Hi MastanSirji, Don't you think that IAF would properly factor out the losses of MKIs in an Indo-Pak war scenario? After all IAF does take part in war games with other nations and slowly this will include regular engagements with advanced militaries. So IAF will know what to expect. For PAF...

This only shows how much Chinese and Indians need foreign expertise in developing top-notch systems, with of course China being broadly better than India --- a comparison that assumes significance only when Chinese and Indian members go hammer and tongs at each other.

Hi Mr. Agnostic, My thread titled 'ISI & the buried truths about Mumbai' was deleted by you with the reason 'another unsubstantiated article and thread'. This was from a reputed Indian daily 'The Hindu'. I had not even changed the title and provided the link too. Could you clarify why the topic...

This 'sufficient evidence not there' is the point where Indian and Pakistani official views diverge. You are correct that not much is known about whether the information in the dossiers provided by India contains enough evidence to stand in a court of law. Home minister Chidambaram says that the...

In that case i guess that IN will have to rely on its anti-missile systems. Israeli help is being sought in this regard. And numbers do make a difference as is the case for IN in comparison to PN. I am getting out of this thread for now as i am not knowledgeable enough.

All right Mr. Growler, you may optimistically hope that PN will get the SM-2 and i will optimistically hope that even if your optimism is validated Brahmos will still be a very potent weapon as not all of them can be intercepted. If some Brahmos can be intercepted even then Brahmos will be...

So it is not confirmed that Pakistan is getting the SM-2. No one is saying that for Pakistan Brahmos will remain invincible for time immemorial. We are questioning the possibility of how soon the PN will be able to field the system. Also the IN will not sit quiet with the induction of Brahmos...

Hard to believe that the firing was intentional unless it was unavoidable. But i was not there and i suppose that i have to take your word for it.

Mr RiazHaq, I do not know why your activities are solely limited to India-Pakistan comparisons and that too of a kind that equates or says that Pakistan is better than India in some important indicators of human development. On some issues you make decent points, but one will always put a...

Well yes, India to some extent probably lacked the stomach to fight. But please don't take this in terms of guts to wage a war. I am sure that the Indian political leadership has to take into account the fact public sentiment that will change as the contours of an Indo-Pak conflict too change...

Mr RiazHaq has replied to a thread that is almost 2 & 1/2 years old !!!

I don't think that people deny the fact that India received help in the development of missiles and satellite launch vehicles. What is debated is the nature of help. Was is simply something like imparting knowledge about the theoretical aspects of such systems or more detailed critical...

^^^^^^ You are being too negative. Every country goes through ups and downs. Right now Pakistan is in the dumps. India was is a stupid economic shape in 90-91. Somewhere down the line due to some prudent decisions we are in a better position now. Pakistan needs such a thing to happen. My...

IMF loan to Greece: unwarranted favour by Swaminathan S Anklesaria Aiyar Few Indians are interested in Greece’s fiscal crisis, or the proposed IMF loan of 15-25 billion as part of a European rescue package. But Indians should worry. IMF resources raised for low and middle income countries...

So what does this development mean? A realisation that a battle started must not be such that the enemy is allowed to regroup or a simple instance US pressure? Probably both. Hopefully this will make Afghanistan more stable. Good luck to Pakistan.

If the news is authentic then it is a good statement. If enough positive comments come from both sides, then animosity will reduce.

As India becomes stronger economically and militarily, she too will behave in not too different a manner...After all, all nations behave in similar ways...

Maybe the one with the better pilot... Other than that this thread may degenerate into a flame war.

I am not following that developments of Jf-17 that closely, but couldn't it be possible that Pakistan can get the airframe+engine only from China+Russia. This reduces the basic cost. Then all the subsystems and electronics can be outsourced. The cost will come down since it is said that around...

An off topic question...If LCA can be 4.5 gen for $25 million plus, then why do many members keep saying that when Jf-17 becomes near 4.5 gen (due to electronics upgrade) then its cost will easily exceed $25 - 30 million ? Surely LCA and Jf-17 must be similar in many aspects.
