Good going. Sri Lankans are good buddies of ours...

That may very well be one of reasons and another has to be paucity of funds. We do not really seem to be bridled in talent arena though. And, we have ICBMs under development already, Shaheen III is supposed to do 4000 km and Taimur, a mighty 6000+. The latter surely puts the country in the...

Wise words, indeed! Pity, that we fail to draw inspiration from our own legends...

Sure bro, we need to step out of this nationalism like the EU has. We will surely stay nationals of our respective countries, but there is certainly a lot of scope and capacity to strengthen the OIC to promote inter-alia trade, commerce & social ties. United, we stand! This will also help...

Cannot agree more, here. I am really looking forward to WS-10A and use of composites in order to get TWR at 1, and also look forward to Thunder doing 9Gs!

A dozen on a literal note. In fact, any number where we can get down to a population and land-area, that can be looked after in a fine manner.

That's exactly what I said in an earlier post. The time in itself is strategic!

I wanted to know that are the same shirt color codes applicable for the crew on runways in Air Bases, like the ones on carriers..?

Integrated BMS have been installed though and are completely operational. I agree that they need to mature but that will ensue soon. AK also provides for separate laser range finders for Commander and Gunner, so that the former can set up an aim independently. This allows critical time saving.

I am happy for Turkey and a really outstanding offset ratio: A solid seventy percent. Turkey is another text book example of stablize-the-economy and muscle will automatically ensue. No wonder, they are sure to scale greater heights: All the best with arms for peace!

Great Idea but years old one. I loathe these understandings, agreements & MoUs now, let us get going now... The iron is hot, strike, pull up the coup before another gateway surfaces. Exploit!

Sure. Conquering Afghanistan is as easy as said but when one wishes to consolidate the gains and goes to hold the territory, it is then the men drown from te barren hills to wreck both the conqueror and the conquered. Ignore them should be the mantra.

Sir, the people here pay Zakat, regularly and in private. Hardly any people trust government with it. As soon as government can free itself of corruption, nepotism and other unethical practises, the people will volunteer to pay taxes, zakat and alms. It all comes down to a malfunctioning...

The dawn of Islam is promised and in it lies the only salavation. Here, we muslims have drifted away from our pride to fall prey to smears of the world. The day we return to real Islam, the dawn will dawn. It is no more a myth that Interest is what puts the economies at mercy of dangerous...

Absolutely right but they have been acquiring weapons from Pakistan like Super Mashak and as I posted earlier, they held Al Khalid trials for almost 2 years. The point is they are not going to buy any overtly high-tech stuff from us like fighter jets but other arms are always a possibility...

It's becoming a hope galore only. How ironic, man!

It is the man behind the gun who matters. Instead of discouraging new provinces, we should have the lucrative packages sent down the bin. Smaller provinces will hopefully be in a better position to address issues at micro level. I also expect this to rachet up the quality of governance just...

I am all for new provinces based on administrative grounds although for PPP it is more like divide and rule stuff for federation. Many small loose provinces will strenghten the centre as being the undisputed, more of a father-like patron, a protector rather than one to wrestle with. I believe...

Sure, Navy will move on but the loss was a huge one. That day at PNS Mehran was a real bad one... Hope we get our outstanding 14 F-16 AM/BMs though, those are much more essential.

So, Khar was no there, Salman Bashir must have fit into the shoes though, only better. The news is old but this piece did add on to some aspects of the talk and missed on others like upcoming defence deals & deferring oil payments for a third straight year. Long Live Pak-Saudi Friendship...
