The aggressors are USA, Israel and their chamcha GCC. Then you have confused wannabe Pakistan looking for angles to make a few bucks.
Pakistan has been training foreign pilots since the 1970s. Pakistan Air Force (PAF) has trained personnel from Middle Eastern, African, and some Asian countries for decades. That part isn’t controversial, it’s one of the few things the country has consistently done well.
The real story begins when you look at who keeps coming back for training. Gulf militaries have money, hardware, and shiny bases, but they still outsource the backbone of their defense. Not because they’re incapable, but because they’ve built systems where someone else does the hard work while they pose for the parade.
They don’t want a fight; they want a buffer. They want manpower that can stand between them and the consequences of their own politics. And Pakistan, drowning in debt and running an economy held together by remittances and petroleum levies, is in no position to say no. It’s a simple transaction: ‘You give us your men, we’ll give you money.’ Dress it up however you want, strategic cooperation, regional stability, brotherly ties, it’s still a paycheck disguised as diplomacy.
China, once the dependable lender of last resort, is visibly fatigued. They keep refinancing loans but their patience is wearing thin. CPEC is stalled, repayments are shaky, and Beijing has started speaking in the kind of diplomatic language that means: ‘Fix your house before you ask for more.’
Meanwhile, Pakistan is trying to run one of the world’s largest armies on an economy that can barely run its own hospitals. Salaries, pensions, land grants, operational costs, every part of the military machine demands money Pakistan doesn’t have. The state is so cash‑strapped it needs external financing even to deploy troops abroad.
This is the uncomfortable truth. Pakistan’s military cooperation abroad isn’t driven by grand strategy. It’s driven by survival. A country with a fragile economy and oversized institutions ends up renting out its competence to those who can afford it. And the citizens? They’re stuck paying the bill through inflation, taxes, and a political class that refuses to tighten its own belt. How long will this continue?
How will Establishment continue to play game with Pakistan?
