Once the IN procures the carrier they are fee to do with it whatever they please. The main question is how accurate is the news article? I have serious doubts about the ability of the Superhornet to take off using an angled ski jump. The IN should try their best to procure steam catapults for...

This data is the for Su30MK model, which I believe has different specs from the MKI version. Does someone have similar data on the MKI?

I fail to see the alarm or the novelty of this report. The IAF procured the Su30MKI because their earlier fleets of Mig21 fighters and Mig27 bombers were nearing the end of their service life. Its only natural that the Sukhois would replace them.

I have as yet to see any of them carry out an assassination or a bombing against any member of the Pak cricket team. They're certainly free to air their opinions despite it being obvious that nobody gives a hoot. Heck the IPL has even employed Shoaib Akthar, who was once penalized for being...

I don't know if the rigidity of the stance of the GoP can really be put at fault here. The power dynamic of the parties involved is extremely skewed and hence its not really possible for Pakistan to make any demands; not on this matter anyways. As I've said before, it's just a reality that has...

Afghanistan's airspace is under the jurisdiction of NATO. They can very well ensure that PAF does not intrude, especially for strike missions. The Pakistan forces would never dare trespass against the NATO and American forces either. The only way this scenario would change is if the operations...

The Afghani airspace is under the jurisdiction of NATO. I highly doubt the government of Afghanistan will tolerate any PAF strikes. The US on the other hand however will continue to bomb targets in Pakistan. Turkey took permission from the US to strike targets in Northern Iraq.

I don't think Gen Musharraf ever "approved" the US' unilateral strikes. If I'm not mistaken he was vociferously against them. The bottom line is that the US would like to minimize the involvement of the local forces as much as possible when going after certain targets because the intelligence...

Most of these places are extremely desolate and located in harsh terrains where it is dangerous and difficult to mobilize strike teams. Encirclement and siege operations usually result in more collateral damage which only further fuels the militant agenda. By and large most of the militants in...

I don't know of anything that the GoP can really do to stop the NATO strikes. The USA has made up its mind that it will keep striking targets within Pakistan because the local military forces are either unable or incapable of doing the same. Like it or not the US government also sees Pakistan as...

They may have been crazy about the Pindi express, but he could never live the kind of flamboyant superstar lifestyle he desired openly in Pakistan. What I want to see is that if the fulfillment of these desires serves as a positive reinforcement to his work ethic.

I don't know of a single example in modern history where a model of this sort has been self sustaining or at least achieved long term stability in addition to economic prosperity for a state equitable to Pakistan in its profile (i.e. not referring to say oil rich Arab states with long standing...

I think what Shoaib has always desired the most is mass adoration from the masses and recognition as a superstar. Given the popular culture that is developing in India these days, he may very well get his wish; provided of course he keeps his game up. I'd like to see if his behavior changes...

:what: could you please clarify your comment?

Ironically both sides have valid points. The rising economic mobility of people from 3rd world booming economies with large populations is certainly making an impact on the food prices all over the world. Subsequently the economists in India certainly make a valid point when they ask why...

This is good news. The Israelis are very proficient at making hi-tech weapon-systems aimed at minimizing collateral damage in anti-insurgency operations. Hopefully the Indian Armed forces will start inducting such systems in order to minimize their own loss of personnel and avoid long drawn out...

I don't know if the primary intention is to avoid paying Pakistan any transit fees; the issue is the turmoil in Western Pakistan that would make the pipeline running through the region a target. The gas line from Oman is a good idea given the good relationship between the two nations and I'm...

Perhaps such incidents can be avoided in the future if the government authorities held appropriate news conferences ensuring detailed updates of everything that is going on.

I fail to see the issue here. Geo already has media outlets in Urdu I assume; so what is the point of denying them a license to operate a channel in English?

It is a simple matter of economics. Any channel that airs in India is potentially an advertising cash cow. PTV will be a novelty item, at least for a while. People will have a fascination with what the state controlled Pakistani TV station airs and with that probability hordes of advertisers...
