Perhaps it was right of Trump to withdraw US security aid for a country whose alliance is suspect, not only because of their military ties to mainland China, but also because terrorist Osama Bin Laden was found hiding not far from the site of Pakistan's military academy back in 2011.

In addition to the news on the article below, Pakistan just tested their first indigenously developed antiship missile.

Pakistan shops for warships to replace British frigates, modernize Navy
By: Usman Ansari   3 hours ago

ISLAMABAD — Pakistan’s Navy is acquiring new warships as part of a fleet expansion and modernization program to replace six Type 21 frigates acquired from the British in the 1990s.

The service also seeks to meet increasing domestic requirements while maintaining regional security commitments.

A naval spokesman told Defense News that a “contract has been placed in June 2017” for one Type 054A Jiangkai II frigate featuring the same sensors and weaponry as Chinese ships. An order for two more is under consideration.

(...SNIPPED)
