As I said Hindusim had really supressed the people. Thanks to Islam they are happy and doing better than had they been hindus. When Sufi saints came they fled their religion en masse.

We have gone out of topic. Hinduism really suppressed the people and that is 100% true.

What to do with old T-37s?

 

[NHUDA]

Only in defense.

Whom Do U think Turkey is Gonna do First Strike .... Except a Couple Almost all country have No First Use Policy ... Same trickle down to NATO Sharing ..... they have it covered as in a Deterrent ... !!!

& i hardly see a need they need to have a First Strike Possibility ... They are OK with Israel .. North Korea is not gonna Attack them , India Pakistan is pretty Irrelevant in this case & they are Fine with Iran (better thn other Gulf Countries) ... and they won't be the first in line against Russia ... & i hardly See NATO / Europe Casting Turkey Away !

In fact Turk people love Pakistan a lot. I was in Ankara city (Capital) on the way to Mexico, I saw my taxi driver was proudly telling to other Texi drivers that I have Pakistani visitor. I asked him, why are you proud of it. He raised first finger from each hand and touched each other. he said Pakistani and turk are Ayenna (Mirror).

Pick a year between 1954 and 1975, when the T-37 was in production.

T-37 is one of the best trainer world has seen. PAF is already using this aircraft but they are old. If PAF is to continue training its pilots, it has two choices 1) buy new aircraft which means hundreds of millions dollars expenditure on a trainer which can not be used in war 2) continue to fly current aircraft and spend tens of millions of dollars on their maintenance. This where Turkey has helped us. By providing these aircraft which will be perfectly fine to train our pilots, they have given us the breathing space of several years to save money on new trainers and also save money on maintenance of current T-37. Where does that saved money go? To buy new fighters or submarines or something else. We can save up that money to buy new trainers after few years.

34 aircraft are a lot of aircraft. Pakistan already got T-37s from U.S. few years back. Which means a lot of T-37s with us. What do we do with them? Fly half of them and use rest half for spares thus saving us millions of dollars on import of spares. Do you see anything wrong with it? Very smart thing to do when your budget is tight. When we have good economy, we can go and buy shiny new trainers. It will be great if we buy Turkish trainer Hurkus so that relationship remains mutually beneficial.
