Pakistan Surmounts Western Sanctions To Revive Airpower By Usman Ansari Published: 9 February 2009 Pakistan Surmounts Sanctions To Revive Airpower - Defense News ISLAMABAD - After years of coping with U.S. and international sanctions intended to keep Pakistan from going nuclear, the...

Go re-take macroeconomics. 40% of China's GDP growth can be traced to investments and infrastructure. Exports play a relatively minor role. Indeed, during the global slump of 2001 when exports dropped by a massive 35 percentage points, China's overall GDP growth was barely dented (about...

Yes, some of the early combat aircraft were copies. I don't deny that at all. Be mindful of the position that China was in right after 1949 when the PRC was founded. A country that was devastated by foreign invasion, civil wars, and the KMT running off with all of China's wealth to Taiwan...

Try coming to China and tell that to commoners. 9 out of 10 people think that the CCP is doing a good job and leading the nation into the right direction. In fact, PEW released a poll last year that supports my point. Sure, there are few Chinese who are upset, and they are typically the...

J-11, a licensed production. True. But J-11B has over 70% chinese components that were done by China, unlike the MKI's upgrades which were done by Russia. J-10. Based off the cancelled J-9 fighter, a 1960s design which featured the canard configuration. Pre-dates the Lavi by a long time...

Friend, Please link to me to a combat aircraft currently in IAF service that is indigenously designed and built. The sad truth is, only very few countries in the world are capable of making their own frontline combat aircraft. The USA, Russia, China, and France are the main four...

Indian news sources are unreliable. So-called pirate "mother-ship" was in fact a Thai trawler, and that news wouldn't have even surfaced if not for a single survivor. Also, it was like the imaginary Chinese coco island SIGNIT base that never actually existed, which Indian media thought it...

Obviously we won't see the USSR make a dramatic return in-name. But something similar is starting to form, and it won't stop.

Russia is bringing back old Soviet satellites back into its sphere of influence. I believe this is where China and Russia can cooperate, by blocking NATO expansionism and making the world more multi-polar.

That, is indeed Putin's plan. And we are seeing signs of that everywhere. The man is not afraid to use violence and coercion to get what he wants, and he's not afraid to admit it.

India may benefit more in the short-run, but I believe China's plan of action will benefit much more in the long-run. Pakistan has also just begun assembly line production for the JF-17. While it may not be as advanced as what India is able to purchase, the experience of serial production...

Hogwash. It's really funny when Foreigners are more upset that Chinese live under a dictatorship than the Chinese who actually live under that dictatorship. This of course begs the question: if Chinese like their unelected leaders more than foreigners like their elected leaders, is there...

Indian members here like to pick and choose what they want to hear. Everytime I made a comment about this "incident," I had always said that "Assuming this article is true." Right now, the validity is debatable with no definite proof coming from either side.

Much more different. If the purpose of the mission was to gather SIGNIT and ELINT, you do not surface to "show off." These types of missions are extremely clandestine, and the mere fact that it's spreading on the internet means that it was not successful. All sources reporting on this...

That's because that Song was never detected. The Indian sub was pinged furiously by Chinese warships. In which case, you either surface and raise the white flag or get blasted out of the water. I don't agree with your premise. When your sub is discovered and pinged like that, you are...

I don't agree with shadowing the CVBG and surfacing only 5 miles away to make a political statement. That Song could have very well been blown out of the water.

Extremely provocative move by China, which was most likely done in order to make a strong political statement. I don't agree with it.

A lot of that doesn't make any sense. Try forming coherent arguments. First of all, As I've said many times before; assuming this incident actually took place, the Indian sub was detected twice and forced to surface. A submarine's greatest asset is its stealth and invisibility in the...
