No no no. This is a delaying tactic seen countless times before to allow the terrorists breathing space to reorganise and rearm. Mr Rehman is power hungry and is using their cause for his own means.

Yep those are Eurofighters not Rafales. The Rafale has its intakes more side mounted and are not as box like as the Typhoons.

For the Fiscal Year 2008 the US military Budget is $623 billion :woot::cheesy::woot: By comparison it is estimated in 2005 Pakistan spent $4.3 billion and India $19 Billion. Source: World Wide Military Expenditures

But as the male and females cannot breed together they are not considered to be a new species. (YAY my A level Biology Lessons have finally paid off!!!)

Excluding the bills for Iraq the last time I saw the US defence budget it was running into the $400 billion + area.

Nothing wrong with trying though Muse.

Thanks Blain I should have said that in terms of Technology it has the ability to bring Pakistans Armoured Corps on par with the Indian army.

Guys these missiles are in service but are NOT fully operarational which is what I should have said in my earlier post. Furthermore, I am sceptical about the capabilities of these weapons against other hardware on the International market but unfortunately due to global politics these may be...

Despite its size it has an excellent power to weight ratio as well as wide tracks to negotiate softer terrain. Also it weighs a few tonnes less than the like of the M1 Abrams and Challenger 2.

Some of the new transport helicopters the Italians are using are pretty good in particular the AW109 and AW139 the latter being in the same league as Hueys and looks a cheaper option than Eurocopters NH90

You have to bear in mind that Al Zarar is a force multiplier and a stop gap before Al Khalid 2 is introduced.

The good thing is the delayed seeker so it can pass over an area with civilians without being armed.

C130s are transport planes for the most part unless you stick a daisy cutter in the back and Pakistan is getting sniper pods for its F16 fleet.

HQ9/FT 2000 and KS1A are nothing more than wishlist items that even the Chinese are not using in service. For the long range air defence the Chinese have large numbers of Soviet S300PM1 and S300PMU2.

I agree with strategy but not superior American arms. World War 2 era M4 Shermans upgunned by the Israelis were taking out newer Soviet supplied T54/T55s that the Syrians were using. The superior training of the Israelis makes them a force to be reckoned with.

It was 6 put aside for possible resale. This was mentioned in the AFM issue with the interview with Tanvir Mahmood in the Farnborough air show section under a news article about the Italians ordering newer CH47Fs. I quoted it word for word in the thread about the interview.

Hi Fatman, unfortunately I am at University in Falmouth Cornwall some 6 hours away from London so I will not be able to meet up this time. If you give me a contact number by PM I might be able to speak with you by phone for a bit.

The F16 with the ABC labels is the F16 I Sufa for Israel which features Israeli avionics as well.

By all means practise Islam NOT Talabanic Barbarism.

Much of the same US equipment like APCs and missiles that Pakistan uses are also or were in service with Italy. They have used licence manufacture of such equipment to build their own designs to their specific requirments so any cooperation with them is a good thing.
