'Thunder' is what Pakistanis named it. Before that, while it was being designed and developed and built in Chengdu, they used to call it 'Xiaolong' - ie, "fierce dragon". But it wasn't fierce enough for the dragon's air force, so they sold it off to a lesser air force that had lesser ambitions...

Here: Please feel free to show us pics of the fighter designed in Pakistan. And no, JF-17 "vigorous dragon" is not one.

Is the new SSN going to be an indegenous design, or a copy of the Akula-2? Or a derivative of the Akula-2? Do we have the knowhow to design an SSN from scratch? Are Russians assisting us? I have no idea about the costs, but let me point out that 1.6 billion dollars is not 161 million dollars...

There is nothing new, which is why it is baffling that you chose to reawaken an 8 year old thread.

He lost the elections because his people voted him out. It's that simple. Blaming RAW for his electoral defeat just makes him a sore loser. Try harder next time.

I wonder what the courtmartial charges are. Treason? And what's the penalty?

They are the perfect candidates for the Darwin award, which "recognizes individuals who have contributed to human evolution by self-selecting themselves out of the gene pool via death or sterilization by their own actions." Darwin Awards - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia BTW, if you get...

We agree, he is an eminent Pakistani intellectual. One of the finest minds in Pakistan. He is as admirable a Pakistani think tank, as are some of the Pakistani PDF think tanks.

OK.

Nope. Doesn't work that way.

Some countries (ahem...ahem) cannot be ignored, because of the nuisance value they possess.

While I have no sympathy for parents who leave their children vulnerable to Polio, this practice nullifies the very reason for requiring warrants for arrest. BTW, under what law are they being arrested? Which section of the penal code?

He has given you articles from the guardian, which is far from a "hindu" or Indian source. It's time you pulled your ostrich head out of the hole. Why? Is that the topic of the thread? BTW, please do check out sex ratios for muslims in UP, Bihar and MP.

I don't know were he pulled that out from. There is no way that the rupee can go from 61 to 41 to the dollar "soon". Not in five years, at least.

Even if it is true that they have gained more than they've lost, that's not something in our control. The fact remains that our defence budget is several times larger, even if you add all the aid they get. So mentioning the fact that Pak receives aid is a strawman. I know. And the Indian armed...

You think it's lack of money that is preventing the aquisition of all the said things? Then explain to me, why the defence ministry just returned more than one billion dollars of unspent money that was allotted to them in the previous budget. It is not lack of money or the finance ministry's...

I didn't use the word 'drama' to describe what they need. I used it to describe this yearly exercise at budget time.

Ah, but a man's reach should exceed his grasp, Or what's a heaven for? (Browning) The system is setup in this manner, with the defence ministry and finance ministry opposing each other, so that checks and balances can be put on spending of taxpayers' money. If the armed forces can buy anything...
