It was evident that Pakistani strategic planners will reach these conclusions.

“The danger is that Pakistan’s ROEs will evolve past Riposte and into deterrence-by-interdiction. Any visible IBG buildup near the border, or persistent scavenging for sub-strategic manoeuvre space under the nuclear ceiling, may trigger a counter-concentration strike before hostilities formally begin.
Unlike Russia or China, Pakistan doesn’t operate behind oceans or with redundancy. It operates with existential immediacy. It cannot afford to absorb. Its threshold is not calibrated in megatons, but in minutes.”

This was my intuition last year:

Technological Evolution and Military Development Must be Governed by Ethics and Responsibility: Gen Zakria Addresses Shangri-La Dialogue

SINGAPORE: Lieutenant General Nauman Zakria has emphasised that rapid technological advancements and military modernisation must be guided by ethics, responsibility and international cooperation, warning that emerging technologies are reshaping the global security landscape and creating new risks to strategic stability.

Addressing delegates at the Shangri-La Dialogue 2026 in Singapore, Gen Zakria said the growing integration of artificial intelligence, autonomous systems, cyber capabilities, quantum technologies and multi-domain operations was transforming military decision-making and strategic competition while introducing new vulnerabilities and risks of miscalculation.

South Asia’s Strategic Environment

Referring to South Asia, Gen Zakria said the region’s strategic stability continued to be shaped by nuclear deterrence, conventional asymmetry, enduring political tensions and unresolved disputes between Pakistan and India.

He described China as a constructive and stabilising factor that contributes to strategic balance, regional connectivity and economic cooperation.

Commenting on the May 2025 conflict between Pakistan and India, Gen Zakria said Pakistan’s response demonstrated effective multi-domain operations supported by tri-service coordination and the integrated use of cyber, electronic warfare, intelligence, surveillance and space-based capabilities.

According to him, the conflict reinforced the importance of escalation control and crisis communication mechanisms in maintaining regional stability.

He warned that continued militarisation and adversarial rhetoric in South Asia, combined with the absence of robust crisis management frameworks, could undermine long-term peace and security.

Call for Global Cooperation

Gen Zakria stressed that technological innovation should not be separated from ethical responsibility and strategic accountability.

He called for internationally accepted norms governing the military use of artificial intelligence, autonomous systems, cyber operations and space technologies, arguing that human oversight must remain central in decisions involving the use of force.

The senior military official also advocated confidence-building measures, transparency mechanisms and technical dialogue among states to reduce misunderstandings and prevent destabilising arms races.

He further urged countries to strengthen direct communication channels, saying dialogue must continue even during periods of geopolitical rivalry.

“Strategic stability is preserved not only through deterrence, but through communication as well,” he said.

Concluding his remarks, Gen Zakria underscored the need for stronger international cooperation on cyber governance, responsible AI development, space security and digital ethics.

He said peace and stability have never been automatic outcomes of technological progress, but rather depend on political responsibility, strategic restraint and sustained international engagement.

@Blue ist911


Rocket Force Commander Lt Gen Nauman Zakria has officially checkmated India's military doctrines. By launching a highly survivable conventional strike command entirely separate from nuclear assets, #Pakistan has blocked #India's decades old rocket divisions. This force ensures total dominance in long-range warfare, making India's plans a stillborn baby. The warning is clear Pakistan's military is fully ready to unleash a full core conventional attack to completely crush India the moment red lines are crossed.

Pakistan says two river projects by arch-rival India would "weaponise" water and violate a major treaty between the neighbouring nations, warning of a response if the projects move ahead

Pakistan says India is 'weaponising water' after treaty suspension
Pakistan says India has not consulted Islamabad on two new river projects announced after New Delhi suspended the bilateral Indus Waters Treaty last year, which governs the use of waterways relied on by hundreds of millions.

Pakistan said on Thursday two river projects by arch-rival India would "weaponise" water and violate a major treaty between the neighbouring nations, threatening a response if they move ahead.
India, which has announced the two initiatives separately this year, insists it is within its rights to press ahead with projects on the waters it controls, even though rivers flowing through both countries would be impacted.
Pakistan's foreign ministry spokesperson Tahir Andrabi told journalists that New Delhi had not consulted Islamabad on the two Chenab River projects that he said would undermine the Indus Waters Treaty.
"These projects confirm that India seems to weaponise water," he said. "This carries dangerous implications not only for Pakistan's economy but also for regional stability and international peace and security."
India announced last year it was suspending the bilateral Indus Waters Treaty that governs the use of waterways relied on by hundreds of millions, in the lead-up to armed conflict between the nuclear-armed neighbours.
Andrabi, however, said the treaty still binds both governments.
Pakistan has previously said it would consider any attempt to change the flow of cross-border waterways an "act of war" and said there was no mechanism for either country to unilaterally withdraw from the 1960 pact that had survived three armed hostilities.
In May, India's government-owned National Hydroelectric Power Corporation issued a tender notice for a proposed tunnel project that would transfer water from the Chenab River to the Beas basin.
India's power ministry said in January it was undertaking "sediment removal" at Salal Power Station on the Chenab River "following the termination of the Indus Waters Treaty".
Andrabi said that "any illegal measure to endanger Pakistan's water, food and economic security as well as the survival and well-being of its 250 million people is unacceptable."
"Pakistan will retain all options necessary for safeguarding rights under the treaty and to protect its vital national interest," he said, without elaborating on a course of action.
Water risks becoming a flashpoint in a region grappling with climate change and population growth, which are stretching resources in the agricultural sectors that form the backbone of both countries' economies, experts say.
India's foreign ministry rejected a May 15 decision by what it termed the "illegally constituted so-called Court of Arbitration" — the Hague-based body used to resolve disputes between India and Pakistan related to the treaty.
Pakistan said the decision supported its stance that the treaty remained in effect, which New Delhi denied.
"India's decision to hold the Indus Waters Treaty in abeyance remains in force," New Delhi's foreign ministry said.
The water treaty provided a rare avenue of diplomatic engagement between the rival sides until India suspended its involvement following a deadly attack on tourists in Indian-administered Kashmir in April 2025.
New Delhi, without providing any evidence, blamed Islamabad for backing the attack, which Islamabad denies.
The two countries engaged in intense drone, missile and artillery exchanges the following month, which left nearly 70 people dead on both sides.
