Let me tell you people something. Musharraf banned or not does not matter. The media hates him, especially GEO and AAJ. ARY would be the 3rd one. Did nothing to EXPRESS & SAMAA but they have their solidarities with the senior channels. Remember how these channels were off the air for such a long...

I'll second and double you for that if its true. :chilli::chilli:

Probably the same place where PAF is buying Radar and Missiles for the JF-17. FRANCE. Capitalist world usually gives a damn about who you are as long as you can give them hard cash for their products.

I have asked around some of the reliable sources in Pakistan and even talked to JANES ppl (after a long time ... and now my cell credit is Rs. 3 only .. lol). Final word: News is not credible. But to make you ppl happy all I can say is there are 2 more Pakistani sources to go who usually have...

J-11 is Chinese Su-27 built under license from Russia/Sukhoi. J-11'B' on the other hand is free of Russian license. China terminated the license and started building its own Su-27 version (dubbed J-11B) couple of years back. This is the same story as with the F-6 in 1960s. First built under...

Well if India can occupy Kashmir under the might why can't China do so with Tibet. As far as we know internationally Tibet is not a disputed territory.

In addition to the above, the Chinese Muslim admiral Xeng Hi is said to be the 1st man from the "civilized world" to discover what is today called Americas. They found his map showing the continent. There are few errors e.g: North & South America as Islands rather than connected by Mexico. But...

Not to start a huge argument. The region started with the Indus Valley Civilization. There were two major cities from where this civilizations spurred up - The Harappa in Pakistani Punjab & the Moen-jo-Daro in Sindh, Pakistan. The name Indus comes from River Indus. Which river Indus? The one...

Hmm ... Interesting. How? You mean militarily or politically? (Serious answer plz).

You guys are missing something out & I don't blame you since most of the articles/news posted here are not giving the clear picture (may be the journalists are not really in to explaining things). The 2nd test was not launched by scientists & engineers for a technical test. It was launched by...

F-22 Raptor cost $150 Million + , not the EF-2000. EF-2000 was coming at similar price as F-18 (last I checked). I'll try confirm its price.

Just curious; whats the source of what you are saying?

Yes there are some concerns & at one point (as I have heard) PAF showed more interest in KJ-2000 than Y-8 based KJ-200 AEW&C System. We might opt for different smaller platforms (like; SAAB-2000, ATR-45) or may be even a large size aircraft like IL-76 (which I don't believe would be feasible...

With the Chinese there is talk of ToT. After all they built one of the 3 AWACS completely for PAF. Remember the 1996-1997 meeting with Chinese authorities when IAF was buying Phalcons? As I recall the PLAAF's chief's words were "[Don't worry] ... we'll come up with something" I don't think...

Didn't find proper thread so decided to post here instead. The word out there is that Pakistan is buying Mi-35 Hind attack/transport helicopters from Russia & a team of pilots is already in training. There is already a single Mi-35 unit with PA for evaluation purposes. Remember this is a...

Hi guys.... hotel internet very expensive Just wanted to put something. I got carried away the other time under irritation, priotism & I was also in a hurry. Gwadar has 2 objectives: 1. Economic 2. Military Leaving economic aside the military objectives are: a. Strategic...

As I said it doesn't matter what technology you have, its always the strategy. Wrong strategy means waste of technology. The Gwadar maritime strategy I just laid out is strategic option, there are operational & tactile options. Surely you do not believe PN is sailing in wooden ships with long...

Again the Bharak Karnad mentality. Not looking beyond the present & the animosity. The situation in Afghanistan is a major problem but that does not wipe out the importance of these routs & ports. The issue is of getting oil & gas pipe-lines through Afghanistan as for the rest (even though...

I am in a bit of a hurry so in this post I have actually made mistakes of putting different answers to different quotes in couple of places. Please for give me but you'll get the idea - hopefully. Written by whom? Indians? If Indians than of course it would be a bias. Plus I have everything...

1st; You do realize that the shortest rout available to the Central Asians is Gwadar , than Karachi & than from Iranian ports in the Arabian sea (right now Bandar Abbass). The only problem is Pakistan's geographic dis-contiguity with Central Asian Republics (CARs). However, the CARs, especially...
