal. Petraeus, commander of U.S. Central Theater put it bluntly: “I suspect that the Pakistani military nuclear facilities, the ability to defend itself.” Consequently, the U.S. calls for Pakistan’s nuclear arsenal to conduct supervision and inspection.

“Los Angeles Times” that the current nuclear arsenal to defend Pakistan by the Pakistani military’s Strategic Planning Bureau, Khalid Kidwai, General Secretary Pakistan nuclear tests since 1998, has served as the bureau after leadership. Although the Kidwai deeply the United States trust, but it is undeniable that it is in Kidwai is also under the supervision of Pakistan, “the father of nuclear weapons,” Abdul Qadeer Khan organized a large network of nuclear material smuggling. At the same time by the global financial crisis, Palestinian officials have made clear to the United States, the safety of its nuclear program faces the risk of inadequate management of the budget.

According to “The New York Times” reported that, in fact, to defend the United States has a top-secret plans Pakistan’s nuclear arsenal. The scheme began six years ago, that is, “9.11″ incident took place shortly after the visit by former U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell to Pakistan officially finalized. The United States on the project has invested a total of 100 million U.S. dollars.

The top-secret details of the scheme include: the United States training for Pakistan’s nuclear arsenal of the security personnel; helping Pakistan build a nuclear arsenal, security training center; to help Pakistan to ensure nuclear materials, nuclear warheads and laboratory safety; to Pakistan’s nuclear arsenal security agencies to provide helicopters, night vision devices, detection systems and nuclear materials detectors and other equipment with equipment.

The second phase of top-secret program to Pakistan’s nuclear arsenal, including the security forces to provide more security systems, helicopters and security facilities. However, informed sources, the United States refused to allow Pakistan to share its nuclear security of the “crown pearl” technology. In layman’s terms the technology is a launch switch. It requires a series of nuclear weapons, the user must enter the number of password, and then launch nuclear weapons, and eventually detonated. If you enter an incorrect password several times successively, then the bomb damaged a number of switches automatically. U.S. research and development of this technology’s fundamental purpose is to prevent nuclear weapons falling into the hands of terrorists or the enemy.

Pakistan: to prevent the United States close to nuclear weapons is the bottom line

In fact, the Pakistani government and military and the U.S. as a “generous” aid doubts. Many military officials believe that the U.S. would take this opportunity to gather accurate intelligence Pakistan’s nuclear arsenal, if there is a chance, it would completely control Pakistan’s nuclear arsenal. Pakistan’s nuclear experts doubt even if Pakistan’s nuclear warheads the United States where the technology is installed, then the Americans will be able to let the arbitrary failure of Pakistan’s nuclear warheads.

Pakistan’s Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Hassan al-Majid on the 10th of this month, said: “We will not in conjunction with any foreign person, entity or country to share our highly classified nuclear weapons information, and it will never allow them to access such information. Pakistan has the ability to protect their nuclear arsenals safety. “He also said that the United States know the information is only his own conjecture.

Since the 1998 nuclear tests, Pakistan has established a strong command and control systems to ensure the safety of nuclear power. The locations of nuclear weapons, Pakistani Foreign Ministry official said with a smile: “If the Americans can not find a satellite location of Pakistan’s nuclear arsenal, in the mountains, how will those who know about it?”

Pakistani officials also revealed that, as a nuclear state, Pakistan has been fulfilling the duties. In accordance with the provisions of Pakistan’s armed forces has a set of operational use of nuclear weapons control procedures, non-to a single department or officials can decide. In February 2002, Pakistan’s nuclear command and control specialist has established mechanisms, including national command structure, strategic planning offices and strategic forces. The official stressed that such anti-error mechanism is very effective. In addition, the Pakistani army against the nuclear arsenals to take a very strict security measures. Without special permission, the general staff is difficult to close its nuclear arsenal.

According to foreign media reports, over the years, Pakistan to ensure the safety of nuclear weapons, but also used parts scattered distribution approach. For example, the fissile core of nuclear weapons kept separate from non-nuclear explosive devices, nuclear warheads separated from delivery vehicles and deployment. In this way, even if the individual parts “misfortune” is difficult to cause adverse effects.

