Inflation in Pakistan should ease a little towards 2023. It seems like that short-lived stimulus attempt by SBP and the finance minister is over. IMF conditions, SBP’s change in direction, and peaking global inflation should begin to gradually decelerate core inflation towards the second half of...

Some of the newer members might not have been around PDF to remember the SAM leak controversy we had here some years back. It pays to be cautious now. I’d say forget thrust vectoring, nowhere in the world is it employed by in-service single engine fighter aircraft. Nor is it that useful, or...

Now PDF will spend the next 3 months and 100+ pages debating whether JS-10 is actually just a J-10C or something new. The media will cover all of the other important questions in the meantime, sir is it nuclear capable? Sir but can it fly at night? Ok, but it’s the man behind the machine...

There's no question that there are tens of MPAs and MNAs looking to jump ship. But picking up electables and denying more loyal members tickets is not so easily done. Besides, nobody jumps ship without some life jacket on or without a rescuer in sight. These folks will only jump when either they...
