1) Economies Of Scale
Well your assertion that if Russia has to acheive economies of scale then she has to export is based on what?
Why do you consider that the total order of around 1k airplanes ( by conservative estimates) will not be enough for Russia to gain economies of scale?
I...
Its sad to see you replying in this fashion.
Just because I change my name from Taliban to TTP or XYZ group to ABC I become different?
TTP is as Taliban as Taliban is TTP. Let, JeM or TTP are all the same. Do you know for sure that none of the TTP members ever worked for LeT or Taliban...
It doesnt matter weather SuperPowers have been involved in proliferation or not. Even if they proliferated they kept the other states under a strict control which is not the case with Pakistan.
What we have with Pakistan is a state supplying nuclear technology for economic benefits...
So you mean to say that AQ Khan was caught the very first time he tried doing proliferation.
One can live in ignorance , be happy and later find out what a big fool he/she has been.
Pakistan treats AQ as a hero is to say the least disappointing. I cant see any other country in the world...
You cant be serious while stating this. If Pakistan signs a military pact /defense pact with China then there would be a lot of hue and cry in India and the world.
How will anyone in India feel secure given the overwhemling odds that Indian forces will have to face in order to defend our...
Well Pakistan is no longer a major non-nato ally. Wake up Pakistani.. All you can do is live in the past. This is not 80's. U.S doesnt need you as an anvil against USSR.
You are of no use to U.S (except for WoT but you guys in that deal are negotiating from a position of weakness as compared...

SUJAN DUTTA
On board the INS Shivalik, Mumbai, April 29: In the bridge of India’s latest warship that sets new standards, Captain M.D. Suresh knows just how vulnerable his...
Last checked justification of some land being MUSLIM/ISLAMIC land doesnt come from the fact that their are more muslims in that region...
Given the islamic law of more than one marriage and tons of children makes your POV quite clear though.
Thanks but I was hoping for a detailed response from someone who would like to explain what different objectives/scenarios are we looking at for the two AWACS.
Any reasons why its mounted on a propeller driven aircraft and not a jet one?
(maybe it doesnt have aerial refulling capability and...
I am against IAF going for MK9. Here are some of my points:
(Assumption: IAF wont buy MK9 and MMRCA winner)
1. If India needed it then IAF wouldn't have asked French to either compete with Rafael or get lost in the MMRCA.
2. These are old jets. Who knows how well they have been kept and...
Initially they will say India cant build anything indigenously.
Then they will say India cant build anything 100 percent indegenously.
Then they will say India can only produce indigenenously with TOT.
Then they will say India can only obtain TOT due to big money.
Then.. well then...
Is it just me or are people in Pakistan ( more specifically a particular group of people here) obsessed about Tejas?
I realise its a beauty but then you guys have you own JF-17 ... You dont need to be envious for every little thing..
I mean seriously what is the concern about us spending a...
Source?
I dont understand why we are debating/comparing two fighters of entirely different class. For god's sake JF-17 doesnt even have a decent radar . JF-17 is at max equivalent to Mig-21 bison of IAF .
If I compare JF-17 with Mig-21 bison then Mig-21 will win as far as BVR goes. JF-17...

We have been in the middle of an invisible civil war for many years now. Civil war because it is an armed struggle by a...
In one movie which was released in Pakistan Naseeruddin shah is a maulvi and present himself before the court.
He goes to say something like the below in reply to the fact that Allah has ordered (requested) his followers to wear salwar and niqab etc etc.
He says something to the effect of
" It...
Religions are developed on certain values and with time values of people change. Just let me know on what values were these obligations made and if those values hold today.
According to me modesty in one and for women molestation was another one. As I see , both have become outdated. One can...
1. Well my question is: I say that I wont wear a hijab or do namaz though I beleive in Allah and that is why I am still a muslim. Does this argument hold?
2. Whats more demeaning is the way you talk about women. Maybe for you a women is just meant to fulfill your sexual desires and hence you...
