KARACHI: Pakistan is capable of defending its maritime frontiers, the country’s naval chief said on Saturday, as he inducted three state-of-the-art 2400 TD hovercraft to further strengthen the navy’s operational capabilities, according to an official statement.
Admiral Naveed Ashraf made the remark while visiting forward posts in the country’s creek region, where he reviewed operational preparedness and combat readiness.
Addressing officers and men on the occasion, he said the induction of the new platforms symbolized the Pakistan Navy’s vision to modernize and bolster the country’s defense.
“We know how to defend our sovereignty and every inch of our maritime frontiers from Sir Creek to Jiwani,” he said, according to a statement circulated by the Directorate General Public Relations.
Ashraf reaffirmed the navy’s “defense capabilities stand as strong as our unwavering morale, from the shores to the sea.”
