Everything you said is certainly very valid in that India's preparations for all-out conflict vis a vis logistics would hit several snags, but that doesn't preclude the probability that our logistics situation would also be affected. Any conflict without the spectre of nuclear weapons between us...

First of all, I'm not an Indian. Second, do you have any idea how an escalation ladder works? It's not just limited to deploying munitions. If Pakistan raises an army of 1 million men through conscription, what makes you think the Indians won't do the same? And even if it isn't through...

Now that is a question which both illogical, blind ""patriots" and rational students of history can unanimously agree on: Bhutto's continued rule. It was "justified" by the death of his own people and the irrevocable separation of many more. The conflict in 1971(especially prior to Indian...

How exactly do you propose Pakistan does that? We'll never be at parity with the Indians in terms of manpower. It's not a question of patriotism, but of differences in population sizes. There is no way Pakistan can increase its military's size to match the Indians, not even if it introduced mass...

Not to mention how massively outnumbered the Pakistanis were in Bangladesh: facing a rebel insurrection (admittedly, of the Pakistani government's own making), cut off from reinforcements, aerial assets amounting to a single fighter squadron against many more enemy squadrons at a single airfield...

The two US soldiers were from 7th Group, US Army Special Forces (Green Berets). Names haven't been released yet.

Long story short: every dogfight footage in mainstream media (like movies and TV shows) is riddled with inconsistencies and plain exaggerations. In this particular case, the PAF knew full well how stupid and cringe-worthy the "dogfight" footage was. But lets be honest, would you (as an average...

The F16 has a better sustained turn rate than the Su-30MKI. The key word is "sustained." If you get both planes into a turning competition, you'll notice that the Sukhoi bleeds airspeed like crazy. Sure, its turning radius might be a match for or even better than the Viper's, but its turning...

It is a sad state of affairs when the valour of our soldiers and officers is known more to the enemy than to us. Of course, it comes with a wry sense of pride, but what does that say about how we so callously disregard our own veterans of 1971 and fail to distinguish between them and those...

What is the significance of the chequered pattern? Does it signify a kill?

Number 1 tourist destination for a reason, my friend. Who knew our biggest tourists wouldn't be Youtubers but the Muslims who didn't make the right call during Partition.

Nice. I notice the pilot's wearing JHMCS; I wonder if our JF17 pilots use that or if our jets even have that capability. Only seen some F16 pilots wear it.

Yeah, no shit...

To equate Pakistan's genetic ancestry with the ancient Spartans is a mockery. I assume you have to be joking here. never mind the fact that SOME Pakistanis might have Greek-Macedonian DNA in their blood, it is a stretch to justify use of Spartan logos with our "greek ancestry." That's the kind...

My thoughts, exactly. Some over-excited people seem to have discounted the possibility that this could be routine, or maybe CAP's jets at that specific time had a loitering time that was extended for whatever reasons, and they needed to refuel. Could be for any sorts of reasons, but the idea of...

Wasn't Dhanoa (your air chief) and his BJ Party (yes, I don't mean Bharatiya Janata) sure of successfully utilising all of their hyped SPICE munitions to destroy Pakistan's so-called 'terror-launch pads' in Balakot? Wasn't this aerial "Surgical Strike" bolstered by Mirage 2000s with SPICE...

On the subject of etymology may I remind you that the name India stems from the word Indus. Whether that is a link to the Indus River (that runs through Pakistan) or the Indus Valley Civlisation (based in modern-day Pakistan), so the cognitive dissonance is quite clear, no? As for this so...

Sir, dam busting is an art for which the Allied Air Forces in WW2 developed new tactics and ordnance. It may not have been used for a long time but considering the unique geographical dimensions of Indo-Pak region, I think it's time to bust out those 80+ year old manuals and tactics and put our...

Buddy, I suggest you consider Pakistan's unsuccessful history of infiltrating Kashmir through both regular and irregular forces. By unsuccessful, I mean the unwillingness of Kahmiris to rise en masse against the Indians. In some cases, our regulars were even turned over to Indians by the...

I suggest you consider the living conditions of the people of Gilgit-Baltistan and AZAD Kashmir before making such a statement. Our Northern Areas lead the country in terms of literacy rate and near parity between male and female literacy rates. The people do not clamour out on the streets on a...
