What to demand in ToT? It is an interesting question, when looked upon on purely defence point of view. well it simply depands the how much wiling the country concerned is, providing technology to us. But then it also depands upon our own requirement, how far we can go. Weapons are expansive...

I think both are one and the same thing Nowadays, i think, there are submarines to transport special forces trrops (like SEALs), from deep waters to off shore / shallow waters. Yet they are not the dedicated transport submarines, simply an extar feature in a Hunter Killer sub. By the...

It is really heartening to read that our heros are equally praised for their professionalism and courage by adversaries. :pakistan: I would like to ask the eminent memebrs regarding involvement of PAF in Kargil operation. It is believed that when Kargil opeartion was being orchestrated by...

I want to ask this sir! How PAF Air Defence and Army Air Defence are integrated, and co-ordinated with each other. Who exercise the final "GO" option when launching own assets against intruder?

Pakistan Army should concentrate on upgrading of presently held AH-1F Cobras. it is highly cost effective. Switching to a new technology is higly costly option, and technically not viable. Reasons: 1. Army has Cobras for more then 20 years. Pilots and Maitenance personnel have hands on...
