Mir, surely you jest yaar. See, I don't go into news too deep, as the spokesperson talking to media are seasoned technocrats, and know how to emphasize on what, and subdue the other. I have adapted to filter media releases, and do my own analysis. US has so much untapped energy and oil...

Banned Artificial Ripener, Calcium Carbide, poison in it's truest sense, is being used by Indian Mango Merchants. Calcium Carbide, releases toxic Arsenic and phosphourous, due to the heat, to turn the Mangoes golden-Yellow. Although, banned by the Government (under the Food Prevention Act)...

Guys, do a search on a small town in Northern Ontario, Canada. The name of the town is Moon Beam. A UFO landed there, and befriended the town folks, and they return every year, same day and time, to meet their friends. Do your search, laugh a little, and then I'll tell you more about it...

If you dont mind me asking, how old are you? I'm guessing 10-15. See, go backwards; Head of ISI, should me minimum 50 years. His son will have minimum 20 years age difference, makes him 30. His best friend's son, or his own son, should be around the same age group, again with 20 years...

Compressed Air? Just wondering what the exhaust will sound like.

Crashed and grounded F-16, the GPS will not reveal their location, plus it went as a jigsaw puzzle. J-10 is far superior then the earlier blocks of F-16 and the Lavi. Much later stage, but I can't comment on the time line of the investment itself.

Rumours? Batman, FAS is Federation of American scientists, and its not some forum. All their reports are defence and intelligence related, and published once they are not considered cllassifed anymore.

Cotton is an important cash crop for Pakistan known as "white gold". It accounts for 8.2 percent of the value added in agriculture and about 3.2 percent to GDP; around two thirds of the country’s export earnings are from the cotton made-up and textiles which adds over $2.5 billion to the...

That is Murad and Munir's area of expertise, no comments!

Nothing is wrong, 10 lacs per bus, that's the cheapest price you can get an airconditioned bus for, and it may be buil by TATA, do keep in mind that it's still a Daewoo. Karachi is a bustling city of over 15 Million increasing nearly at the rate of 5% (10 Mil in 1999). 42% needs public...

Neo, the F-16 was provided not to clone anything, but to study it, and it was way before the Israelis stepped in bro. J-10 has evolved a lot from the original drawing board, since then.

We let them have the cockpit from the grounded one, as we needed the remaining fuselage for parts. The one which crashed, well who cares if a post mortem is performed on it. We only kept it a secret, just so not to offend the US. But then came the pressler ammendments, and we needed some...

Murad, let's forget who told me that, I could say Zia said that, will that change anything? And that (F-16 to china) is no secret anylonger, it's there on the web now, really. Yes, Interceptor is very right, dont dispute him. J-10 is a very very old project, which ran aground due to lack of...

A Public Sector Development Programme (PSDP), estimated to cost Rs520 billion for the next fiscal year, will be presented before the National Economic Council (NEC) for approval. Going by the critical shortages of energy, water, human skills and modern transportation facilities for an economy...

No, the J-10 itself is not a secret, rather our investment, that's the classified part, or at-least it was. 750 Bill, is not for one shot, it is back payments for missiles (Kargil issue), FP-22 frigates, JF-17, J-10, F-7P, everything cumulative. Can't comment on the exact nature of...

You'll hear it within defence circles, it's cllassified. It's just like the pilot's know before hand that PIA is geting 777 or ATR's before Dawn get's to report. Do you know, out of our 1.5 Trillion Budget, half of it is going to China.

Neo, Pakistan has invested the same amount for the J-10 as the JF-17, US $ 750 M. Since it's a more complexed project, the manufacturing will stay in China. It must be more probably to help out China in time of their need, or perhaps we invested just to get a share of the profits, or to...

The American's came in to overthrow Saddam, and they did it, they should have left right away. They stayed behind, promising the stars, wanted to develop Iraq, they didn't keep up their promise, just as much they had done so in Afghanistan, durring the Soviet Invasion. The infrastructure was...

Actually, India has gone for both, TOT's for F-18 and MIG 29. One of them is bound to go in a ditch, leaving India witout support and spares for half it's Air Force. It's a very choppy water, where India is sailing.

We are thinking 10 Lacs per bus my friend, and that's why it's Karachi specific only. Once internal rail network, and metro has been completed, Karachi mayor will either retire the busses, or donate them: evenly distributed throughout urban Sindh. Mir, it's only a short term plan (untill...
