@jhungary is semi-retired as of April 2016. He posted a new thread on his Afghanistan experiences in Seniors cafe. I tried to let him know that the GAU-8 (on which he had a comment and a question) has a selectable fire rate (2100 rpm from my days in addition to the 4200 rpm he mentioned) and...

Salaam brother. Thank you for the wonderful pictures (nice to see some of them all over again). I believe you cannot tag more than five people at a time, most will not get your tag if you do that. I have you in my feed so your posts should come up automatically anyway. Welcome back, I hope...

Thank you for a generous reply as always. I would not have dared to make any suggestions but the name Fenrir evokes feelings of dread and it seemed incongruous and was a bit jarring coupled with the cute picture of Gir. Come to think of it they are cousins anyway and Gir was probably more...

Thank you for your valuable input. Sorry, some posts are questions or discussions with experts although I still try to explain the jargon to an extent. My first posts were a thorough analysis of range and combat radius for fighter aircraft, and the factors deciding these figures. Took a long...

time for a new dp?

no brother you don't. please see https://defence.pk/threads/f-15-sa.466039/page-2#post-9040643 for actual current status of the program and Saudi contribution to it. also, kindly note khafee's "Military Professional" title on this forum. Ma as Salaam

Allah heal all our ill people, feed all our poor, guide us all to the right path, forgive us our sins, heal our hearts, allow us to forgive each other, and bring all Muslims (and non-Muslims) together as if they were brothers and sisters. May he resolve all the ideological differences between me...

Ahhh! Wonder what Quetta is like these days. My first memories in life are of riding my trike all around our colony, the snow, the pot-bellied stove to warm up in front of after coming in from the cold, the terrifying boat ride in Lake Hina, the fish grilled at the lakeside, the tall trees...

thank you sir.

Ah! Be nice to Quwa. He is doing a great job, he collates information from here and has been doing so for what.. 12 years, tries to understand the technical side of everything, comes up with cogent and valid points, and disseminates the Pakistan view to the whole world. And he does not stay wed...

I think the reports of 550-650 Al Khalid (all versions) produced are more credible. I don't see why it would be otherwise; this is an excellent platform. For many years, the Army does not seem to want to tell the Parliament, specially the Senate since 2013 at least, accurate figures on even the...

the way it is written it translates to "O donkey! when did you (last) have peanut brittle (or rice pops)". However, khotya is probably a typo for khotay and khaday might be khadein. Then, it would mean "When do asses eat peanut brittle (or rice pops)".

could be brother. hard to tell except from a side-on angle. my experience with photography and perspective shortening led me to believe it was closer to the BBJ3 but the difference is minute between the two anyway. you are right, the 3,200 nm. figure for this (3,050 odd I believe for the BBJ2)...

your quote (not the picture) reminded me of another quote from my dear (not a sarcastic dear, I love the land and most of its people) old US

As Allah willed, the Soviet bear was pushed back from the Amu Darya back to the Volga.

Sorry the mods might be able to tell you better but I believe a rule of the forum is to at least provide an English translation since English is the very official lingua franca here. Please correct if there are any errors in the following translation: "In these days when communications systems...
