According to the Pakistan Associated Press, Pakistani Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif announced on the 13th local time the establishment of a new Army Rocket Force Command to enhance national defense capabilities.
Shahbaz said that the new Army Rocket Force Command will be equipped with the most advanced technology, further enhancing Pakistan's conventional combat capabilities.
That day, Shahbaz announced the above information at a grand ceremony celebrating the 78th anniversary of Pakistan's independence.
Reuters quoted a senior Pakistani security official as saying that the new Rocket Force Command will be responsible for managing and deploying missiles in conventional warfare.
The official also said, "It is clearly aimed at India."
Retired Indian Air Force Colonel Augustine Vinod wrote in the Eurasia Times that Pakistan's Army Rocket Force Command was established as a "new military entity" that "clearly imitates" the Chinese People's Liberation Army Rocket Force.
The article stated that this move by Pakistan has caused waves in strategic circles in New Delhi, India, and suggested that, as a response, India urgently needs to establish its own independent rocket force.
On May 7-10 this year, India and Pakistan had a brief military conflict, followed by a ceasefire agreement.
Shahbaz said on August 13 that the military conflict between the two countries ended in a decisive victory for Pakistan within three to four days, delivering an unforgettable lesson to India.
Shahbaz also thanked friendly countries such as China, Turkey, and Iran for their support to Pakistan during the conflict.
