Same old wine in new bottles. It is a plain and simple fact that we must wrap our heads around - anyone who belongs to the PPP or supports them is corrupt to the core and had the same wadera mentality which is all about enslaving people. PPP's pathetic performance has not been due to capacity...

Well said.

Can't wait for the Type 054APs to fly the Pakistani flag at events like this. The Zulfiqar class are good ships, but we need bigger, more flashy hardware for the optics.

There were some reports/discussions of a new Submarine Salvage and Rescue Vessel for the PN during the past few years. What became of that?

I smell a rat in the NDMA vaccine procurement process. Lack of transparency is a key symptom of major ripoffs of national wealth.

Can someone link me to Gen Tariq's interview that has been mentioned in some posts here?

I'm really curious. What DID happen the last time?

It is interesting to note that the feasibility and system definition study for the navigation satellite program and spaceport have been allocated the remaining amount. This means that these studies will probably be completed in the upcoming fiscal. Also the feasibility of PRSS-S1 has also been...

Hello Bilal. I've sent an email to the Quwa premium email address. Is it active? If not, please share another email address.

I feel so sad to see this absolute hatred being spewed by the rest of the country against Karachi and Karachiites on this thread. Shame on us if we are condemning the Zionist oppression against Palestinians and the Indian oppression against Kashmiris but at the same time are unjustly and...

Karachi is the hen which lays golden eggs. I fail to understand why the rest of the country blames Karachiites for 'electing' PPP. Karachi is a multi-ethnic, multi-linguistic, multi-cultural city. It is not Lahore or Pindi, not even close. The government deliberately fudged the census...

Oh look! The little modern-day Führer is building his own little Germania. Wonder who his Albert Speer is.

This goes to show that there was no progress on any of the projects mentioned by Fawad Chaudary during the tenure of the previous Information Minister, Shibli Faraz. Fawad has done some good work over at the S&T Ministry and now that Faraz has been installed there, the S&T initiatives and...

@JamD I see you have an engineer's love for flowcharts. I'm not an economist; like @JamD, I'm an engineer (senior year actually) and I also suddenly feel the need and urge to study macroeconomics on my own time. I'm not educated enough to comment on what all of you have discussed here. Most of...

Classic examples of bureaucratic apathy-turned-criminality, commercialization of health, breakdown of basic human decency and absolute zero sense of shame. As I've said before, 'There's a point, far out there, where the structures fail you. Where the rules aren't weapons anymore, they are...

The 'softies' in our civilian and military leadership have, once again, thrown us to the dogs. The state has been trying to appear as the 'good kid' by adopting an attitude of peace towards India. This approach of appeasing the world will not work. India is a rabid dog and must be dealt with as...

Just as India gave bad publicity to Russian hardware, Nigeria has the potential to give bad publicity to Pakistani hardware. I hope the PAF trains them well. Not just in flying, but in maintenance, logistics and safety as well.

I suppose that seniority won the day. Good choice by the PM. Good to see that HP will be VCAS. The PAF needs the experience of these veterans. The lessons of Swift Retort will go a long way in making the PAF even more lethal. Hopefully the new CAS will take the PAF to greater heights.

In my humble opinion, AM Jawad Saeed and Haseeb Paracha are the strongest contenders despite being at the lower end of the list. AM Noman and Zaheer are serving at, if I can dare say that, 'dead-end' appointments. Just like AM Arshad Malik. He was the senior most and a great gentleman officer...

Another interesting outcome of the Avro Arrow program is the brain drain caused by its cancellation. With the Aroow being the only ambitious and absolute cutting edge engineering program in Canada at that time, it's cancellation scattered the skilled human resource across the world. A large...
