Pakistan is not starting the negotiations TODAY, they are already underway. Our F-7s are already equipped with Italian avionics.

This would not affect anything, would it? Is it not already announced that the first fifty JF-17s will have Chinese avionics? Currently we have some twelve JF-17s; I conservatively estimate that the 50th JF-17 will be delivered to PAF somewhere around 2012 or maybe 2013. So we effectively have...

Negotiating with Italy IS a backup plan and even if that plan fails, PAF HAS Chinese option open. World will not come to an end if this deal (which is currently on-hold) falls apart; In fact who knows PAF was really dying for this deal or was trying to 'cajole' Chinese to come up with superior...

Please avoid inserting your words in his mouth. No where in his post he declared French equipment useless or worst. At any rate, any equipment is good so long you have access to it, anything beyond access is indeed useless anyway. French are notorious when doing business deals, and while MRCA...

So long the technology is not falling in Chinese hands through Pakistan, this should not affect Pakistan. At any rate, I have always maintain that we must sack our 'western technology' obsession for good otherwise we will (though already are) sink under the weight of this self-imposed...

Similar 'logic' is also prevalent on the other side. Level minded people do exist on both the sides hence generalization is useless.

Except for the part in red (no need to insult a member), I agree with you one hundred percent. Even though every thing that India would procure from US would have a certain price tag on it, and the price tag US puts on its goods means more than just money. Whether India would be prepared to pay...

Looks like the whole SD-10 thing is suddenly on the back burner. That has always been my fear and concern with every new induction of US-made sanction-prone military hardware albeit technologically superior. Pakistan was definitely doing better under the sanctions as more importance was given to...

If it was not my flag, I would have called this design composition and position ugly. Besides, I am more concerned about the service rather than what is painted on the tail. What were the days when we had much simpler designs yet PIA was among the best airlines of the world.

Yes, it was absolutely possible not to get engage in that unholy war called Afghan Jihad (and sacrifice Pakistan). The 'Warm Water' theory was as flawed as was the 'Domino' theory. Even if it was inevitable to stop USSR in Afghanistan, it could have done without letting hordes of Afghans roam in...

In my opinion, the Malabar residence belongs to the Jinnah who was the citizen of the British India. After the partition, the properties (real estates) were abandoned on both the sides; sometimes claims were made, sometimes not. At any rate, those who migrated, lost legal claims on their...

That is correct that there is no 'Khoja' sect, but 'Khoja Shia brotherhood', which is primarily 'Ithnaasheri' (Twelver) Shia. Some Khoja also follow Aga Khani religion (in my opinion based on reading their origin, history and practices, Aga Khani is no Islamic sect but a separate religion). I...

Such delays are pretty normal for these kind of projects; I'll keep my fingers crossed. The most reassuring is the fact that in this project, our partner is trustworthy China, not some backstabber. We might experience some delays, but project will be successfully completed.

No one said the refueling was fake, however, the photo (only one) appeared in the media was definitely fake. Even these photos which you got from a video footage show a drogue being extended from the tanker, no contact with an aircraft is evident.

The precedence of procuring second hand airplanes form multiple users is already set in the case of F-86s, and later for Mirages. If PAF's romance continues with almost three decade old F-16s and the PAF remains adamant to sink her already limited resources in an embargo-prone airplane, than the...

Which medical test can reveal your actual age?

Please do not doubt; even late Irshad Ahmed Haqqani (famous columnist) had to make a personal request to the JI's high command to save him from the notoriety of the IJT for he (Mr. Haqqani) was critical on JI's policies and IJT's mugging activities in the learning institutions. While in the...

Where is the proof of any such warning? Looks like what role 'Jang' was playing for the PML(N), is now being played by the 'Dawn' for the PPP. If that 'anonymous' PPP politician had any concrete proof (audio recordings etc) he wouldn't have to conceal his identity like this. Recently PML(N) had...

With due respect, I do not agree with you. I do not support dating and other crap, Allah has saved me from all this nonsense during my young hood; However, I also do not support those who try to stop these activities using violence as a tool. I am a believer of 'amr bil maaroof, nahi anil...
