Amid rising tensions with India, Pakistan on Sunday (November 16) conducted a major military exercise named ‘Raad-ul-Fatah’ at Tilla firing range in Jhelum, Punjab province. This drill was conducted at a distance of just 190 kilometers from the Indian border. Units of Pakistan Army’s 1st Corps, Aviation Corps, 2nd Artillery Division and 6th Armored Division took part in the exercise.
During this drill, the Second Artillery Division demonstrated the Fatah-1 and Fatah-2 missile systems. Firing of SH-15 artillery gun was also done. Rewali Squad of Pakistan’s Aviation Wing showed its capability by live firing from Cobra and Z-10 ME attack helicopters.

Show of strength before the king of Jordan
Jordan’s King Abdullah II, Pakistan PM Shahbaz Sharif and Army Chief Field Marshal Asim Munir participated in this military exercise. To impress the King of Jordan, Pakistan also organized the flight of JF-17 fighter jet. The 6th Division also fired from its 6MBT-Hyder tank, while Pakistan also tested suicide drones developed with the help of China and 7 and 10 inch FPV drones.
Demonstration of armed quadcopter with 10 KM range
NRTC (National Radio and Telecommunication Corporation) chief Brigadier Amjat Shabbir also showed a demo of a quadcopter fitted with an assault rifle developed in Pakistan to the King of Jordan. This drone can fly at a range of 10 km and at a height of 3 km.

What did Field Marshal Asim Munir say?
After the exercise, Field Marshal Asim Munir gave an off-record briefing to the journalists. According to sources, he made sharp remarks on India and said that if India attacked, Pakistan would respond.
Pakistan had done a big military exercise
Indian Army sources say that Pakistan had conducted a major military exercise in Kharian only a few days ago. Now the purpose of the drill again in Jhelum’s Tilla firing range seems to be an attempt to sell its weapons to Jordan. Therefore, the ‘Raad-ul-Fatah’ exercise was organized with the King of Jordan as the chief guest.
Sources also said that during this time, Asim Munir himself was seen driving the official jeep of GHQ with number plate 786, in which the military chief of Pakistan usually sits.
