Justification is still there for having this much infantry, though it has been increasingly mechanized and motorized.

Smaller, agile formations with long range stand off weapons and mobility, v with drones and helicopters, with SF component in every formation, though equally good idea, required a lot of funding followed by time to test and absorb everything.... Time we might have, funding we don't.

Panzerkiel, long time no see buddy. I really miss our discussions on armored formations and hypothetical military operations. I was looking for your views on how the composition, tactics, strategy, formation, and equipment can be changed in a conventional war scenario, given how the Ukraine war has re-written the rule-book. I couldn't find anything other than this above quote. Could you point me to the right direction?

Let me start a thread and hopefully I can pique your interest, my teacher. Between, I published a book based on our last long discussion.

Congratulations, Sir, for publishing your book. Would be great if you could give us a peek of it, if possible.

Also, what is your take on the recent change in Bangladesh? How it is going to affect this region strategically if at all?

Sure, but this isn't the appropriate thread for it, although basically it's a book of fiction about the Pakistan Army with three Pakistani friends "Mustakim" (army), "Salaudin" (Navy), and "Imran" (Air force), who all come from a small village in the Punjab called "Chak 75 JB". Eventually they take part in a war against India, and in short, India doesn't look too good afterwards. Indians are giving my book terrible reviews and calling for it's ban in India, but somehow that makes me happy.

really? And very interesting! I am sure you know where that Chak 75 JB is located in Pakistan. BTW, how did you know that chak? Just to mention I too hail from a chak not too far from there.

The book will be an interesting read for me too (even though I have no solid military background). Would you mind to share the book information? Is it available as a soft copy too? I mean for buying online.
 
That's fascinating that you hail from a Chak not far from there. I chose the Chak randomly from Google Maps while writing the book (truth be told). As a foreigner, I haven't visited Pakistan since 2004. It's become a lot more difficult to visit since then, and it's much harder to write without direct experience.

I tried to portray the Pakistan Army and contemporary warfare as accurately as I could, which my discussions with Panzerkiel really helped with. The book is titled The India-Pakistan War of 2030. It's available at a number of distributions, including Amazon. It's available as an ebook and a paperback. I make most of my book sales from Western markets, not sure if it is available in UAE, most likely not, and probably not in Pakistan either.

Thank you for sharing information about your book. I'll be purchasing it soon and I'm sure it will be a fascinating read. As a student of strategic affairs, I'm especially eager to gain insights into warfare strategies and tactics, especially in the context of India-Pakistan rivalry. I believe your book will offer valuable perspectives on this subject.

I'm confident that with the changing realities, it will become much easier for you to visit Pakistan regularly in the coming months and years. We eagerly look forward to welcoming our brothers from Bangladesh.
 
Lieutenant General Muhammad Asim Malik has officially taken charge as the new Director-General of the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI). His appointment marks a significant transition within Pakistan's intelligence community.

Lt Gen Asim Malik is recognised as one of the Pakistan Army's most capable operational commanders, adept at meeting complex objectives with timely actions.

He possesses expertise in operational intelligence and has managed various military affairs.

Before this role, General Malik commanded the Infantry Division in Balochistan and the Infantry Brigade in Waziristan.



He has been awarded the prestigious Sword of Honour and has served as Chief Instructor at the National Defence University (NDU) and as an instructor at the Command and Staff College in Quetta.

Additionally, the new spymaster is a graduate of Fort Leavenworth and the Royal College of Defence Studies. He previously held responsibilities within the Military Operations Directorate.

Gen Asim Malik's tenure as Adjutant General coincided with significant political events, including the arrest of former prime minister Imran Khan and subsequent unrest.

Following Imran's detention, supporters of his party, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), engaged in protests that led to damage to public property and military installations.

A former colleague noted that Malik's new role underscores the strong confidence the military leadership has in him.

The ISI, founded in 1948, is Pakistan's premier intelligence agency.

While officially reporting to the prime minister, the agency often plays a significant role in the country's political and security affairs.
