The Army Rocket Force will be equipped with modern technology, aiming to match capabilities with its nuclear-armed arch-rival.

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan will create a new force in the military to supervise missile combat capabilities in a conventional conflict, apparently a move to match the neighbouring arch-rival India.

Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif announced the creation of the Army Rocket Force late Wednesday at a ceremony held in Islamabad to commemorate the worst conflict in decades with India in May.

The ceremony was held a day ahead of Pakistan’s 78th Independence Day.
