The World Doesn't Have a Pakistan Nukes Problem ... It Has a David Albright Problem By Peter Lee May 20, 2009 "Counterpunch" -- - As AFP tells us, the Institute for Science and International Security just published a report on Pakistan’s nuclear program that seems designed to pour...

10,000 men protecting N-assets: official By Kamran Yousaf Thursday, 28 May, 2009 | 04:16 AM PST | DAWN.COM | Pakistan | 10,000 men protecting N-assets: official ISLAMABAD: A senior official of the country’s premier defence nuclear establishment has said that a large force of nearly 10,000...

Without being much technical ... One must agree that LCA has better looking cockpit then Su-30MKI.

On the contrary Obama administration is appears to be more willing to sell weapons (& F-16s) to Pakistan then Bush admin in its last days. If I am not mistaken last time the concerns were raised on F-16s to Pakistan in Congress they were dealt down by a democrat (& not a republican) in favor of...

Well in current scenario IAF is being offered F-16 and PAF/Pakistan said they will not be hurdle in the deal (like anyone can be when it comes to it). India and Pakistan armed forces follow a doctrine of surprise. Similar weapons are welcomed but same weapons can give away surprise in battle...

These could be anything. Perhaps newer avionics and weapons system for Mirage III and V which have recently been upgraded by PAC to have A2A refueling (they number around 30 to 50). PAF could have shown interest in UAE's Mirage2000-9 (as UAE is going to sell them and purchase Rafales) and...

There isn't such theory. PAF was negotiating mirage2000s in 1990s when IAF had them from 1980s. PAF was negotiating Qatar Mirages as well (IAF still had them and they continue to posses them). Turkey is one of the largest F-16 operator that did not stop Greece, their greatest enemy, from buying...

I don't think French have Mirage III, IV and V any more.

Same story different versions. As soon as they realized that India can pay more money and can be interested in latest technology (when they heard of Boeing preparing to offer F-18E/F and Europe EF-2000) they took away the Mirage deal and put Rafale on table. It was not just about the money they...

They stopped producing Mirage2000 but the production line is still intact. French are discouraging its production to increase the demands of Rafale. They were not denied to India. AFAIR IAF was going to purchase 126 Mirage2000 and French were waiting for the deal to be signed and hit the...

National Defence University (NDU) - formerly National Defence College (NDC) - is also starting masters program for Civilians in Pakistan.

I think there is also Conflict and Peace Studies Institute in India (think P.R. Chari is professor there).

Do you want to be someone like Bharat Varma who is invited "just for a laugh" by media or do you want to be someone like P.R. Chari who is invited for a serious discussions? If you want to be like P.R. Chari I suggest studying in IR, War Studies, Strategic Studies etc ... I believe there is...

Yup ! I had Political Science, IR and Muslim History-&-Culture under my badge when I joined. I believe some changes have been made before the former Chairman Zafar Iqbal Cheema left. Now Rifaat Hussain is in charge and further changes in admission policy are under consideration. I recommend...

QAU's M.Sc degree "is" recognized internationally. Many of the DSS students join international institutes for further studies. Most of them go to Kings College for "War Studies" (Kings accept the degree with 3.5 GPA and admits in their MA War studies for 1 year, instead of regular 2)...

Well the thing is that the "analyst" department has been institutionalized in Pakistan (they had been institutionalized long time ago but only received importance recently). Now we call them "think tanks." Therefore if you are not working for a Think Tank you are not an analyst (or a credible...

Get an MSc. Degree from Quaid-I-Azam University Islamabad in Defence & Strategic Studies. If you have it in you and perform well you'll be considered a potential analyst from your 4th semester. Immediately after your MSc ISI, IB and various Research Institutes/Organizations will offer jobs...

ABMs or BMD will give India an elate sense of security (as one of our nuclear strategists puts it) but here are some important pointers that should not be sidelined. (This is just a general information ... not directed towards India or any other country for that matter). i. Too expensive to...

Was the interview take by some Chinese source or something? Most the answers have already been given by ACM, actually almost all of them have been. About KC-135. If we have to get them then PAF should start on it now. 2012 is when the last F-16s are delivered & if we start working on KC-135...
