A senior US Army commander today told the CNN that there is no indication that Nasiruddin Haqqani was indeed detained. Now, generally, the ordinary US soldier would not know this type of information, but this officer was the US operations commander of the region where the Haqqani Network...

Power demand can be divided into two key areas, baseload demand and peak or "on-demand" power. Baseload power is the approximate power that is absolutely necessary at all times of the day throughout the year, whereas Peak power is real-time difference between total demand and the estimated...

A French Revolution in Pakistan? Many on this forum would love that. Secularization and truly Western-style Democracy in Pakistan is a dream of many senior members here. Only problem is, they believe Gen. Musharraf to be the champion of such a revolution, not Altaf Hussain. To me, an idea of...

This sense of self-entitlement pisses me off to no end. We haven't done anything for anyone but ourselves, and Arabs are no more useless than you or I. The soldiers who went and fought with the Iraqis, Syrians and Jordanians did so because they believed it was their duty to do so, and the ones...

I have already presented one possible reason for the failure. There seems to be too little time between the original break-off and the explosion for there to be consensus and transfer of command. In any case, why not tell your people you purposely destroyed a billions of dollars worth of...

Hello, Well, it's simple F=ma. The thrust is the F, i.e., the force required to accelerate the entire mass of the rocket. Since the mass fell off suddenly, the m changed quickly. However, the control system cannot very the thrust as quickly, therefore, for a short period of time, the F was...

Both the 1973 and the 1967 Arab-Israeli wars took place two years after Indo-Pak wars. One possible reason for the success of our pilots could well be the combat experience gained against a foe that outnumbered them. King Hussain of Jordan, who himself was a Pilot in the RJAF, even awarded PAF...

Do you think that it was a sudden change in mass that led the rocket astray? Or do you think it was an internal issue? It's interesting that something broke-off moments before the destruction. Maybe the sudden delta m resulted in a massive delta a for a short period of time (since thrust cannot...

Source please. Morarji Desai received the Nishan-e-Pakistan 1990 during the time when Benazir Bhutto was in power. Mr. Desai made this remark in 1979. On the one hand you want to destroy a country, and on the other you accept its highest civilian order. Amazing character, or lack thereof Edit...

Priorities, my friend. Pakistan's focus is always "go slow, but do it right". India's been "just put it together we'll work out the bugs later". It's a difference in the engineering approach. Slow and steady wins the race.

No, sir, not underestimating the LCA. Merely pointing to the fact that it is far behind on schedule and still under-developed, partially owing to India's lack of experience in the area. I followed that by saying that "this is a Russian design", i.e., they have done this a hundred times in the...

Hasnain009, I am not talking about engineering a Fifth Gen aircraft on our own, I'm not stupid. I am saying that we must start making moves in that direction. Compare Pakistan's aero industry to India's and you'll realize the gap isn't as huge as the case with India-China, still India is moving...

With all that the TAI is capable of doing, designing a fighter jet makes a lot of sense. I don't think this will be a "zero to hero" kind of deal. Most likely you will modify an existing design to your specifications in-house. Kind of like the F-2 or the Lavi project. By the way, I have been...

A fifth generation air force capability is one of four key areas that India has a head-start on Pakistan in, and in which Pakistan seems to be dragging its feet. The others are: space technology (both civilian and defensive), nuclear reactor technology (civilian and defensive) and a missile...

First things first, you must not go against your parents. That means you should try to convince them using reason, not emotional drama. Find out what their concerns are and try to communicate to them why you want to join the services, and I am sure after they've seen your passion, they will...

It's like you took our crack away, and just as we were sobering up, you offer us some more. Webby you a baaaad man.

Surely you don't disbelieve in all polls? 13% of the respondents of this poll were from North Waziristan. I would recommend that everyone go through the tables and graphs at least once before rejecting this report. To me, it makes a lot of sense despite the fact that one or two things were...

Firstly, 1GB power-plant, that is funny. A 1 GigaWatt power-plant is possible, but not using just 1 reactor. Only companies in the United States, Canada and Italy offer 1GW reactors or more (AECL, Westinghouse, General Electric, Areva etc). If you want a power capacity of 1GW, you must build a...

You will both find your answers in the survey. Almost the exact questions you have asked were part of the survey, at least bother to read it before you comment. They interviewed people within the areas hit by drones, IDPs, people in surrounding tribal regions etc. and have been doing it every...
