Lt. Gen. Gul Hasan Khan

He was the Chief of General Staff at the time of the fall of Dhaka. However, instead of dismissing him, the Bhutto government promoted him to the rank of lieutenant general and appointed him as the commander-in-chief of the army.

About two-and-a-half months later, he was sacked along with Air Force Chief Air Marshal Rahim Khan and Navy Chief Muzaffar Hasan.

Although the commission recommended Gul Hasan to be tried in an open court, the Bhutto government appointed him ambassador to Austria after dismissing him from service and withdrawing all privileges and medals.

Major General Ghulam Umar

He was Yahya Khan's deputy in the National Security Council. He is said to have collected funds from Pakistani industrialists to influence the election results.

But according to an article by Altaf Gohar, Rs 28 lakh was given to be distributed among friendly political forces. The money was to be used through ISI chief Major General Akbar Khan and Rao Farman Ali.

Later his friend from London wrote these words to Indu Matha, widow of General Matha: 'All he wanted in the last days of his glorious life was a room where he could eat, drink, write, sleep and walk. There should also be a place for them from where they can see the green plains in front of them and the mountains in the distance.'

It was General Matha who founded the Army's SSG commando unit. SSG commandos also gave him the last condolence salute. General Matha left behind a book 'In Likely Beginnings. A Soldier's Life, From Bombay to GHQ'.

Fusion of AI and Cyber has revolutionised the 21st century, driving progress across various sectors. Yet, it poses challenges to national security and human control in conflicts.

AI and Cyber are reshaping power dynamics, allowing smaller nations, non-state actors, and tech companies to wield global influence.

Transforming military capabilities through AI raises questions about balance and deterrence, fuelling global strategic competitions.

Emerging technologies, including nuclear, blur the delicate equilibrium between nuclear states, risking miscalculations and conflicts in sensitive regions.

Vulnerabilities in strategic Command, Control, and Communication systems heighten the risk of conflict escalation, especially in ideologically charged disputes.

The proliferation of advanced AI and cyber capabilities among non-state actors threatens global stability, transcending traditional notions of sovereignty and territorial integrity.

The convergence of cyber, information, and physical domains expands the spectrum of conflict, shaping future warfare within hybrid-grey zones.

Future warfare will be shaped by emerging technologies and autonomous systems, emphasizing long-range precision strikes.
