The reason Taliban has to do this on their own is because no foreign investor will touch this project. This project is diverting significant amount of water that flows to Uzbekistan and further downstream.
India always had a numerical edge, even in 1965. We were discussing quality of equipment. Israel had managed to destroy the Arab air forces on the ground with their Mirages in 1971 and the Pakistanis had hoped to replicate it with Operation Chengiz Khan, but I guess there was a huge difference...
Because authoritarian regimes breed yesmen . That is why the Soviets couldnt ultimately keep up with the Americans. All 4.x gen and 5th gen American planes are battle tested. Let us see how the Chinese planes perform in combat and then compare.
That remains to be seen. The Americans don't just have superior tech, they also have a robust process, developed over decades, to vet any equipment they deploy. I am not sure that process can be replicated under an authoratarian regime like China.
The military establishment relies on the perception of India as the existential enemy to justify its perks and funding. If there was peace with India, most of the Pakistani armed forces would be redundant. Why would the Pakistani establishment have the same talking points as India ? What...
I am not an expert, but i have many friends and family in military circles. Their consensus opinion is that while American equipment is expensive and comes with strings, it is the most high quality and reliable. While many Indians would not admit it, until India got the Rafales, we did not have...
You are mistaken that the Indian establishment disliked IK. To the contrary, they would have loved it for him to continue and do more damage to Pakistan.
Imran was a loose cannon and had managed to piss off many countries diplomatically. I think he must have been the only Pakistani leader that...
Yes, no one should disagree that Pakistan should be a self-respecting nation and have rule of law. Has any Pakistani politician or general stated that it should not be ? Just because Imran Khan has the loudest or more catchy slogan doesnt make him more patriotic. Actions speak louder than words...
That is an irrelevant comparison. There are very few Indian members on this website. The ones who are here must have some interest or knowledge about Pakistan that the average Indian internet user does not have. I have been following Pakistani history, politics and culture for years. So I am not...
I am not sure why @waz and other admins/mods have not banned you for your abusive language yet. Maybe because you are "Advisors" - whatever that means.
I dont expect any Pakistani to believe Indian propaganda and, unlike you, I am not delusional enough to believe that more than a handful of...
So. Khattak is now a traitor and Pervaiz Elahi, who Niazi sahab called biggest daku and who himself publicly announced that Bajwa was his and Imran Khan's mohsin is now a patriot and sadiq and ameen - according to PTI supporters ?
I am not sure why my posts were removed . I guess PTI supporters, who seem to be running this website, can't tolerate any inconvenient questions even as they accuse everyone else of being a fascist.
Since the F16 was reaching the end of life and the USAF had stopped ordering new F16s, LM had offered to move the production line to India, which was required under Make In India anyway. The distinguishing feature was that they were going to shut down the line in the US, but that was because the...
No one will give up their IP like this if their product is any good.
There is already too much exposure to unreliable Russian equipment. We dont want more flying coffins like Mig-21s. Our pilots deserve the best.
Sure, Pakistani army has always been involved in politics. Sikander Mirza removed multiple governments with Ayub's support. Zulfikar Bhutto, Benazir and Nawaz Sharif all had their governments toppled by the army, but aren't things getting better from the perspective of the army's interference ...
Actually the gaze of the lady standing next to Shahbaz also followed the lady who received the award. There was probably something else happening in that direction that both were looking at.
