    India, Pak should start joint anti-militancy operations'

    Used to, last time I saw an active Lashkar training camp was back in 2002, after which state policy with regards to armed groups changed under Musharraf. Haven't seen any active groups or recruiting since.

    Pakistanis, where would you choose to live in India, and vice versa!

    Yeah, it is, the centaurus tower still lacks the triangular side jetting building and taking a picture from this angle would be impossible as a triple underpass runs there. The real one when it was still under construction:

    India, Pak should start joint anti-militancy operations'

    Same old rhetoric, never proven, never validated and yet you continue to hark on to the same statement. However, when the media said that the airport attack terrorists had Indian support, I remember you quite passionately declaring the need to be objective and fact based, not driven by knee jerk...

    Pakistanis, where would you choose to live in India, and vice versa!

    Ah, you prefer more hostile terrain? In that case, you might want to come to Naran and then start trekking further as far as you can go. Its a beautiful expanse of sparsely populated mountains with vegetation at the vale where the river runs, the area is characterized by an abundance of glacial...

    Pakistan has placed order of Russian Gunship Helicopters - Dawn

    The Hind is particularly suited for COIN Ops, it carries an entire section with their kit to site, can provide CAS to ground troops and evacuate casualties. The reinforced underside of the helo also make it exceptionally resistant to ground fire. In short, its ideal for use against TTP in an...

    Pakistan has placed order of Russian Gunship Helicopters - Dawn

    If you have a problem with my rating or feel that it was issued for a reason you deem unjustified, you are more than welcome to refer your case to the Administrators. Whenever I give a rating, I also take the past record into consideration to determine whether it is only me who finds a...

    Post-mortem: Karachi Airport Attack

    Terrible, I think the relevant companies must be fined for taking official directives lightly and overlooking the need for insurance even though it is explicitly stated that cargo in transit or store must be insured. Now this is a matter of grave concern, I hope the loss was minimal and will...

    The raw material was intended for the manufacture of various medicines such as tablets, capsules, syrups, injections, creams and sachets. Additionally, 80 per cent of packaging materials such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC), aluminum foil, glass vials or rubber is also imported. Active...

    Post-mortem: Karachi Airport Attack

    Absolutely, the matter of primary concern is to limit civilian loss of life. As long as that end is met, any degree of loss to the LEAs can be justified in my book. Absolutely, the fact that they breached the outer perimeter allowed them the legitimacy and urgency that they had hoped to...

    Post-mortem: Karachi Airport Attack

    The ASF was not meant to deal with an attack of this magnitude, they held their own quite impressively. Then we saw the Rangers taking a proactive approach to addressing the matter and so we were able to contain the damage rather than letting the terrorists wreak havoc whilst everyone waited for...

    Operation Zarb-e-Azb | Updates, News & Discussions.

    Who says Doctors and Engineers can't be idiots? And what does their joining the TTP aim to prove? I don't care if someone from the TTP used to be the queen of England, everyone bleeds the same and everyone dies the same.

    Operation Zarb-e-Azb | Updates, News & Discussions.

    That's the nature of the TTP, it is a loose alliance between different militant groups with varying agendas and goals. As the pressure mounts, groups will desert the TTP and try to use the vacuum created by their absence to try and assert themselves as the top dogs. So we will continue to see...

    Duck & cover: Protective gear for ASF ' Substandard & useless'

    There is a regular QRF, my idea focuses around a QRF that is armed according to their role. For now, the concept of QRF is only built on mobility whereas a more suitable approach would involve incorporating superior fire power.
