Oh, my bad. My sincere apologies for this error. @Saleem Ghauri, my bad mate.

Do check up on your sub fleet and revisit your comment again. You have 3 Agosta-70s, ancient even by our standards. Are they dangerous? Yes. Superior to IN sub fleet, Not by a long shot. The IN posses 13 conventional SSKs btw, and 1 SSN, not 7-8 SSKs. (Edited: corrected error)

Sure, History is replete with instances of inferior forces defeating larger superior forces. Nothing stops Pakistan from being able to do the same in theory. Infact in 1965 PA did exactly that, using superior tactics to nearly separate Kashmir from mainland India. Read about the engagements at...

About patriotic chest thumping: The following is the cumulative strength of Allied and German forces for the Battle of France, 1940 . Please do take a look. Allies: 144 divisions[1] 13,974 guns[1] 3,383 tanks[1] 2,935 aircraft[2] 3,300,000 troops Alps on 20 June ~150,000 French Germany: 141...

1. I am not assuming anything or for that matter pre-empting the flow of battle. I'm only stating the comparison of comparable formations. PA is free to move whatever it pleases into the area. But just a hint of caution: It is notoriously difficult to counter a mobile force unless you know where...

Again, abject ignorance about modern warfare leading to bold, sweeping statements. You are hooked on numbers, without attempting to understand how those numbers are intended to be employed by both sides. I do not wish to write a long essay on this topic so will provide just a few points: The IA...

Thanks, and yah, I'm a big fan of HALO.

Over-implication, incredible oversimplification of such a complicated , convoluted topic. Nuclear weapons cannot eliminate war, it never did and never will. And this fact was proved to us by non other than the hero of Pakistan, Musharraf with his Kargil campaign. In all honesty, this proved to...

I thought we pronounced it as ZooTiniali...Am from Guwahati too mate. Beltola

I'll speak about my branch, as I really cannot comment on the other branches of engineering As I stated earlier, I have had the pleasure of interning at a CSIR laboratory for the last two months. They represent the cutting edge of research and technology in this country. And their equipment is...

The international universities you point to are oriented towards research and Development projects, i.e. are more focused at post graduate and Doctoral students. Our NITs are fixated mostly towards Undergraduate students. Therein lies the difference. For Undergraduate work, an average...

Please do come over to my institute. There is atleast one of your sweeping comment I can sweep under the carpet, or out of your head.

Principled stance means zilch in real-politick. Any even if it meant something, we aren't rich enough to hold a principled stance over and above our National Interests. Oh and btw, maybe the 'unflattering words' flattered the NSG commandos, but it sure as hell wouldn't beat the high the SSG...

Ahem, why would any sane man keep in his wallet a condom that had expired way before Britney Spears made her debut? And assuming it was unused, I doubt it would have much 'emotional value' to him.....

Disregarding the relevance or lack thereof of the 28nm process, my GTX8800, with it's bulky 65nm process still dishes out nearly equal performance when compared to the new GTX 750, and it does that even after being almost 7 years old, i.e. 3 generations behind. But before you go off on a...

I have certain reservations about the content of the text, some inaccuracies if you will. But I will hold them off for until you have finished posting the entire article.

I would be extremely careful with this whole AQ thing if I was a Pakistani general planning to secure Kashmir from India. The AQ and their affiliates have shown their inability to maintain discipline in warzone, all the way from Libya to Syria. And then there is their agenda with the Shias. It...

As in example of a rocket artillery : The Pinaka and the Prahaar. As in example of systems with similar destructive effect on target: The Pinaka, the Prahaar, the Glide bomb by DRDO. You have to understand that for a commander, what matters is the effect the munition has on target. he couldn't...

You'd need to be a bit more specific with what you mean by same effect before I can formulate the requisite reply. But in so far as Prahaar substituting for the role of Smerch in IA battle plans, it can prove a far more devastating tool than the Smerch IMO.

Oh the plan still exists, but with diminished incentive for the DRDO. You see, by building the 120 km rocket, they would essentially be positioning two products with the range category to the IA, not a very wise choice economy wise. The DRDO is pushing for the Prahaar at that range, and would...
