Interestingly, all the TURMS-T equipped tanks in Syria got the ‘S’ added to their designation, resulting in T-79S/T-72S, T-82S/T-72AVS and T-92S/T-72M1S. While this may seem confusing at first hand, the ‘S’ stands for Saroukh (صاروخ) meaning missile, indicating all are capable of launching the...

Although almost all of the tanks got their Kontakt-1 ERA installed the way it was intended, at least some of the ‘T-72AVs’ can be seen with a different installment of the ERA blocks on the turret, a contraption likely originating from one of the Armenian contractors responsible for installing...

The T-72, after the T-55 the most prolific tank series of the post-World War II era with an estimated production run of up to 30.000 vehicles. In Syria, the tank largely owes its fame due the participation in the Battle of Darayya, which was extensively covered on camera, and the large amount of...

Patriots are not just anti missile weapons they are also anti aircraft. If by accident any Russian plane gets shot down by some gung ho american or turkish soldier then the effects of that decision could be wide spread and uncontrollable. Drawing first blood could very well be the last nail in...

Grid feed systems basic need is a complex metering that calculates any excess units and adds them to the account when the sun is shining and deduct the amount when there is no sun.

How much is that is loans? Its 7b+. 47% of our earnings are now going into debt payments every year. You know what our trade balance is? Its in the negative. That means that we import more than we export and our tax collection failed to hit any targets. We do not even have superficial economy...

Its very easy to cuss and not make a point. Everyone can do that. The result is garbage in garbage out. I hope you are not on your own forum to listen to and reply to garbage. Its very important for me and my countryman to keep all our brain functions even in the heaviest garbage been thrown at us.

Curbs on nuclear programme ruled out ISLAMABAD: A senior Pakistani official on Wednesday dismissed speculation that Islamabad could agree to put certain limits on its nuclear weapons programme in return for a civil nuclear energy deal with Washington. “We will not compromise our nuclear...

Understandable. But this definitely seems to be something she copy pasted on to her twitter or some other thing. she should have posted a picture instead of doing what she did. No reason to abuse her.

Probably a noobie tweeter. Does not look like she said that. Pretty sure it was a copy paste specially with the last line.

Actually the law has to be suitable to all Pakistanis. Common sense dictates that a mentally insane person can not be held accountable for his actions. Because no sane person of a different faith will abuse the prophet in my "personal" opinion. Proper mental competency is a must and what level...

Thats what I mean. The only reason the signing is important is because of the approval of US for other countries to work without a sword on their heads.

And what happens when both sect fatwas contradict each other. Who comes in to solve that issue and it becomes a conclusive fatwa?

The thing is if the Americans give their thumbs up the reactors can progress full speed ahead. But in this case I would definitely choose the slow and steady approach instead of signing this ball and chain.

I agree. But who is the layman and which sect would that layman go to consult with?
