Hi, this is a depressing article to read. Pakistan has a literacy rate of 50%, and it is probably lower for women. I have lived in Singapore, and it amazing how developed that city state is, and how good the law and order situation is. Education drives national prosperity – The...

Hi, I am not a false flagger, just offering my honest opinion. No insult or spamming was intended at all, and I am sorry if it was taken that way. I had just read an article on extortion of businessmen in Karachi, and I guess that sentiment carried over in my earlier post. A nuclear...

Hi, just to add to the point above. Some readers might be confused by the fact the US launches the Tomahawk LACM via the air. However, kindly please recall that the Tomahawk cruise missile is launched in the air by the B-52. The B-52 has a huge weapons bay and can accomodate these missiles...

Hi, probably from China. When has Pakistan really paid for any major defense purchase? Kind of sad, cannot feed and educate their population, or even provide the basic level of security for their citizens, but are willing to invest in these expensive toys.

Hi, composites are hard and expensive to maintain. If an aluminum or metal part of the airframe skin is damaged, it can be welded, or a peice cut out and a new one reattached. Composites parts cannot be that easily fixed, special glues have to be used, or the entire part replaced. Composites...

Hi, I think the reply by Mr. Agni 5 says it all. Moreover, I think he said it very politely... Junk in = Junk out!

Hi Mr. Mughaljee, this article is over a year old, and nothing has become of it. Maybe the deal has been signed, and the PN is simply being tight lipped, but nothing public has come out.

Hi, when I read this article, I physically got sick and disgusted. What a disgrace, force some to leave because they have a different belief. This country seems to be de-evolving into the dark ages by each passing day. What a shame to say the least. My parents are shocked everytime they...

Hi, kindly please remember any modern naval fleet has a robust air defense consisting of long range SAMs, fighter air cover, and a last line of defense against anti-ship missiles. The JF-17 will have to fight its way in against Harriers, MiG-29s, and avoid surface to air missiles, and if it can...

Hi, can you kindly please give a reference to this? Thanks!

Hi good post Mr. MK. To add to it, the first thing a pilot does in air-to-air combat is "punch" his fuel tanks, eject them! Fuel tanks are a huge drag on maneuverability, and also a fire/explosion hazard when someone is shooting at you.

Hi, what would you prefer? A system that works or a system that is superior in theory, but not operational. The JF-17 will have to wait for a working and reliable AESA system, same as the J-10B.

Hi, to add to the above point. Whenever a two seater plane is made, there tends to be a reduction in combat capabilities, unless the powerplant is improved. The second seat takes up the space of existing electrontics and/or fuel tanks. The work around usually is, reducing the electronic...

Hi, the current government and fiscal manager are an absolute disgrace. These numbers are simply unbelievable... Pakistan is going to be worse off the Greece in a few years, and no one will bail her out. Out of pocket: Fiscal deficit widens to Rs935b in first half – The Express...

Hi, if one lives in the past they are doomed to repeat it... No need to debate what could have been, what should have been. Pakistan is struggling now with its finances, and one cannot look back and say she should have done this. Pakistan has to see what it can induct with its current resources.
