Not sure if you can box Pakistan's current state with Turkey or even India (although turkey is much, much further ahead of India).
but here are your own words:
the difference here - being pointed out to you (and you already know this as well - as evidenced by your own words above) is that...
Pakistan owns 50% of JF program
but that ownership has not translated to development knowledge and technical expertise to develop in hose projects of the same kind - let alone the next gen
PAC could have developed the wind tunnels or the radar or anything of value (even if its a small item) to...
I read through the treaty document. and one nugget I found:
India paid 125 tonnes of Gold to Pakistan (equivalent money in GBP) to fun building of Canals in Pakistan for signing the treaty.
This was paid in equal installments and the payment was not stopped by India even during the 1965 war with...
I am not sure how the army could have defended the land mass so far away from the mainland. and the two states had very different cultures to begin with.
both nations had to have the common Islamic bond - but since 1971, which state do you think continued its islamic traditions and which state...
more than that - I would suggest to tie down an elected person's compensation/re election directly tied to the output they give.
that was the purpose of democracy anyways
- what was promised during elections? - this is the basis for being elected
- how much of this was completed? attempted? or...
the IMF is asking to do stuff to ensure you wont go back to IMF again. but in doing so it is suggesting a poison pill that can bring Pakistan to the brink. it is indeed shrouded in doubt specially when IMF is known to be easily bent by its biggest share holders.
@ThunderCat
@ThunderCat , can you kindly point to those metrics that show Pakistan is Ahead of BD at this current point of time?
I dont see any metric/ anything that has some strong calculations/numbers/data behind any of the reasoning above - its all what you want to believe in. which is...
@ThunderCat you really think such pictures of Pakistani cities/slums do not exist?
also
you still havent given me a metric by which you are comparing Pakistan, BD and India
please let me know so I can use it in other places.
@ThunderCat
what metrics (or logic) can you give that shows Pakistan is ahead of BD or India right now?
I will use those at some other places. can you kindly share?
"nothing factually incorrect"
"its simply what I believe"
just because you believe something, doesnt make it a fact.
Your...
I am sorry - why would you need 88 people to go to inspection of a rail car? could have as well imported one rail car of the spec and tested it to the full spectrum before ordering in bulk?
that would seem most logical and obvious way to order in bulk?
did a quick google search on when this...
interesting - perhaps something Pakistan and China can emulate to reduce the dollar liquidity crunch that Pakistan is facing?
I am not 100% certain how designating Indian currency as Designated Foreign Currency gives liquidity to SL in dollar terms?
@Horse_Rider
thank you for your efforts in writing up an excellent article. there are some good thoughts in the work. I want to however, poke some holes and perhaps help you build a more thought provoking article out of this? anyways, consider the following thoughts as a layman (in terms of PAF...
converting a 4th gen to 5th gen isnt optimal - it would end up being more expensive than a regular 4th gen, but perform sub optimally for either 4th gen or 5th gen
true 5th gen requires a stealthy deisgn - which the 4th gen cannot aquire by simply adding some canards or a plug. adding RAM...
the firepower Pak possesses is more in conventional domain - to counter or thwart a regular army.
the TTP is a completely different beast - something in my opinion - the Pak army hasnt really focussed as much as it should have (COIN)
what are the demands of TTP ultimately?
to have less army in...
