So you support the Holocaust and are an anti-Semite?

True, but the plane with better avionics and performance but worse trained pilot still has some advantages. Personally I think people saying X has better pilots than Y is a useless argument, both sides will have good pilots and not so good pilots, they are not identical just because they have...

That is my point, India would be crippled and Pakistan destroyed so saying India has more to lose is a void point.

It would just make the Israelis hit harder. Personally I don't see what everyone is worked up about, Hamas started this fighting and Israel responded with overwhelming force. Yes it is sad that civilians are being killed but it was Israeli civilians being targeted that started it off. Put...

Not really, when two BVR fighters meet there are a lot more factors than training and tactics. Who has more altitude, better kinetic performance, longer range missiles, better radar/lower RCS to choose the conditions to fight (to some extent), better ECM's and better missile systems (far more...

India has a no first use policy if I am right and besides, Pakistan is far more likely to launch a first strike than India. So it would be India making sure no piece of Pakistan remains, actually does Pakistan have enough nukes to take out the whole of India?

That is a pretty big wish list there and a lot of it would require a major redesign of the airframe.

Unless you have had experience of both training methods then you are no authority on this matter.

In absolute terms India may lose more than Pakistan, although in relative terms Pakistan would lose more in a nuclear exchange. India's economy may be crippled and a lot of people killed, but it would survive to some extent while Pakistan as an organised state would be almost annihilated.

I haven't really had a chance to put much ammo through an M4 of any variety, although from when I have I loved it. Nice and light (especially compared to the SA80), superb handling and good accuracy. Seemingly very suited for close in work, only concern is that the bullet might not fragment when...

One last point, if Japan had put its effort into making a nuke it would have come about because of a completely different doctrine. With defeating the enemy through strategic bombing being a major part of it, (getting a bomber that can carry something that heavy all the way from Japan to the US...

They didn't even have aircraft that could carry a nuclear bomb, let alone reach the US without the Island Chain or Aircraft carriers. The US would have no fear of a Japanese Nuclear attack on the US because the Japanese wouldn't have the resources or ability to attack them, it would simply make...

If you used tactical nuclear weapons so would they, then it would escalate.

Originally they were going to be used on advanced Warsaw Pact armoured units, then when the Soviets threatened to use strategic nuclear weapons if this happened the idea was scrapped. They would however be used as a threat to stop the Soviets advancing beyond the Rhine while Western forces...

The Japanese would need a suitable delivery mechanism first, if they had nukes they wouldn't be able to deliver them to the US mainland. It would stop any invasion of the home islands before it began as they would surely use them on any ground force. It would result in a full blockade...

That is the situation I had in mind that would necessitate a last resort option, in this case nukes. I had the impression that people were advocating the use of nuclear weapons at the opening of hostilities. Either way if nukes are used against any target in the region I would be quite sure it...

By that logic Germany should be lower. Oh and I am not going to post my own list, there are far too many variables to count in. There is also a massive question of whether the list is for overall power or quality. It is also a blatant pissing contest.

North Korea would not be helped by China, relations aren't as good as they once were. If there was a war between North and South Korea then most likely China would invade North Korea as North Korean forces get beaten in the south. They certainly have the forces in place.

Are you advocating the killing of NATO troops?

But why sign your own death warrants? Surely Pakistan would only use nukes as a last resort. Any nuclear exchange would devastate both countries.
