With my namesake, Donald Trump as the next possible president, America would have lost whatever meager confidence and respect it commanded, to near zero! I wouldn't trust him even with a dollar. Would you?
Right! The sellers are always at the mercy of buyers! They need to sell their wares to remain viable. It's the economy of scale. A couple of Rafales to Qatar and Malaysia would not change the predicament the French would be in.
They desperately need to sell at least 400 Rafales including the...
Do you even know WTF you're talking about? Firstly, there's zero corruption in the Rafale deal as it is a government to government contract. Secondly, if there's corruption in arms deals it's those politicians and bureaucrats as they are the ones who have the authority and who push files for...
Why don't you go take a walk and breathe some fresh air outside? That would put some life into your.....whatever you have between your ears! :dirol:
Talking of ability, your own president Xi blasted the crap out of the PLA saying they better smarten up as their training is atrocious and general...
I love the sparring out here! Except for a couple of subjective TTAs who usually spoil a valid argument by warning or banning a member for weeks for an innocuous remark and one that doesn't conform to their ideology and world view, this forum is otherwise pretty ok.
And then there are those...
Since when has the RSS started issuing patriotism certificates? I want one too! But where do I get it from? Ebay or Flipkart? :rolleyes1: I'll frame it and hang it in my loo! :-)
All these so called 'miracles' are either bullshit or can be explained away by science. It amazes me how naive people are! And half the world is populated by gullible Christians led by the pope who believe this tripe!! So Mother Teresa is gonna become a saint soon? Good for her!
The best airplane for LICO is the American A-10 Warthog. At just $15 million a pop, it's the most cost effective platform that delivers incredible results on the battlefield. That's why the A-10 Warthog is such a badass plane!!
But then that's like comparing apples with oranges!
And by the way, Pakistan is NOT buying these 8 F-16s. It's a gift from the US of A as it's part of the $800 million being doled out as aid to Pakistan for their so called WOT!
Why is Pakistan so desperate to induct American F-16s? Why not the Chinese J-11D variant with fixed electronically scanned array radar, IRST, and capability to fire heavier imaging/infrared (IIR) air-to-air missiles. The air frame makes greater use of composite materials, especially in the...
Firstly, there was no official offer from Russia to sell SU-35 to Pakistan.
Secondly, the SU-35 isn't a 5th gen fighter!
Thirdly, will it be affordable to Pakistan? A SU-35 costs $60 million a pop (Rs 600 crores PKR). Even inducting one squadron would cost a mind boggling $1 billion or more...
