Power crisis is obviously huge, esp in summer as demand > supply so greatly. Hope Sharif can make some progress in this regard.

any pics of special forces? I have heard of SWADS.

Even 3-4 bn is good for Pak in the current environment.

They are all #2's. :omghaha:

I hope this swine rots in hell. PAF should find where he is buried and bomb that to ensure he gets no peace! Our external security is largely assured by the existence of nuclear weapons. Pakistans biggest danger is internal Islamists which should be faced down until they are no more.

We need all the energy we can get.

OMG, no. Why does PN need an AC? Pakistan has a small coastline with no major aspirations to be a major sea faring power. Further, no way can PN afford an AC.

Pakistan needs to make armed drones. They are great weapons and cost effective. Imagine a fleet of armed UAVs as opposed to the cost of an airforce?

This is bad news. PAF wont be getting J-10s. Hopefully the JF-17 program can still continue, although upgrades may be hurt. $6bn defence budget is tiny. Assuming PAF gets 30 % of it (with PA 50% and PN 20%), once it has paid salaries, maintenance and the like, it simply cannot afford a fancy...

They should burn him alive. Mongol style.

What is? They dont have the means to take over Pak. They are not a strategic threat, just a tactical and social threat. They should be crushed.

This is all a bit silly.

Agree that we need to crush TTP et al but disengaging from the wider WoT will assist us in that as it would make many Islamists lay down their arms.

The situation is not perfect, but Nawaz can do no worse then PPP who achieved a mighty 3.x % average growth rate. :cuckoo: If Nawaz can curtail terrorism and ease the energy crisis, he will be a decent PM.

Actually Pakistan had a basic nuclear capability since about 1985/6. The opening article is obvious. Nukes keep India at bay.
