all such articles show how paranoid and scared Pakistan is. If they are really so cocksure about their ability to repel any Indian attack, they should simply keep quiet and give the Indian forces a befitting response if and when they attack.
Two words.. Diego Garcia....that's what's scaring the Chinese silly. Indian sand US navies stationed together at Andamans and Diego Garcia simultaneously
Lol....the question of hypocrisy will arise only if your AVM actually made that statement....which so far only has your post claiming it as proof.
As someone who is married to a fighter pilot and has spent a good part of her adult life on fighter bases, both in a personal and professional...
Just showing you guys a mirror. For once admit that your civilian leadership did the right thing. Whether your AVM made the purported statement or not is debatable in the absence of proof, but if he did then thank your stars it was not acted upon.
Discretion is the better part of valour at times
And Pakistan could do squat about it! Not that it in any way diminishes Pakistan because taking on the US would have been suicidal.
HOWEVER, what amuses me is the false sense of bravado displayed by the likes of @Windjammer who portray as if the PAF was itching to put the US in its place but...
Then the question arises- Why didn't Pakistan shoot down the US choppers? Like I said earlier, you should be grateful your political leaders acted sanely. else it would have meant RIP PAF.
Do you honestly think that the US, which so blatantly acts unilaterally and regularly violates Pakistan's...
and what makes you think US wouldn't do that? if you shoot down a US Chooper with US personnel on board, wouldn't that be construed by them as an act of war, in addition to overtly protecting OBL? Just be grateful your political leadership was saner than your AVM, IF what you say is true...
Not some....more likely your entire F-16 fleet along with a large chunk of your airforce. If what you say is true, then all I can say is that in this case sanity was the better part of valour, otherwise for shooting down the blackhawks, you would have been talking about PAF in the past tense.
The reason India is "hurt" by CPEC is because of the strategic leverage it will provide CHINA and not the benefit to PAKISTAN. The day Pakistanis understand this, there will be hope for your nation
You don't get it do you? Today's 4th gen combat jets are about two main things- agility and avionics. To date, chinese avionics are a bit of a mystery to the rest of the world. This sale will enable IAF and other friendly forces to get some (if not complete) insight into the actual capability of...
Malaysia buying JF17 is very interesting. Given that India trains Malaysian pilots on the Flankers and also assists in their maintenance, what are the chances that IAF will have complete insight into the Thunder once Malaysia procures them
Umm...i dont think so...if that were the case, India would not have kicked the f-16 and f-18 out of its MMRCA competition. The US could do squat about that. India bought US cargo planes and refused to sign CISMOA- the US could do squat about it. India laid down a pre condition of a civil nuclear...
be tat as it may- it will not be a US AESA radar- you will most likely get a Chinese AESA. as regards its capabilities, lets waitfor it to make an appearance first before passing judgement on its capabilities. Also, i hope you guys have an engine upgrade program in place because the current lot...
