Kvlin, I was one of the ones who believed that there was WMD in Iraq. After the war, I was also one of the ones who tried to re-examine where I went wrong. All I can tell you is that I was wrong ... BUT even based on today's evidence, I still cannot see if I can make another decision. If...

And this idiot without facts.

Don't want to be rude BUT that is the most stupid statement you could ever make. Why the hell not? I can't believe you would make that statement. They have the know how. They have the desire. So why wouldn't they make a nuke? Sanctions are in place. Iran has no rights to nuclear weapons...

Captain, I'm actually surprised at your analysis here. The US left the fight to ARVN and ARVN proved more than a capable match ... until the US Congress and Saigon refused to buy the bullets ... and I mean it literally, both Washington DC and Saigon refused to buy 5.56mm ammo for the ARVN...

Looking at OPEC's response - not a chance.

I cannot believe that after all of AQ Khan's exploits that this forum believes that Iran is not seeking a nuke. The man sold a Chinese nuclear warhead blueprint to Iran for crying outloud! He even sold bomb making equipment under false documentation. Why is anyone ignoring this evidence is...

Son, Stay away. Your heart is not in it and the Pak Army could use people who wants to be there, not waste time on those who can't decide to be a man or not.

And here is the Chinese version of that development, all the headaches and heartaches included. Do a Bablefish or any other online translator. I've stated the documentation is out there but people are just too lazy to look. Now, let's see if they're too lazy to do the work. History again...

I've already stated that the PLAAF will get the FC-1 but only in the amount contracted. And the explaination for that acquisition has been provided. The doctrine is called "The War Zone Campaign." Look it up. Until you understand its tenets, the rest of your post is pure garbage.

I've just checked my notes with Rick Kamer and Craboto, why are any of you counting J-6S at all. There was one regiment 5 years ago (no info whether it's now disbanded or not) with 4 other other trainer regiments (JT-6s). You guys are really out of whack if you expect the PLAAF to replace the...

My apologies for a delayed reply. This forum is of 2ndary interest in gathering info, thus, I check when memory serves. In short, you've proven that you know alot less than you pretend to know. The PLA is not looking or air superiority (they don't care) but for ground superiority. I point to you...

J-6s are retired from front line service. J-7 regiments have already began conversions to J-11 and J-10. J-8 are tasked for high altitude, high speed interception, a role to which it was specifically designed for. Considering the fact that they didn't attack, what do you think? I know you know...

Captain, I don't know enough on how PAF visionaries picture the battle space to give you a direct answer. I will tell you that Pakistan enjoys a few advantages China does not have over Taiwan. The battle space is immediate almost within spitting distance of PAF bases. Travel time, and...

As far as the engineers are concerned, the F-15E is a completely different plane than the F-15D. It means the USAF has no more uses for those small framed F-16s while those even older but larger F-15s continues in service. No, hate is the right word. Military men do not mince words, especially...

And who chosed it? Not the PLAAF. No. The ugrade was also done to the airframe in those birds. I've got two F-15 engineers on WAB who are more than willing to give you a history of what they did. 2ndly, how many used F-16s are on the market? How many used F-15s? What's your point...
