Pakistan is indeed in quite a tought situation with the language issue. Too many elitists are proud of their English and not willing to let go, but then again, even though the majority DO speak Urdu, that still doesn't cover EVERYONE. Pakistan is too diverse in it's languages.
Although maybe...
I support the anti-women military platform, but my rasons are not because women are inferior to us, but more so because I'm a tradionalist and believe that the dirty work should be left up to men. But you'd be surprised how many women can beat you PMA_LC120, and many other men in athletic pursuits!
I've heard repeatedly that the J-10 isn't considered a 4.5 Gen ac, due to it's in-cockpit technology. Are those just rumours started by competition or does it have any basings to it?
Where's the picture?
But seriously, India has been one step ahead of us in all aspects...why? Because they're focusing on the bigger picture. We need to look ahead and plan further into the future, in not just a military role, but economically and socially as well.
Yes it's good having China...
Despite that, the A & N islands will continue to be a strong strong naval dock and airstation giving India broader range over the Indian Ocean. Although I do wonder what kind of contingency plans they have in case of Cyclones and well Tsunamis similar to the recent one.
Let's say they do...
The A & N islands, are honestly quiet the strategic asset for India. Being a Pakistani, as much as I hate to admit it, India's resource box and geographical location has it quite nicely geared up for Asian dominance.
I'm sure they have more the likes of Yao Ming. (If you're in the US) lol
What I was more intrigued by was MuradK's post. Engineer turned Test/Fighter Pilot? So how common is that in the PAF sir?
And I'm still waiting for your PM, if it's not too much trouble :p
Adux,
No Squadron Command names for the JF-17 because it's not assigned to a Squadron as of yet!
The othe Wing Commander names that were announced were because they were heading the squadrons that lent out the planes used in the parade, as opposed to the JF-17 who are technically under no...
The red and the green is the other side of the pak flag. That's actually got the chinese flag and pak flag on one side and the other side is entirely pak flag. But what gets the cake is that lightning bolt on the side
well in a more diplomatic way actually. The Chinese reply to the US question of "What China's intentions are with the budget hike": Despite the raise, China's new increased military budget is still a small fraction of the US budget.
China also plans to decrease it's military strength...
Inzy should have waited till after the next match to retire. And i know that there aren't many ways to make up for the humiliating defeat...but the least the Pak team can do is 'go out swinging' (sorry for the baseball analogy...too much amreeka for me). I understand that the next match won't...
