What Pakistan lack is scale. They possess precision weapons, just not in a large enough quantity to make their use routine:
The H-2 SOW
JF-17 configuration of weapon load - PAFwallpapers Blog
GBU-12
GBU-10
Quantity is Pakistan's problem.
Anti-nuclear protests in the 60s and 70s, yes. Kadena was host to some 1000 US nuclear warheads. Okinawa was also a staging point for US forces in Vietnam, again anti-war protests were common. Here's a brief rundown, unfortunately, and as is common these days with scientific articles, many of...
I don't understand what he said anyway. The US is an integral part of Asia's economic prosperity, removing it would doom Asia - and much of the rest of the world. Weak US consumer spending and sentiment is currently exacerbating China's slowdown, why would further removing the US be a good...
:p: I'll remember that the next time Norway (#2 on that list:chilli:) sends out an international aid package:
:lol:Just messing with you. I love Switzerland, but mostly your chocolate.
:o:
Is that a protest or a campaign rally:lol:? It's so orderly, no violence, nor out of control rioting, nothing but orderly angst; Japan - the Canada of the Asia Pacific:
So peaceful, even their outrage is calm and collected.
History taught Japan a lesson in peace; it took that lesson to...
Future BMD capability (from September, 2014)?

Even though it was built for the US Navy - under the directions of hte Office of Naval Research, BAE Europe was one of the contractors called upon to design a railgun (the other contractor being General Atomics). Perhaps we'll soon see railguns in European arsenals as well, not the same designs...
Since this thread is also for discussion, as well as news, I'd like to ask a question. Does anyone know if the IN is working on a railgun? And if so is there any public updates? I imaging they are, but would like some confirmation or teasers.
Thank you:yahoo:! And if you'd like to see the US...
Global Hawk:o:
:yahoo:
Major capability upgrade that will be. Has Japan explored its own cooperative engagement capability? It has all the pieces, except for the long-range land-attack weapons (for now;)), but I haven't noticed any official news. Now I know better than to assume a lack of...
This!
The traditional knock against the distributed leathality doctrine was cost. Arming everything is expensive, plus adding sensors so individual ships can target their new weapons is even more costly, but the American's found a way arround that; Cooperative Engagement Capability.
No longer...
That's not very nice:(. Denmark stinks.
:lol:Going the American route, eh? Just arm everything? Not bad, not bad. Perhaps the JASSM would be better than the tomahawk though:
EMP
Unitary
Rumor has it that the LRASM will have a land-attack variant.
:o: Wow!
Norway is actively constructing its own, due to be delivered in 2016 - BMT Aegir

A very common capability, even replenishment ships sometimes need to be replenished at sea - or have people move from one ship to another and helos are very, very good at moving things at sea:
JS Oumi - replenishment tanker
USS Kalamazoo

Yeah, you really don't know what you're talking about. Since when was Norway considered Slavic?
Slavic
Norwegians are Germanic, not Slavic.
North Germanic
@Nihonjin1051 can you give me a rundown of the ethnic makeup of the Nordic peoples? Last I checked we weren't Slavic.
They're going to protect Asia with a replenishment ship:what:?
Not unless Pakistan opts for a "Distributed Leathality" doctrine:

No, the SL-AMRAAM-ER has a slant range up to 40 Km, but it's dependent on the type of AIM-120 being used. the AIM-120A will have less range than the AIM-120C.
Because the ESSM-ER offers better counter-missile performance at greater ranges - considering the ESSM is used primarily for...
