It is very interesting that the Russians still assemble rockets (R22 to Angara) horizontally whereas the US assemble them vertically. Is there any engineering advantage to assembling horizontally?

Not only a Pakistani but a very courageous young man. No matter what his nationality his actions are those of a genuine hero and deserve honour. It is sad that he is no longer with us.

For me, and its old school, is The Sweeney

Jamahir If you want PDF to become a place of peace then we all have our place. The main joy of such a site as this, is that we can communicate and understand each other. It must be done with respect and intelligence, but you do have both those qualities.

Interesting that BBC news is totally silent about the launch. Even its Science and Environment section, which rarely misses the beat of a butterfly's wing has nothing on this.

That colonel showed considerable leadership skills and probably spared his men from some nightmares. All credit to him for allowing his men to show intolerable grief. Also, and just as important, he has shown that the Pakistani army value the lives of children and will not become as debased in...

For everyone, Merry Christmas and most of all may there be peace on earth.

Far from being in the Russian mafia I was in British military for many years. I have family in Russia. I have some favourites amongst both batmen and bowlers. its hard to choose. Bowlers - Shane Warne, for his sheer ability, Dennis Lillee for his pace or Michael Holding for both those...

Pursuit of happiness Thank you for a very well thought out and intelligent post.

Junaid Khan can put some pace bowling down, although he might need a season or two to get it right, but he is right in the Waqar Younis school. Irfan too is good and experienced. Its batsmen. Pakistan doesnt really have the depth that India has. Misbah Ul-Haq is experienced and will no doubt...

England in group A cannot be relied upon to beat Sri Lanka in one match out of ten. Australia will also want to take England apart, and the NZ can also do that. So I feel Sri Lanka and Australia. England have no chance at all. Group B - West Indies are not the team they used to be. India V...

Set up a new thread telling us about yourself.

When we English have a cricket team good enough to take on the Pakistanis I will follow them to Pakistan. I think I will be waiting a while for my flight!

Krash Those are wise words. I dearly hope that they are followed. You are indeed right in saying that there needs to be a time for justice and civility. No one wishes for one barbaric act to be replaced with another. Also I agree that there should be a terrifyingly clinical retaliation to the...

Vostok I am with you in many ways. Part of my family is in Pyatigorsk. Ukraine has made its own mind against Russians.

Ive seen that beast next to the submarine museum in Moscow.

I greatly appreciate the welcome. I'm ex-British army and my intention on this site is purely to understand the Pakistani viewpoint. I am certainly not here to cause any problems. Of course the huge tragedy in Peshawar meant that I needed to express my feelings of anguish and concern over this...

Chechens have caused many many deaths in Russia, not just Beslan. I was involved in a bomb blast in Domodedevo airport a couple of years ago. Chechnya is militarily unassailable but they can be stopped from doing more damage. No evidence of Taliban links but possibly IS. The Chechens have been...

Hi all I am living in England but also Russia too. For the loss of your children in the awful massacre you are in my prayers.
