Pakistan Gives US, NATO Proof On India’s Covert Links With Baitullah Mehsud


The US continues to be in denial as evident from the recent statement of Richard Holbrooke where he said the evidence Pakistan has produced on India’s links to terrorism in Balochistan is not credible. The Pakistanis have photographs and video tapes of Indian agents in Afghanistan meeting with known terrorists. Army chief Gen. Kayani has warned the Americans to stop criticizing the ISI. On his recent visit, the protocol given to Mr. Holbrooke was no longer presidential, as was the case during his previous visits. And the ISI chief has also declined to meet any US officials separately. Pakistan is getting closer to being left with no option but to limit or outright block the occupation supply lines in order to force Washington to understand it can’t ignore Pakistani regional strategic interests..
Higher Pakistani political and military authorities have handed over substantial evidence to its allies US and NATO regarding India’s involvement in aiding Baitullah Mehsud.
Well-informed sources told Online that Pakistani political and military leadership have provided documented and video tape evidence to Special US representative for Pakistan and Afghanistan Richard Holbrooke and ISAF chief Lt. Gen. McChrystal of India’s covert links with Baitullah Mehsud and provision of aid to him through Indian consulate in Afghanistan.
During his recent trip to Pakistan Holbrooke was in clear-cut terms told to talk to India on this matter as Baitullah does not have resources to stand up before the army and he is clearly getting external aid. Upon this Holbrooke assured the Pakistanis that he would take up this matter with India at the diplomatic level. The Afghan government has also been told to stop the use of Indian consulates against Pakistan.
Sources further say that Pakistan for the first time has made it clear to US and NATO that it is need of hour to halt foreign aid to terrorist elements in order to show results in the so-called war against terrorism.
The full range of anti-Pakistan terrorism from Afghanistan. The Indians are involved. But there is als0 concernThat some people in CIA and Pentagon are meddling in Pakistan without the full knowledge of the rest of the US government.
On the other hand, Islamabad has made it clear to US that Washington needs to share relevant information with Pakistani intelligence agencies regarding the movement of Baitullah Mehsud along with pictures taken from satellites and drones.
Pakistani Officials have also expressed their sheer reservations regarding directly targeting Baitullah Mehsud and have urged that drone attacks must be halted immediately as innocent lives are being lost because of it.
Sources say that Chief of the Army Staff General Ashfaq Pervez Kiyani in his recent visits to the US has number of times made it clear to Richard Holbrooke and General McChrystal to stop criticizing ISI concerning support of Taliban as it could result in major difference between the two countries. He made it clear there were no sympathizers of Baitullah within the army
Military sources further added that despite numerous briefings US Chairman Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee Admiral Mike Mullen is not refraining from lambasting ISI and the ISI chief is also maintaining his policy of not meeting the US authorities separately

PAKISTAN NAVY INTERESTED IN BUYING CAMCOPTER UAV


Pakistan navy is interested in buying camcopter s100 uav system…navy conducted trials of this uav in 2008 on its type 21 frigates ….The Camcopter S-100 is a highly versatile, carbon-fiber monocoque, unmanned rotorcraft being developed by Schiebel to meet the requirements of military and civil customers using a variety of modular payloads. As a vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) air vehicle the S-100 eliminates the need for launch and recovery equipment. The air vehicle can be programmed to fly an autonomous mission profile relying on its GPS/INS navigation system. Schiebel has provided the S-100 with integrated checklists and numerous fail-safe mechanisms to reduce the risk of damage due to operator error. A built-in two-way datalink enables to receive control inputs and to send video and imagery to the ground control station in real time. Schiebel is targeting the S-100 rotorcraft for both ground- and ship-based applications such as tactical surveillance and reconnaissance, artillery support, maritime surveillance and amphibious support, and weapons delivery.

The Camcopter S-100 has two payload bays, side hard points and an internal auxiliary electronics/avionics bay. The primary payload bay, located directly beneath the main rotor shaft, is capable of mounting payloads weighing up to 50 kg (100-lb). Typically, the payload consists of daylight TV and/or infrared cameras. Besides, the S-100 could conduct precise delivery and recovery of guided munitions, deployment of riot control agents (smoke), and mine detection using infrared camera. The air vehicle is powered by a 55-hp aviation engine which provides a maximum speed of 120-kt and a flight endurance of up to six hours carrying a 25 kg payload and cruising at 55 knots. The mission range varies from 80 to 130 kilometers. video below shows the testing of uav by pak navy
