The Chief of Army Staff (COAS), General Raheel Sharif this Friday visited the Sonmiani Ranges and witnessed air defence firing exercises. Full range of Air Defence Weapons including guns and surface to air missiles were used in the practicing exercise. The COAS greatly appreciated the professionalism of participating units and standards achieved in engaging aerial targets.
While interacting with the troops, the COAS reiterated that the multidimensional security threats, faced by the country, required a high state of preparedness at all times. “Highest standard of training and professionalism must remain our hallmark to accomplish the mission,” he emphasized. Earlier, on arrival at the Range, the COAS was received by Lieutenant General Muhammad Zahid Latif Mirza, Commander Army Air Defence Command.
At the monthly Corps Commanders conference, Gen Sharif commended soldiers for their work despite “serious security and administrative challenges”, according to an ISPR press release. The army chief caused quite a stir in government circles when he vowed at a Special Services Group base in Tarbela that the army would “resolutely preserve its own dignity and institutional pride”. Gen Sharif’s comments were said to be made in the context of the army’s concern over the trial of former military ruler retired Gen Pervez Musharraf on the charge of high treason.
