Thats an important point; if something of this scale were to take place near the capital or key military installations of any other country, there is no way it could go undetected. It is such a crucial failure on the part of the armed forces of Pakistan that it completely bursts the bubble of...

We never bought the f-16s for the Western border, even though we can essentially only use them effectively on that side, but it was meant to counter the Indian threat. The old mirages can adequately bomb terrorist locations...what we need is a counter to the Indians and on that side the f-16s...

As much as I love the f-16, any and all dollars spent on its procurement have been a waste...the sad reality that they were utterly useless after the Soviet Invasion of Afghanistan ended has made for a very expensive show piece. I do hope we learn our lesson, but the problem with having leaders...

Im no expert on Indian press, but does this person ever have anything nice to say about India...I mean there must be atleast a couple of good things going on in India...sigh, if India's economic success is a lie, please teach us how to lie like this.

Thats not true, the f-35, with an internal load will fly in essentially clean configuration, making it equal, if not more maneuverable than its 4th generation contemporaries. The maneuverability isnt irrelevant because it isnt agile, its just the combination of top of the line electronics and...

hmm, point taken. Youre right, got a little carried away.

How can someone be so deluded and full of themselves? Nawaz Sharif is further from good looking than Zardari is from being honest. On what basis did he think he had a chance with an American, career oriented woman...sigh...is this how these guys run Pakistan as well, lost in delusions of...

I disagree a little bit. With the advancement of technology and the globalization of military assets, there is no need for a fighter to have been involved in a war. Even though, in the case of the Eurofighter and Rafale, they have now seen action in Libya. I think it serves no purpose as most...

I kind of get your point but got lost in that glass story. I agree with your assessment of the Rafale having the hype machine behind it and the Chinese having to suffer due to the misguided opinion that the Chinese lack the technological sophistication to succeed in the aircraft market. On the...

When will we stop blaming the Americans for the problems facing us? We have to eliminate these terrorist...these were not 200 Americans that attacked us, but we continue to conveniently blame them when anything goes wrong. Between India and America, apparently everything that happens in our...

ah awesome thread! I say the ws-15 only provides 12 kn...prove me wrong! I dare you all! [sarcasm] What is the statistical backing for opening this thread, much less even making a post of that sort?

Women being able to wear skirts and showing their body isss freedom...it is not about the moral or vulgar aspect of this that is important...the importance is in the freedom allowed anyone to live the way they chose. A women, like a man, should have every right to live the way she wants, and to...

Much of the American/Nato failure in Afghanistan has to do with the lack of real interest the west has in Afghanistan...Pakistan on the other requires the terrorist to be dealt with, in order to preserve its existence. Why are people failing to understand the stakes...we are not going to survive...

These are the kind of over the top generals on both sides who in their bravado have kept the hostilities going for over 60 years, amazingly, completely overshadowing the initial disagreement over Kashmir...it is not about kashmir anymore, it is essentially a competition of whos more of a...

Common guys, no need for the circular arguments about funding and IAF superiority, both exist, and both have become increasingly exaggerating in attempts to score points. With the strength of the Pakistani military establishment, they essentially control the country, if they really want...

I agree with your viewpoint, but just lament the consequences of such a move...regardless of the intentions, it is likely to lead to racism...whenever a group is cast aside, there are casualties, now if the majority are drug peddlers or the minority are...many will suffer...at this point it is a...

What are you talking about my friend? Read my other posts if you so please, I react the same way if this is Pakistan, India, or any third country. Man made boundaries are secondary to me, far behind humanity. I am not swayed by a few years of discontent between our nations, when we spent...

Thats a very relevant point, we've seen this tactic of hiding in the civilian populations in all guerrilla warfare based conflicts. It serves the dual purpose of limiting their own casualties and then using the death of civilians, which is their fault to begin with, as a propaganda tool to show...

I dont understand why the general Russian response has been so childish to the rejection of the MRCA, they had the weakest aircraft to offer and rightly lost...it seems illogical to react so strongly as to potentially alienate their biggest customer...the mig-29 is nowhere near as important as...

This is a pretty clear case of racism...whenever a large percentage of a population is differentiated upon race, regardless of "reasoning", it usually is racism. The drug problem is probably real, but to typify the whole African contingent as part of some cartel is wrong indeed. It comes down...