According to “Pakistan’s Defense” website reported that Pakistan Air Force’s nuclear strike force is normally distributed configuration. For example, nuclear weapons and loaded planes F-16 fighter jets and Mirage 2000-5 aircraft is kept separately. In the conventional forces during the war, Pakistan, nuclear weapons components from the rear base for the forward delivery, and assembly.

Pakistan, the United States such intent very seriously, because nuclear weapons are a powerful symbol of Palestinian state. Both worried that the U.S. found that the nuclear target and to carry out surgical bombing, but also worried that the U.S. special forces forcibly took over after finding the target, but also worried that the U.S. send technical personnel “co-control”, spying on Pakistan’s nuclear secrets. In short, almost any pretext to prevent the U.S. nuclear arsenal is the Pakistani government’s bottom line.

Nov 11

Posted by admin in China, Observers, Weapons | No Comments

Visit F-10 fighter planesPakistan Air Force Chief of Staff of Sulaiman a recent interview with the media revealed that China has promised to sell F -10 fighter jets to Pakistan, has now entered the bargaining stage, will soon come to fruition. At the same time, many Southeast Asian countries have also demonstrated a J -10 interest, hoping to examine the performance of the decision was made after the introduction.

Suleiman praised the performance of the J–10 that it was the best performance among the three generations of machines, but with the Taihang engine, turned out to J -10’s exports will no longer be controlled by Russia, which also makes Pakistan Government has decided to purchase 36 F -10 fighter.

The only problem is that China and Pakistan is reached at a meeting prior to an oral agreement, the Chinese Government has agreed only to provide Pakistan with F -10 fighter, the transaction completion date is only a matter of time will soon come to fruition. Pakistani Embassy officials said the sale of the initiative in the hands of the Chinese side, if China has also sold to other countries, J -10, it is not Pakistan can only control.

Of course, China’s export destination J -10 is not confined to Pakistan. To participate in the Chinese Air Force 60th anniversary celebration of the Southeast Asian countries, representatives from the military in close contact with this China’s most advanced light fighter plane and then, have expressed their views on the J–10.

Philippine Air Forces Command commander Lieutenant General Oscar said he hoped the Chinese air force weapons and to help countries in the region used in international assistance, humanitarian and use of space, on which J -10 exports will help enhance the Air Force strength of neighboring Asian countries. Myanmar Air Force Commander Lieutenant-General also said that right to enjoy wonderful J -10 are interested in, but it must look at their specific performance and affordability of Myanmar further consideration.

In fact, the recent strength of the Philippine Air Force has hovered at a very low level, in 1997, South Korea donated to the Philippine Air Force 5 F-5A jet fighter. This aircraft represents the Philippines, 5 the only air defense capability. Although the Philippine military’s weapons and equipment has always been dominated by US-made, but the former Philippine Air Force Commander Lieutenant General Figure Tarantino once said: “We have aircraft to openly engage in competitive bidding for the arms purchase is a long complex process, requires all parties to the audit, so We can not be seen as the delegation’s visit is to buy Chinese aircraft. Of course, using Chinese-made fighter was not impossible. “However, in view of the South China Sea between China and the Philippines on the issue of barriers to the Philippines operational F -10 sex is not strong.

On the contrary, Myanmar has always been strong buyers of Chinese weapons, strong, and -5 F -7’s performance highly praised by the Myanmar side. Therefore, Myanmar would like to be more powerful F -10 to stabilize the situation and asked China to build support for the local system operators to maintain the “base”, these bases not only for Myanmar’s military to provide a range of weapons components system services, but also to covers the part of personnel provided arms training.

