Oh please! UNPROFOR was a freaking disaster. I know. I served there. And I was not talking about PAKBAT. I was responding to your suggestion that Pakistani mercs were siding with the Bosnian Muslims at the company level and above. There was no such thing. And let's be real here. PAKBAT did the...

Oh for Pete sakes, the Hezbollah bomb levelled a hotel. The Halifax Explosion levelled a quarter of the city. What do you think?

Sorry, wasn't thinking of PAKBAT in that context but rather in context of the original post of providing Mujahadeen contingents.

I don't doubt there was Pak involvement. The few SAGGER-Ts we found were from Pakistan ... whether they were cheap on the black arms market or someone in Islamabad let some slipped through, I don't know. The question is of what level and what effectiveness. As I stated, I know of no Pak Captains...

What comic book are you reading?

The Chinese have tried to buy the engines/powerplants from the Ukraine. That sale fell through. I have no other intel as to any sale of any similar engines.

Well, they would need something to copy, don't they?

Engines, people, engines. Where are the Chinese going to get their engines?

Not while in port and it needs powerplants to do so in open seas.

They rebuild and copy engines you mean.

Oh for Pete's sakes! It's called a .30-06 and it existed since 1916!

As a long time PLA watcher, my advice is to wait for something concrete - like a hull being laid before going off on what the PLA will do. There's no doubt the Chinese are capable of many things but whether they willing to do so is another matter altogether. I had thought the carrier issue was...

Really don't know if they have the tech knowhow. The Ukrainian engineers who got the VARYAG ready for China are adament that they have weakened the structural supports beyond repair. The thing cannot be made combat ready. Also, the Chinese have signed a condition of sale not to be the thing...

I have NOT seen any such indication coming from American policy makers. It's mostly news media and politicians looking for a soundbite without understanding the strategic realities on the ground. The simple fact is that India cannot and will not be a counter to China the way the US wants it...

Are there any indications of even trends that you're on the way to be able to afford her?

And Adux could marry Paris Hilton. There's absolutely no indications of even trends to either of these scenarios.

God Bless. I don't care what religion you are. A man protects children. Freaks harms them. And the Colonel was a Man.

Ok, what good is this thread? You all speak of the Muslim world as if it was somehow united or that it stands alone. Pure hogwash. Pakistani nuke superiority means squat all against Turkey who can count on the US nuclear umbrella. Iran is not looking towards Pakistan for support for its nuclear...

None of you know what you're talking about. I've served with UNPROFOR and there were alot of rumours, alot of it unsubstantiated, and if Pakistan was involved, it was very indirectly. There was no Pak contingent in Bosnia though I cannot speak for mercs but I do know there were no Pak Captains...
