The SR-71 was replaced by satellites, it was expensive and obsolete (dating to the 1960s). The SR-71 was in service from 1966 to 1998. The MiG-31 entered service in 1979. So... the MiG-31 was so scary the US continued to operate the SR-71 for another 19 years while the MiG-31 was in...

Because Russia is not getting them. They will not be scrapped. India (far more likely, but still not likely) and Pakistan (not gonna happen) are theoretically potential customers. It's interesting to talk about where they two ships may wind up. India isn't going to buy them because they are...

The "bitching" about Rio now is that the water quality will be "raw sewage" level. Is that really "inane"? If you can't do it, you can't do it. Don't blame others for your own failures. The fact that you don't see these problems as problems indicates you are no where near ready to host...

When do you want to blow $50 billion to no good end? That's when. It's a sucker's game.

Why are you taking money from various donor countries, if you have your own? Beg much??

This is Pakistan? **** is ok, as long as it wasn't made in Pakistan. And fake degrees are not worth mentioning.

1) You take this deep racial crap way too seriously. 2) Germany does not have a competent army at the moment. You recall that France, Britain, and Italy were not able to carry out a bombing campaign in Libya for a month without US support? How would Germany (less capable) get at Finland (far...

I'm sure if Finland wound up in a war with Russia, Russia would continue to send spare parts for Su-35s to Finland. /s

Yes, America is so good at predicting things that they knew that Palestinians would try to get Israel kicked out of FIFA now, that they investigated American Chuck Blazer, and he pleaded guilty back in 2013. He agreed to be fitted with a wire and record FIFA executive meetings - all so that in...

I think the important thing was getting her out the job - apparently acquired via nepotism. I don't think prison/jail time was warranted, just firing - and maybe firing her dad too, for appointing his kids to such positions. Related, it should be a made clear by aviation authorities that...

Meh. At least they didn't crash into it.

When the bomb is as big as the boat, it's overkill.

At least he can make a living in his own country.

Anti-step #1: Threaten your neighbors (US has excellent relations with both Canada and Mexico - the only nearby country we've had problems with is Cuba).

The US has consistently denied it has had any knowledge of the fate of the airliner, but Dugain doubts the US, which is “equipped with the best technology in the world” could have completely lost track of “a 63-meter-long object.” This is almost as ridiculous as the Iraqis right after the fall...

What I've learned from reading this site is that there are a lot of Pakistanis with ridiculously high opinions of Pakistan and ridiculously low opinions of everywhere else. I routinely see complete denial of any kind of problem in Pakistan when it's obvious that it's Pakistanis killing other...

How would India get Muslim extremists to attack Pakistan? India has too many problems with Muslim extremists already to be able to think of doing such things. This is just more of the Muslim world blaming others for their internal conflicts and oppressions. Far and away, the biggest problem...

Hmm, the 52 -> 12 news is several weeks old, and widely reported. The Russian government is hedging, of course - "we will decide how many of them we still need – and how much we can afford". But isn't looking good. Russian Air Force to buy fewer PAK FA fighter aircraft | Russia & India Report...

I read this article earlier today, which implies that India has cut off further funding to Russia on the FGFA project. Russia's Stealth Fighter Is in Serious Trouble | RealClearDefense Has anyone read/heard anything from another source on this? I've read previously that the project was in dire...

Knock yourself out. My point was, you should try to view the world from alternative perspectives. I am here, an American, on a Pakistani website, getting alternative points of view. Where/how do you get alternative views?
