\nChief of Defence Forces (CDF) and Chief of Army Staff Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir underscored the importance of continuous training, strengthening indigenous defence capabilities and maintaining unwavering operational readiness to stay ahead of emerging security threats and evolving challenges, the military\u2019s media wing said on Thursday.
\nHe said this during a visit to the headquarters of the Special Services Group (SSG) in Tarbela, where he reviewed the elite force\u2019s specialised training, operational preparedness and mission-oriented readiness, according to a statement issued by the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR).
\nDuring the visit, CDF Munir was briefed on the SSG\u2019s specialised training regime and operational capabilities.
\n\u201cHe also witnessed a display of state-of-the-art specialised equipment and a demonstration showcasing SSG\u2019s combat proficiency, agility and precision in executing special operations,\u201d the ISPR said. Addressing SSG officers and soldiers, the field marshal praised their professional conduct, strong morale and steadfast dedication to their responsibilities.
\nThe military chief was received by the SSG general officer commanding upon his arrival at the SSG headquarters. Later, CDF Munir laid a floral wreath at the Martyrs Monument and offered prayers for martyrs. The military has been modernising its operational capabilities, strengthening indigenous defence production and preparing troops for emerging forms of warfare.
\nA day earlier, Pakistan successfully conducted the flight test of its first indigenously developed Fa\u2019az air-to-air missile, marking a significant milestone in the advancement of the country\u2019s aerospace and defence capabilities. According to a statement issued by the ISPR, the missile is equipped with a state-of-the-art terminal guidance system and can engage enemy aerial targets at longer ranges.
\nSimilarly, in August, CDF Munir visited the Pakistan Ordnance Factory in Wah, where he reviewed its production capabilities, export potential and contribution to the country\u2019s defence industrial base. He also witnessed tests and trials of locally designed and manufactured arms and ammunition. The military highlighted ongoing indigenisation and industrial upgradation efforts during the visit.
\nBefore that, in May, the Pakistan Army successfully conducted a training launch of the indigenously developed Fatah-4 ground-launched cruise missile. According to ISPR, the exercise was aimed at enhancing operational efficiency and validating the technical parameters of the missile\u2019s various subsystems.
