LAHORE: In what could be branded as an impressive firepower display over the waves of the North Arabian Sea on January 12 this year, the Pakistan Navy Fleet comprising its submarines, had also successfully engaged its intended targets with anti-ship missiles and torpedoes.
And then recently, the naval warfare branch of the Pakistan Armed Forces, kicked off a five-day multinational exercise in the Arabian Sea, with 45 nations participating in the event that has surely caught the eyes of all the international military powers to reckon with.
