I must say Mr. Ahmad, your country has a mysteriously alluring magic in its landscape. Unlike our Alps that have been explored and done with, Afghanistan's mountains still have that mysterious beauty in them to be explored. If your country was not infested with Taliban at the moment, it'd...

I think there are a few reasons that have kept both sides at loggerheads: 1) American government's misunderstanding of the region 2) Extremist culture in the Middle East; religious law governing countries is sometimes misused 3) Rash actions by American government despite chances of...

Communism meant to control people without letting them have basic freedoms. The food, clothing etc is on allotment basis. You cannot question the government otherwise you'd never be heard of after that. You cannot think anything other than what the state wants you to think even if it is remotely...

Er... Why would Taranis be a threat to Pakistanis? It is not like Britain and your ties are anywhere close to sour at the moment. But it really is surprising why would Britain want an inter-continental bomber? Their potential threat lives right next door in Russia. You are not even remotely a...

The Korean Peninsula is heating up. I wonder what'd DPRK do in response.

You must be joking! So much land! 50 Switzerlands could come inside that! Though I am not a fan of Communist governments, I'd like to say that Taiwan better keep that map to its present levels unless it wants to start an all-Asia war in an already unstable region of the world. :lol:

At this rate, you might end up becoming the only country in the world to possess two simultaneous air forces. :lol:

Pakistan modeled exactly after Ataturk's Turkey would be an asset in your part of the world. A country that rose from the ruins that Allies had created which soon became one of the most progressive countries in the region is I think a sufficient example for your country to emulate in all...

So do you reckon a possibility of a Turkish strike into sovereign Iraq? If so, what could be the consequences since United States has been mulling a pull-out? Any likelihood for Turks to play significant role in Iraq in the near future?

I don't think Mr. Obama can take either sides completely. Turkey is valuable player for United States in middle east-Eurasia region while the Jewish lobby is too powerful in Washington to be antaonized. I believe that White House would be willing to play the role of mediator and solve the...

Not another one?! First it was the MiG-29Ks; then the tender for future naval aircraft, and now this? How many aircrafts are you intending to operate in naval combat roles?

There's nothing wrong in the first comment by Mr. faithfulguy. I know that this might sound sour to your ears as well as to the ears of all Indian members, but to be honest your country is not extra-ordinarily done something. China has been an export driven marker and despite all its drawbacks...

I feel that you Indians cannot play this game due to: 1) China and Taiwan are the same; same culture and similar language with only political differences 2) Recent warming of ties across Taiwan Strait. 3) Taiwan already gets help from United States when it comes to defense. 4) Even...

What danger do these countries face if Russia buys such a warship from French? It is not like they are expanding their already huge military. Saakaashvili already invited enough trouble to last Georgia a century; I don't think Estonians or any former Eastern Bloc states face a threat as long as...

It is such actions that put a black mark at your nation's image. I think more civic education needs to be spread in these regions. Despicable act. I won't be surprised if these 'men' would be running and hiding in their homes the moment a Taliban comes even if alone. Such people should be...

It is all your thinking, dear friend. Iran has been a source of attraction to powers ranging from Russian empire to British and rest of Europeans as well as the Americans in new generation. Also the American absolute alignment caused some problems about Washington pulling the political...

Pretty provocative title I must say, Mr.Jigs. What do you think Israelis would do? I'd be betting that they won't apologize nor allow an impartial inquiry because they suspect foul play against Israel in it. Do you think that it is time up for Israeli-Turkish ties?

This is very tragic. I wonder why is this now becoming an intra-religious violence? This madness of militancy has gone beyond any justification. My sincere condolences to all Pakistani members here and the families of the victims who died at the hands of these savage militants.

But the T-129 is a specially configured version for the Turkish military by Augusta Westland. TAI is assembled it but I doubt that AW would let Turkey re-sell something like that and gain 100% from it. Pakistan IMO has three options: 1) A-129 directly from AW 2) AH-64 directly from...

I recommended a similar thing. But considering the setbacks A-400M has been facing I wonder what and when would it be inducted in the member fleets. Also Pakistan not being a member nation, I think it would be the last to get the aircrafts.