China’s export interest to move to -10 F, the Indian military appears to have been affected, was invited to visit China, commander of the Indian Air Force refused to express any opinion on this. There are comments that the F -10 exported to Pakistan will change the military situation in South Asia, China would also have constrained the strategic ambitions of India’s intentions. India’s military strength has always been a strong rule the roost in South Asia, India and Pakistan, weapons and equipment, very wrong and so on, as an advanced light fighter F -10 fighter just be able to match the West, greatly enhancing Pakistan’s strength, increased its chips to compete in India.

Taliban recapture strategic from the hands of Pakistan army

Oct 21

Posted by admin in International News | No Comments

Taliban leader Hakim Mulama Hasu DePakistan army action to wipe out the Taliban suffered a major setback on the 20th: a home overlooking the Taliban leaders went so far as the strategic lost it. At the same time, two suicide bombers in the Pakistani capital of the Islamic University campus blew himself up, killing at least six people were killed and 20 injured. The Pakistani government believes that the Department of the bombing the Taliban’s “crazy act of revenge.”

Is widely believed that this wipe out the Taliban in fighting against the Pakistani government can eradicate extremism severe test. Over the past two days, government forces captured a key Taliban leader first Mehsud’s birthplace. However, the short-lived, Taliban militants launched a frenzied counterattack quickly in a while in the army at 20, drive out. In this case, the army deployed aircraft bombed the Taliban positions.

According to reports, Mehsud was responsible for training the suicide bombers within the Taliban senior commander. His hometown is the only way to go to the heart of the Taliban, so both sides are desperate scramble. 20, U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates said he was Pakistan’s military moves against the Taliban was “encouraged.” Is responsible for directing the work of the local U.S. combat commander of Central Command, General彼得罗乌斯has just concluded his visit to Pakistan.

Pakistani military spokesman said that although the Taliban did not compete with the full strength of government forces, but their mountain laowo threat facing the government forces, their resistance rating is extraordinary. Overall, Pakistan’s government forces in dealing with the Taliban have a number of advantages (28,000 pairs of 11000), but the local rugged mountains and the Taliban over the years painstakingly built bunkers and other fortifications seriously affected Pakistan Army’s advance speed.

Pakistani military said, and now the Taliban-controlled areas have been surrounded by Pakistani army is soldiers in three columns, from the north, west and south-south-easterly direction at the same time work towards the Taliban heartland. Since 2004, the Pakistani military had on several occasions to the South Waziristan region, the Taliban attacked, but they suffered heavy casualties in the post-let the matter rest. However, this time against the Taliban’s military operations by the Government, the military and the general public’s strong support, accounting and advantages, the Taliban has a geographical advantage.

Two months later, due to the forthcoming winter in Pakistan, the snow close off the mountains will make anti-insurgent operations simply can not start, therefore, once the Taliban successfully drawn into the anti-insurgent operations this winter, will sit well placed two significant advantages. This is also Pakistan’s military commitment to quick-fix’s main concern. In addition, if prolonged war, the Taliban continue to send people to launch suicide attacks, could seriously affect the political stability in Pakistan.

According to the “Washington Post” quoted unnamed Western anti-terrorism official as saying, even though the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency over the past year, frequently deployed unmanned aircraft to Pakistan and Afghan border where the Taliban and the “base” to launch fierce leader missile attack, but there are still a large number of developed countries from the West “volunteers” have come from afar rushed to a local occupation, and received military training and returned to the motherland “latent.” Among them, in Germany with the Taliban and the “base” associated organizations, issued a video warning that if the Government does not withdraw its troops from Afghanistan will face a terrorist attack. In this case, the German security authorities have been on high alert. Germany is currently stationed in Afghanistan, about 3,800 officers and men, following the United States and Britain, the largest number of troops to Afghanistan, NATO countries. Dutch intelligence services in the recent report that “more and more indications” show that more Europeans to participate in the junction of the border between Pakistan and Afghanistan training camps. Pakistan had arrested 12 on their way to the North Waziristan region, foreigners, including four Swedes. Three Belgians and a Frenchman in training camp, after their return from the arrested. They are in Pakistan or Afghanistan and had received training in blasting. At the same time, there may be three Belgians and many French people hiding in Pakistan or Afghanistan.
