Sir, I used to think otherwise, but I cannot argue with you here. Generally, I would be all defensive and protective about the collective Army personnel, but I've noticed that not every Army officer is necessarily a master defence analyst. Sometimes, they'll say things that will just amaze you.
Hi,
Thankyou.
Thirty plus years ago---if someone would have talked to me about my pak army officer---I would have tore the head off their shoulders and-----but then I learnt that they are just programmed to be the leader of soldiers---and they charge fearlesslty at the enemy when bullets are flying around and shells are bursting in the sky---without any fear of life and consequence---where, others like me will cower down in fear---they will be the men in action. No doubt some are smarter than others---but they are not programmed to be analysts---their world is a 'NARROW VISION' or a TUNNEL VISION world---they only see the world through a periscope---that is what their job is-----once they get smarter, they get out fo the millitary.
Paface---no doubt that the french have a price---but we also have a very unique relationship with the french---we have been the second largest users of mirage aircraft---who better to market the french mirage 2k or the Rafael to the rest of the world other than PAF---nobody could have done it any better than us. We get the augusta 90 from the french with the silent propulsion system---one of the most deadliest silent submarine system in the world---did they blink an eyelash to give us that system---no---did u s say anything---no. Similiarly the americans would not have been bothered if they had sold their rafaels and M2k 9's to us as well.
As a matter of fact---for the americans it would have been a load off their shoulders---they would have to care less if india started to come crying their way---america would have said---don't bother us---go bug the french---they sold the aircraft. We care less---our systems are of no threat to you. Go scr-ew yourself---.
In order for america to force france in not selling us the equipment---pak had to do something totally extraordinary and out of this world---and pak is not going to do any of those things at all---and american congressmen and senators won't call upon the french---simple stupid logic works more often than tedious erronous misgivings.
Most of the chinese frontline system is the one they are still integrating---the chinese process of putting a system in active service is different than that of europe and america---chinese system gets certified on the job---secondly---they have massive requirement to fulfill their own needs on multiple fronts---next---all the top notch systems are for that countries use only---just like the u s and britain---there is a fear of getting the system into the enemies hands---thirdly the cost factor---china has to finance the sale to pakistan at special rates---and that also based on the fact that pak may not take eventual delivery of the system due to lack of funds and chiona may end up using that equipment as happened with the naval ships---.
China also knows that pak goes everywhere else to buy their equipment---when they don't get what they want---they comeback and send their wish list to china---now if this was your personal relationship with a friend who was less fortunate than you---and you were china and your friend was pakistan---what would most of you do---some of you might give that friend a boot.
