I don't see any hope in Afghanistan. At least, as long as drug war lords are ruling the country there's no future. The Taliban argument is totally irrelevant in this respect. Whether Taliban are there or not doesn't change the fact that Afghanistan is based on a tribal society. There are...

Trade is just one aspect of a relationship. Both India and the opposite side have a mutual benefit in trading with one another. In fact, the Indians even approach Pakistan for transit route whilst considering it an arch enemy. It's naive and not representative on your behalf to compare Indian...

That's very certain. There is no way the IAF can induct 5th gen aircraft before 2020.

Well, that remains to be seen as judging by past record it doesn't bode very well. The single or multiple theatre argument still doesn't take away the logistical difficulties that the IAF will have to face during induction and thereafter. I'm very interested to see how the IAF will face this...

No doubt. I've never denied that. I'm also not trying to belittle Israeli ingenuity. However, some people like Solomon like to exaggerate to an extent where I put my question marks.

The Israelis still had superior Western equipment (Dassault Mirage, Dassault Super Mystère, Dassault Mystère IV etc.) as compared to the USSR junk possessed by the Arabs. Anyhow, you're right that the Israelis nailed the Arabs and credit must go to them due to the numerical advantage...

"We are requesting information from China regarding the purpose for conducting this interception as well as China's intentions and plans to pursue future types of intercepts." LOL Yep, please China, come forward and answer these questions. *sarc* What a load of BS. How about the Chinese...

I think it's time to be very open about our intentions. We should express our concern openly which is legitimate. We have the right to go after those that cross from the other side and kill our innocent people.

No doubt the Jews have progressed after WW2 tradegy. However, without US support Israel won't last very long. That sums it all up.

Well, I wouldn't be all too optimistic about US intentions. The US has a policy of playing double games. The US has hardly reacted to the Indian army chiefs statements. The Americans are just protecting their hegemonic interests by siding with India in order to create a divide in the region. The...

The deal is obviously fantastic. There's no doubt that the US will offer these fighter air craft to India. However, I wonder what effect the induction of different fighter air craft squadrons will have on the readiness and logistical side of things? Will this not represent a logistical nightmare...

Conclusion is that inaction from the GoP has resulted in terror flowing from across the border hills into Pakistani towns and cities. Instead of pro-actively implementing feasible solutions these people have wasted precious time and allowed terror to spread all across the country. The lethargic...

The impression that I'm getting about the naysayers whilst reading previous posts is that their denial, negative and hostile attitude stems from a very different set of reasons. This debate isn't rational due to the biased arguments and nonsensical refusals put forward by the naysayers. The fact...

That's just utter nonsense. You certainly have no idea what you're talking about. You don't seem to be familiar at all with Pakistani defence deals. Pakistan will have a sizeable fleet of AWACS/AEW&C in the near future. Erieye's are just the tip of the iceberg and will be complemented with...

We need to go after these terrorists across the border into Afghanistan and hunt them down. Apply the same anti-terror strategy as Turkey did chasing terrorists in Iraq. There is not a single shred of doubt that Afghan soil is being used extensively to plot and carry out suicide missions in...

It's very heartening to see China develop and prosper at such a magnificent pace. China is also to launch a Pakistani satellite. China Pakistan relations are historical. The defence cooperation speaks volumes. I hope that Pakistan takes a leaf out of China's book. China is a sincere friend of...

There are a plethora of questions that need to be answered. It's very easy for the US to find a scapegoat and point fingers at. Which by the way isn't going to help the cause in anyway. The blame game will only add more suspicion and deteriorate an already fragile relation. Something that the US...

The US has a lost a lot of credibility and respect during the Bush tenure. The privacy of the people has been severely invaded. New laws for spying on their own citizens have been introduced. As a result many people in the US live with insecurity. Such tales don't surprise me. I'm glad that I've...

Something that was initially blamed on Pakistan by some of our respected members. How different the truth can turn out to be.

The US is in no position to fight wars at multiple fronts. Especially, considering that wars in Afghanistan and Iraq haven't even reached any conclusion yet. Not to mention, the US economic situation which is in doldrums. A war against Iran will plunge the war in Afghanistan into disarray. Also...
