Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and Chief of Army Staff Gen Raheel Sharif on Wednesday inspected the military exercises Raad-ul-Barq conducted by the Pakistan Army and Pakistan Air Force at Khairpur Tamewali near Bahawalpur, a strategic area near the border.
The exercise, held just days after seven Pakistani soldiers were killed in cross-border firing across the Line of Control, was intended to survey the combat-readiness of troops.
PM Nawaz warned against "any ambitious and reckless move by enemies", saying that the exercises reflect the preparedness of Pakistan's armed forces to "respond to any threat to national security."

@Just Someone.
Most all weapons systems & supplies and logistics are domestically manufactured & safely stored, in hardened areas, to last for a long durations of up to minimum of 3-years to 5-years.
(Unlike, in 1948, 3-days military supplies. 1965, 2-weeks; blitzkrieg strategy; reasons for ceasefire. 1971, 4-weeks; most supplies exhausted; bad logistics. If rightful attention to the Art of Warfare Logistics had been allocated, the geographical map of the region would be more favorable to Pakistan.)
2015, now logistics can proficiently sustain warfare for 3-to-5 years and beyond, under hardened circumstances.
All Ammunition, 96%, domestic.
All Weapons delivery systems, 84%.
All Advanced weapon. Systems , 63%.
Any reliance on foreign weapons is being reduced, gradually.
Thanks & have good peaceful day!

Do we also have same excellence in health, education, Science, technology, civil service? Answer is NO.
Russia had better weapons, but could not be saved. Time to think.
