That can be a reason but KSEW has been a lemon on many other occasions! Look at the Iranians, without much foreign help and scarcity of foreign exchange, they have pulled off a number of coup's in maritime self sufficiency.

I don't understand why KSEW cant build the basic structure!! Fit out can be done by the Chinese on contract!! If one an build a 25,000 ton cargo vessel how difficult it would be to design a 3,000 ton vessel based upon a commercial design or scaled down version of a cargo vessel?? Beats me!!!

The basic upgrade should concentrate upon the following: 1. Lighter Air-frame (us of composites) 2. More powerful power-plant 3. AESA Radar with HMDS 4. Full fly by wire (nothing about this mentioned in the video) The more heavier weapons you mount on an aircraft the more sluggish it gets...

Ok M5 was a later version of M3 developed during the war. BTW both weighed more or less 15 tons. Pakistan used Chaffee light tanks in 65' affectionately called "Mohd. Shafee" in Pak Army then!

The so called "Midget Tank" is M3 Stuart of WWII fame. It is a light tank for scouting purposes. PA also had these tanks.

very little know fact....elections held in 1970 in West Pakistan were very fair. However, things were different in East Pakistan where Justice Abdus Sattar ( A Bengali and later the President of Bangladesh), the then Head of Election Commission of Pakistan, had a strong leaning towards Sheikh...

I think OHP will be relegated to training ship duties once Type 54 enters service

The quest for offshore oil is directly linked with our ability to secure our littoral waters. Two oil well drilling vessels are in port in Karachi.

My friend let us not be naive here. This kind of talk is all good for the kids who love to thump chests from both sides of the border, on this forum. Today's terrorists are tomorrows freedom fighters....what would you call the Muktibahani, officially supported by India, looking from your side...

I was just quoting you from "Declassified" US Department Papers. What was on the ground and what was being publicly or privately discussed by the Indian leadership at that time, are two different things. As far as 200 million Pakistanis.....then let go of the long standing positions and make...

Please read the declassified documents pertaining to Henry Kissinger and the State Department Papers.

I have been saying this for a while now....training with another nation's airforce is in our benefit. Who has the most combat experience in airwar? Is it the Chinese, Russians, Turks, or the Americans? They have institutionalized learning from experience as no other nation has to this extent. We...

Gatling gun was installed on the Badmash on Pakistans' insistence. Otherwise this platform did not have one!!!

Stunning model!!!

Sir, it is a classic rope a dope being played by US on China by propping up India. China was, is and will remain a threat to US unless it is strategically contained...it automatically will be in a position to challenge its sole power status in the next ten years or so. It has to be contained...

This is the Ex. County Class Guided Missile Destroyer HMS London, then inducted as training ship PNS Babur for a short time.

Sending officer to get trained in USSR & China, when we had western equipment would have been foolish then. Russian tanks were cheap to build and their employment doctrine depended upon mass attack against the enemy and overwhelm them with numbers. The western tank design and doctrine dictated...

Well said Araz Sahib. Btw Pakistan, when put into such position, did the same with Afghanistan back in the early nineties. Lot of members here need to grow up I am 55 years old saw the debacle of East Pakistan, Jamat e Islami the darling of US against communism back 50's and 60's. And the lies...

To increase the size of the aircraft, it will add weight, that would require more thrust and power for enhanced electronics systems....that points out to new, more powerful engine. Once that is done, all the rest is no brainer. Both FA-18 and F-16 have become bigger as compared to their initial...

Sir by taking forward the same train of thought....the Germans, Japanese, and the Koreans are dumb asses? Sir i don't think they are. They did what suited them to ensure their revival as significant economic powers. Why put in money on war fighting capability when someone else will do it for u...
