You may very well be right in principle mate but, scandals/scams are very carefully fabricated to look that way. Isn't it so? I may be wrong in this regard but, I welcome the notion of Finance Minister taking notice of it. After all, that so called $2 Billion projection wasn't made out of thin...

Not at loss of $1.7 Billion. I'm sorry but, there's no way a country like Pakistan in such dire economic state afford to waive off THAT kind of money. No way sir.

I really hope that Dar postpones this auction. This is beyond ridiculous and smells of heavy corruption. Simply not acceptable. Period!

Thanks for the correction but, it was my belief that the only similarity that both share is the chassis. T-129 is based or built in A-129's chassis. Apart from that, its an entirely new system. I might be wrong again but, might any Turkish brother shade a little light on it.

@IceCold Totally agree. Particularly this part,

@Luftwaffe, that $10-20 million may actually be blessing in disguise as it'll mean attaining self sufficiency instead of relying on foreign aid for our each and every need. Besides, its not the money that U.S via USAID program is offering. Its actually the influence which promulgates positive...

So is RD-93 on Thunder. Though its Russian and not US or EU but, point is Russia could block it too due to India. Yet it doesn't because China is involved, Pakistan is turning a new leaf with Russia with reported arrival to Putin back in September -which was postponed due to changing political...

@Luftwaffe I agree with your understanding of the matter in reference to AH-1Z vs T-129 vs WZ-19. The obvious and the most sensible as well as economic among the bunch being super cobra but, don't you think the prospect of ToT which T-129 brings with itself is simply too good to refuse? Saying...

@Bilal. Thanks mate. The last part as per role of each missile puts things into perspective :-)

Thanks @Bilal. for prompt reply. And so in this regard, may I ask about the complexity involved in development of Nuclear tipped Ship/Submarine launched cruise missile vs conventional cruise missile. I'm curious because as per our Armed Forces revised doctrine, we are aiming for second strike...

Hi, This is off topic and I'm too lazy to google it (SORRY). So I'll ask if any Indian or Pak friend could ans whether Brahmos is Nuclear tipped cruise missile or, is it conventional? Also, what's its payload? Thanks.

Absolutely right. Although, I was thinking of it as an isolated case -which was foolish of me- but, the Defense Minister really made it seem that way, didn't she? As far as Russia is concerned, it had really huge stakes in Crimea the foundations of which was laid centuries ago during the Xar's...

I swear that was my first impression as well. But, even if we consider such scenario then question arises. . .Can addition of 10 more Grippens halt or put a dent in Russian Air dominance/superiority?

Hopefully, this will lend towards closer defense cooperation between both the countries. And, hopefully, pave the groundwork for signing of a defense deal or joint venture.

The only guarantors of lasting peace is to have good trade relations, partnerships. Thus, bringing the national interest of each country in unison through which they can only move forward. Or even forge strategic level partnerships. . . Therefore, its a welcome news and one that we should pray...

I'd like to participate as well. Any info in this regard will be highly appreciated. Thanks.

@Abii, brother, it takes two to tango. You let your emotions take control and bash Pakistan on public fora. Yet, you conveniently forget the fact that those terrorists not just violated your border once but twice while conducting acts of terror INSIDE Iran. And if that wasn't enough, they took...

Congratulations to fellow Pakistanis and brothers and sisters in Turkey :-). But no news of any cooperation in defence ssctor or on ATAK Helo or Mushak etc?

True sir but, this is its basic definition and evolution preached, perpetuated and propagated by the the rich and powerful under the umbrella of sole superpower of 21st century. The old definition -by, for and from the people- remains outdated and bookish now. Thus, we'd do ourselves, our...

Totally agreed sir but, that's something that a mature and a very deep rooted democracy can accomplish. Unlike Pakistan where system is in shambles and every word becomes conspiracy and person a MOSAD, CIA, RAW agent. Although, keeping in view the best interests of the nation, it'd be the best...
