    Featured China reignites coal project in Pakistan after Australia spat

    Who in the world needs foreign assistance to develop a coal field? This is about the dumbest way to fleece the nation's resources. At the expense of Pakistan, some folks probably made nice Swiss Bank assets. The original plan was to develop Pakistani coal and iron ore fields (and yes, Pakistan...

    Erdogan: The Turkish Nation will receive very good news on Friday.

    May Allah bless Turkey and the Turkish people! They are brave enough to face down the West when all the rest of us are on our knees sucking up to them.

    Featured ‘Neutral, non-political administrator to be appointed in Karachi’

    This is true. However, the way it is done in the US is to segment cities themselves. There is no real New York. New York City has innumerable local governments. The third and main issue is that Pak needs to have new provinces otherwise Sindh will continue to sabotage Karachi. This however is...

    Featured The Rise and Decline of Tanks in the Battlefield: A Perspective

    Interesting thoughts. just a few bits I wish to discuss. At the end of WWI, a lot of technology was developed. This technology revolutionized the WWI tank and made it into something truly decisive. However, as time went on, technologies developed that decreased the effectiveness of tanks. Now...

    Pakistan Army's VT-4 Main Battle Tank | Updates & Discussions

    The infantry to armour ratio of both India and Pakistan are extremely poor. Neither country can afford a large armoured force. It is like a person who is eating a lot of rice but very little meat. His diet and health can be significantly improved with greater meat, even if it is chicken and not...

    Pakistan Army's VT-4 Main Battle Tank | Updates & Discussions

    If we look at the history of tanks, they are an evolving concept. Instead of just copying the dominant paradigm of the day, perhaps we can think more flexibly. The Nazi Panzers were some of the most successful vehicles of WW2. yet they would not be rated as an MBT in modern terms. When they...

    Pakistan Army's VT-4 Main Battle Tank | Updates & Discussions

    Another option is to build a simple tank that can be mass produced. Keep it simple, no need to play the world beater game but rather the "quantity is a quality" all its own game. Perhaps something out of the box. Here is an idea: a two seat tank, with driver and commander, each having HMDs...

    Thailand warns Facebook

    Facebook is a rogue platform that is feeding US and Israeli intelligence with detailed information about all countries. Pakistan needs to ban facebook and simply build a Pakistani alternative that largely mimics the same functions.

    Breaking: IAF deploys LCA Tejas fighters along Pakistan border

    40 years... wow. That's the difference between the P-51 and the F-15. How long will it take them to R&D a donkey cart?

    Featured Turkey, Libya, Qatar agree to ink military deal

    That would be a game changer! Would love to see Pak JF-17 also being bought. They would be the perfect aircraft for a campaign in Libya.

    Capabilities of PAF Dassault MIRAGE-III/V.

    I think the Mirage's advantage over the JF-17 may be: 1. It's pure delta wing that gives excellent low level strike performance 2. Same wings allow an efficient way to carry very heavy loads over a long distance 3. Extreme low cost of maintaining this fleet that requires minimal expenditure...

    A Vision of a New Combined Arms Philosophy & Doctrine

    @PanzerKiel here is an idea for a new type of tank to push forward low cost, mass produce-able tanks - 1. Two seat - driver and commander. Both driver and gunner have helmet mounted sights that allow them to fire different weapons. This allows a very small tank, as protecting 2 operators is a...

    Pakistan F-16 Discussions 2

    T-50A is technologically not on par with it - Red Hawk brings something completely new to the table - new manufacturing tech. Also, T-50 won't help US industry much. You have to think from the US perspective, from their perspective, T-129 or T-50 is just creating competition for their own jets.
