To add to the discussion, we have to understand that the PAF's system of performance evaluation and eventually, promotion is designed in such a way that only the all-rounders make it to the top. You need to be a great leader with all the 'soft' skills, the intellect and the ability to inspire...

Agreed. No one else. A start should be made on this I think. 'The lowest places in hell are reserved for those who maintain their neutrality in times of moral crisis.' I like to think that we forward-thinkers (if I can dare to call myself that) have a responsibility to saying what must be...

Thank you @JamD for tagging me. I still haven't graduated yet, but I've had my first (and I hope to God its the last) taste of these fauji uncle/sitting-on-their-butt/darbari types - 1) by studying at a military college 2) by working on some aspects of some of the projects that Admiral Zafar...

Thank you for this As a born Karachiite, it is sickening to hear the remarks of most of the people on this thread. Goes to show how poorly Karachi is understood by the rest of the country. The PPP is like a colonial power, their tentacles extend into every sphere of society. The bureaucracy...

Stories like this kill a part of me everyday. The truth is that Pakistan is firmly under the grip of a deep state. And no, this is not the Establishment per se. It is all of those mafias, those vested interests, land grabbers, sugar barons, wheat kings, media supremos, white-collar criminals...

'They don't make 'em like this anymore' Thank you for posting this great historical assett. It has a very Cold War-esque feel to it, a lot like the British or US documentaries from the 1950s and 60s. The documentaries made today have more jingoistic vibes to them rather than any substance -...

The range has probably been wrongly reported. Babur-1A's last test mentioned a 750km range. The Babur-3 SLCM has a range of 450km. Also, can anyone identify the logo in the picture below?

I have seen the real imagery from the PRSS-O1 and PakTES-1A satellites launched in 2018. Both can be used for this purpose. SUPARCO is already experienced in doing space-based land use and crop monitoring. They have the manpower and resources for this.

I fail to understand why KNOWN Indian accounts spreading fake news aren't banned on PDF. The way the situation is, we shouldn't be conceding even an inch of breathing space to Indian propagandists and yet here we are, having given them a free run of the forum. The India of today is the...

No other nation in the history of the entire human race has been subjected to such a focused and unrelenting campaign against its very existence. Pakistan has been, from the very day of its founding, been at the mercy of parasites and traitors who have sold their souls to the devil and have...

"There's a point far out there, when the structures fail you. When the rules aren't weapons anymore, they're shackles" - Commissioner Gordon, TDKR "When plunder becomes a way of life for a group of men in a society, over the course of time they create for themselves a legal system that...

ISPR press release states that test was aimed at 'revalidating' design parameters which means that SOME changes have been made. It's not MIRV obviously, but this is probably an upgrade similar to that from Shaheen-1 to Shaheen-1A. The Shaheen-1A was a huge step up with improved terminal...

Siloed planning is probably the number one reason. However, and this is a wild guess, there may be a pressing need for such a capability in light of an increased tempo of operations against terrorist elements along the Western border and beyond. The exim logs data probably reflects 5 units...

Upload them to google drive or some other cloud service and share the link here. All of us would like to read it.

Pakistan is not the UK. For developing countries, specially ones where a majority of the population doe snot pay taxes and where more than 40% of the economy is undocumented, the govt can not be the primary employer. It is an unsustainable way to govern and no progress can be expected. Please...

Wrap your head around this fact: GOVERNMENTS CAN NOT ACT AS PRIMARY EMPLOYERS. Governments can facilitate the private sector,stimulate demand, incentivize investors and thus stimulate employment in various sectors of the economy. The National Job Portal is meant to serve as the primary point...

Shahrae Faisal and Clifton are filled with hundreds of these tiny 'companies' which are involved in scamming international customers, stealing their credit card details, personality theft and IP theft. The FIA can't even make a scratch in the surface. Poor pathetic guys.

The optics of these security meetings have changed ever since IK came into power. Look at the seating arrangement. The PM - chief executive of the country - sits at the head of the table with the heads of the two arms of the security apparatus, the armed forces and the intelligence on his left...

Yes and no. HVDC is concerned with the transmission segment. Generation is still AC. The conversion from AC to DC for transmission requires expensive and complex equipment. This is still feasible for new installations such as the Lahore-Matiari transmission line which will work at 660kV DC.

This is the main thing that the govt should focus on. Technically, when a power plant goes into fault state it should isolate itself from the grid. Because if the frequency of a single generator drops, it risks pulling down the frequency of the entire grid system it is connected to. In this...
