Mate you need to understand that ultimately nations survive on economics, not uncalled for chest thumping or declarations of sovereignty. And as far as economics go Pakistan has a comparative advantage versus GCC states when it comes to manpower and military might. We had the ability to...

Just wildly speculating here given the source of the image cannot be verified. But they are mercenaries. Who said they intended to spend their prize money in Pakistan or live in Pakistan once done?

I recommend you read before you post something like "Grow up man". Read the first word he wrote in his comment. He's pretty much saying the same thing you did.

An air force which will be able to defend its soil when faced with a reasonable enemy is a leading air force. Let me give an analogy. You say IAF is a leading air force right?. Would it be able to stand against USAF?. No right?. Does it mean its not a leading air force?. No. You would argue...

My argument still stands. If you could do it, you would have already done it. What has changed now is that China is a much more advanced nation than it was back then, much more politically active. If you were to leave the door completely open to attack (and yet not occupy) a nation 1/6 of...

Its funny how you mentioned the nukes yet you conveniently forgot to take into account how those nukes act as a deterrent to the deployment of those 272 MKIs. You are ignorant to think that you will have the luxury to deploy all your assets on the west. After all, no state in this region is...

No one ever gives the source. You reverse engineer it by decompiling the assembly language. I dont think the swedes can do any thing about that. Though doing a big task such as writing up an interface would be challenging.

Currently I see a submarine workshop empty there. But yes, if Pakistan plans on constructing 6 or so subs, it will need more yards.

We have the production capacity I believe, its about the ToT right not I think which is not fully complete. I saw chinese engineers working, around a team of 80, which means the ToT is underway. Once it is underway, you can build up the production capacity if needed. Though I pretty sure KSY can...

Saw a F-22 P under construction at KSY today. The hull looked complete. Although the year end team will get certified figures as to percentage of completion, they said it'll be ready by 2013.

The best option might be co-developing new avionics / radar with an already established entity, maybe the italians for that matter. You should be able to jump the startup problems and quite seriously reduce the time to get up to speed. Plus since everyone seems to be going for French, US or...

@Black Blood: The list of different types of cyber warfare you have provided is exactly what I would like to point out to. With the exception of spamming which is an entirely different aspect of such warfare, others such as trojans, spywares, phishing etc are all based on retrieval of...

Actually I for one am not convinced that cyber warfare is the way to go. The one off hacking events that have happened (e.g. Pentagon) etc, are I believe just due to the fact that agencies around the world do not give priority to safeguarding against cyber warfare. Once it becomes a sizeable...

Its 'speculation'. I'm no expert, but don't you think they would have received the signatures when they were messing around in the no-fly zone?

I was listening to the USAF pilot's commentary on the Red Flag exercise and he said IAF Mig-21 Bison with their upgraded jammers were invisible to legacy F-16 radars. In that case have PAF F-16s received an upgrade?

First let me make an observation. If I were to ever to learn unbiased reporting or opinion making, el nino would be a major source of help....after all he would be a perfect example how NOT to do my job. Firstly, I am not sure about this, but I believe even in case of a war india will not...

I doubt that US COAS suggested PAF allow a couple of surgical air-strikes by IAF, he wont travel all that way to propose something which has no chance of being accepted. Damn man, I would love to see some PAF activity over Karachi!...I want morale boosting too :)

Logic dude......logic. - Yes I too believe limited air strikes is out of the question. If such an air strike is to be made, it must be made in an area not defended by air defenses, and few routes, if any, from India are not guarded by air defenses. Indians wouldn't risk loosing air planes in...

Isn't that what I am saying too?. There's no logic as to why a Pakistani intel agency would plan such an attack which meant that the terrorists would be captured and identified (or killed and identified) Well, going to a war footing or making direct accusations is pretty much making it...

But investigating the hand of Pakistan army or ISI is absolutely a no-brainer. Can you answer my question here?: http://www.defence.pk/forums/230320-post67.html (I'm not saying you are saying its right, but I can't see why people are even considering this). I saw the POF bullets evidence...
