Another report on the PNS Zulfiqar incident. This one claims the ship was actually hijacked.

Other sources say they only got 4 gunmen onto the deck but they were all gunned down before major damage was done - 6 were on an incoming boat but got chopped to chomps by the Type 730 CIWS. If that's the case, it'd probably the first time ever any CIWS was fired in anger and scored actual kills.

Still, a ship the size and sophistication of PNS Zulfigar would require way more than 10 men to actually operate it in any degree of effectiveness, right?

Pakistan army special operations units is called the SSG (special services group)

They are a elite fighting unit total strength is classified whenever they train with foreign units they get only high praise and have won many honours

The Russian Spetsnaz nick named them the "Black Storks" after they encountered the SSG commandos at the Battle for Hill 3234 during the Afghan war

The Air Force and navy are also working on such a force but the army unit is certainly the best

Pakistan is in the process of retrofitting its 50 Chengdu/Pakistan Aeronautical Complex JF-17 fighters to an improved Block II configuration.

The new configuration features improved avionics and better software, and adds a fixed air-to-air refuelling probe, says Air Cdre Khalid Mahmood, chief executive of JF-17 sales and marketing.

Mahmood spoke to Flightglobal at the Pakistan booth at Airshow China in Zhuhai. He was part of a 20-strong delegation from Pakistan, which also brought a single JF-17 to appear in the static display

Pakistan brought large contingents to the 2010 and 2012 shows, which included three JF-17s, transport aircraft and the nation’s display team. Mahmood scotched speculation that the pared-down presence reflects any change in Pakistan/China relations.He says the two countries still have an excellent working relationship, and notes that Pakistan sent a squadron of 18 JF-17s to a recent air combat exercise in western China.

Given the small size of the combat fighter, a fixed refuelling probe was found to be preferable to a retracting one. Pakistan uses the Ilyushin Il-78 to provide air-to-air refuelling for its fleet.

In December, Pakistan will begin taking delivery of 50 JF-17s configured in the Block II configuration. Beyond this, its air force has options to take its fleet of the type up to 150 or 200 aircraft. Additional improvements are foreseen in a planned Block III upgrade.

Mahmood adds that the air force is satisfied with the fighter's Klimov RD-93 engine. The powerplant can currently be operated for up to 800 flight hours between overhauls, but there is an effort under way to improve this.Mahmood reveals that the type has seen combat in western Pakistan, where it has employed both guided and unguided munitions.

Pakistan has not adopted the MSR, and there is no confirmation of Multicam.

This is true that this picture is not from Pakistan. Pakistan however has tested a similar rifle for a tender.
