What is Pakistan's Military Capability and Strength?

This question gains added significance in the wake of Qatar and Kuwait also seeking defence accord with Pakistan after Saudi Arabia.

Here is ⁠a look at the defence forces ​and arsenals of nuclear-armed Pakistan, according to data ​from the London-based International Institute for Strategic Studies.

[Mirwaiz Umar Farooq @MirwaizKashmir]

With deep emotion and reverence we pay our respects and glorious tributes to our first Martyrs, who 95 years ago on this day, by their supreme sacrifice laid the foundation of the people’s struggle for justice, dignity and human rights. A struggle that continues.

It is painful and unfortunate that the people of Jammu Kashmir are prevented by force, from offering fatiha and paying homage to the martyrs, as all roads leading to Mazar-e-Shuhada, Naqshband Sahib, are blocked and barricaded and restrictions imposed around Jama Masjid Srinagar and I have once again been placed under house arrest.

Graveyards may be sealed, roads blocked and people confined, the Martyrs live in our hearts, and our collective memory for all times.

May Allah grant them and all the Shuhada e Jammu Kashmir the highest place in Jannah. Ameen.

Salam to Shuhada-e-Kashmir

There is growing eagerness in Pakistan to involve China, the other upper riparian country, more directly in its water disputes with India.

A year ago, Reuters called Pakistan a “diplomatic outcast”; today it describes it as “a mediator between the US and Iran.” My latest in @dawn_com examines how credible international platforms such as @Reuters, @ChathamHouse and others are reading Pakistan’s diplomatic moment and the role of its leadership. https://t.co/viJfgXCcew

🚨🚨PUBLICATION ALERT🚨🚨

Read our 3-part series on what's changed in Pakistan since #OpSindoor & what that means for the future of India-Pakistan relations.

Part 1, "Preparing for the Next War: Inside Pakistan’s Bid to Reset the Balance with India" by @BashirAliAbbas, examines how the 7–10 May 2025 India-Pakistan conflict has reshaped Pakistan’s military thinking, procurement, and higher defense organization. It traces the relative demotion of nuclear “full-spectrum deterrence” in favor of a conventional “Quid Pro Quo Plus” posture built for limited, stand-off, non-contact warfare.

Pak-Iran corridors

Pakistan should not just think of a pipeline. Pakistan should think of an energy corridor – oil, gas, power, storage, refining, transit and border industry. Iran has hydrocarbons. Pakistan has geography. Iran has energy. Pakistan has the shortest route to the Arabian Sea and South Asia.

Pakistan should establish a Pak-Iran Power Grid. Pakistan must start with electrons before molecules because electricity is faster than a gas pipeline – less controversial, more modular. Pakistan must scale it to 500MW, 1,000MW and then to 3,000MW.

Pakistan should create a Pak-Iran Energy Belt along the Makran coast from Gwadar, Pasni, Ormara and Karachi. Pakistan should use Iranian gas and electricity for minerals processing, cold storage, fisheries, desalination and export zones. Don’t just bring energy into Pakistan. Use energy at the border to create industry.

Pakistan should put up a Pak-Iran Petrochemical and Ammonia Hub near Gwadar. Convert gas into fertiliser, methanol, ammonia and shipping fuel. Gas should create dollars, not circular debt. Iran supplies gas and power, Pakistan supplies labour land and access to ports. Use Iranian gas not for household consumption but for export industries – textiles, data centres, steel, chemicals, ceramics and copper processing.

Pakistan must build four energy-backed Pak-Iran Border Industrial Parks at Taftan, Gwadar, Panjgur and Turbat. Alongside the future gas pipeline, Pakistan should immediately develop mini-LNG and CNG corridors comprising compressed gas trucking, small-scale LNG, border regasification and industrial off-take clusters.

Pakistan must develop a Gwadar-Chabahar Energy Twin-Port Model, a joint logistics platform for oil, gas, containers and minerals. Gwadar for storage, re-export and CPEC connectivity; Chabahar for Iranian access and regional trade. Pakistan must not treat Gwadar and Chabahar as rivals – create complementarity.

How about a Pak-Iran Blue Ammonia Hub? Iranian gas, Pakistani geography, and carbon capture combined to produce fertiliser, methanol and shipping fuel. The objective is simple: convert gas into dollars, not circular debt.

Pakistan must create a Corridor Financing Structure with separate bankable modules for power import lines, storage terminals, industrial parks, refinery upgrade, port logistics and border markets (each project to have its own revenue stream).

