    Featured SSK Agosta 90B Class Attack Submarine Information Pool

    About 20 odd years, they are going through MLU at about 20 years in service. A-70s are still around, but likely not much longer as newer incoming should be replacing them. You can base the lifetime in service off Daphine ( 40 odd years ) and now A-70s as at 40+ years. A-90s are still very...

    Rename/Rebranding Pakistan Airforce To Pakistan Aerospace Force?

    Both Russia ( USSR ) and US have been to space since the late 60s. Lets put a man in space first then perhaps start a separate Armed forces Division, let's say "Pak Space Force", draw specialized / qualified folks from PAF, PN, PN Marines and PA and build it up. To get to that stage, lets...

    Rename/Rebranding Pakistan Airforce To Pakistan Aerospace Force?

    You mean rebrand PN to Pakistan Aerospace Force ? Then Admiral Sheik Rasheed could Command the PNS "PIB Colony" Space Ship, however a Contingent of PAF pilots could pilot the Thunder Fighter ( ref: Buck Rogers in 25th century ) PS: Sorry mods for going off topic, I just couldn't resist it.

    Pakistani and Other Asian Telcos Were Attacked by Iran-Backed Hacker Group: Report

    Though a Satire to me it seems, but spot on as far as thinking by junta / powers -to-be it so seems. Like folks who use simple Wi-Fi no-login, no passphrase with assumption as to who will do anything wrong by joining their wireless connection.

    No, VLS or no, it's still great that PN is adding teeth to it's sub fleet. PS: Not sure if PLAAN fields any active SSK with VLS anyway, can't recall one. Correct me if I are wrong.