An oil pipeline: Iranian crude to Gwadar storage and then export. Every major energy hub has storage – Fujairah, Rotterdam, Singapore and Cushing. Pakistan must build strategic crude oil storage facilities at Gwadar.

Pak-Iran Power Grid will add $2-3 billion a year. Pak-Iran Energy Belt $3-5 billion. Pak-Iran Blue Ammonia Hub $1-1.5 billion. Pak-Iran Border Industrial Parks $2-4 billion. Mini-LNG corridors $2-3 billion. Gwadar-Chabhar Twin-Port Model $2-4 billion. Iran-Pakistan Gas Pipeline $4-6 billion. Expanded goods trade $6-10 billion. Refinery upgrades: $3–5 billion. Petrochemical $3–5 billion. Transit fees/logistics/storage: $2–3 billion.

Collective potential under a realistic strategic case: $30-35 billion a year. Collective potential under a full corridor case: $40-45 billion a year. First phase: 2–5 years. Full corridor: 5–8 years.

The historical pattern is clear: Energy corridors transformed Rotterdam. They transformed Singapore. They transformed Fujairah. Pakistan now has an opportunity to build one of the world’s great energy corridors linking the Gulf, Central Asia, South Asia and Western China.

Old thinking: Iran-Pakistan gas pipeline. New thinking: Pakistan-Iran energy corridor. Lesson from history: One pipe is vulnerable. A corridor is bankable. A corridor creates revenue. A corridor creates leverage.

Based on my observations & having studied & worked on public behaviour for some time now, I can clearly see a brutal Shia–Sunni conflict brewing in Kashmir.
I'm not going to name names or point fingers but I can see it coming.
All religious scholars should take up responsibility.

[Hassan Aslam Shad @HassShad]

International law is not a menu from which New Delhi can selectively order. The unilateral declaration by India to place the Indus Waters Treaty (IWT) in “abeyance” - coupled with the brazen announcement of the Chenab-Beas Tunnel Link Project is a flagrant, multi-layered violation of international water law and a complete mockery of pacta sunt servanda (agreements must be kept).

Let’s tear down the legally bankrupt narratives coming out of Indian policy circles:

1. The "Abeyance" delusion. Under the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties (VCLT), a state cannot simply hit a "pause button" on a bilateral transboundary water treaty under the pretext of self-serving political narratives. The IWT has no provision for unilateral suspension or "abeyance." By attempting to do so, India is acting as a rogue hydraulic actor, setting a catastrophic global precedent where upper riparians can weaponize life-giving resources whenever it suits their domestic political optics.

2. The Illegality of Inter-Basin Transfer: Indian analysts themselves admit that the Chenab-Beas Link is an inter-basin transfer. Let’s be absolutely clear: The Western Rivers (Indus, Jhelum, Chenab) belong exclusively to Pakistan. The treaty explicitly prohibits India from diverting these waters outside their natural basins. Calling an illegal diversion an "engineering marvel" does not wash away the fact that it is outright hydro-theft. Doing this while claiming the treaty is "in abeyance" is a confession of guilt, not a legal defense.

3. Geography is Not "Generosity":
The recurring, fragile Indian grievance regarding the "80-20" water split is a mathematical scam. As even sane voices in the article note: India did not give water to Pakistan; geography did. The Indus basin naturally contours through Kashmir into Pakistan. To frame geographic reality as "Nehruvian generosity" or "charity" is an absurd exercise in revisionist history.

4. Weaponizing Water Under the Guise of Terror: Shifting the policy posture from "no talks" to "no water" is a dangerous escalation that violates fundamental humanitarian principles. Water security is human security. Threatening the collective survival of over 240 million people by choking downstream flows isn't "counter-terrorism" - it is collective punishment and an act of eco-aggression.

The Bottom Line: Pakistan’s restraint must not be mistaken for weakness. If India believes it can unilaterally rewrite geography and dismantle a binding international treaty without severe geopolitical, legal, and strategic blowback, it is catastrophically mistaken. You cannot build regional hegemony on the starvation of your neighbours. The IWT is etched in international law, not subject to the whims of New Delhi's political theater.

"Another India-Pakistan conflict is highly likely ... it could prove even more serious than the war last year. But for now, there is at least some reason to believe that both countries are aware of this great danger, and that they want to do what they can to avoid such a scenario," writes Michael Kugelman https://t.co/pRSn1txtHH
