I simply do not understand the confusion that the IN has wrt the Scorpenes. If the DM2A4 has a longer service life, has seen operational combat and can be integrated with the help of UDS into the SUBTICS system, what are the advantages present in the Blackshark ? IN can try integrating the...
Pakistan a friend? Try the word fiend
By C.W. GUSEWELLE

To speak of Pakistan as Americas partner in the war against global terrorism is both an abuse of fact and an insult to the publics intelligence.
The better description of that chaotic and incompetently...
Send me the entire report then as it says. The classification as per an Asia-Pacific index and China index and Japan index just makes matters hazy. Better be dumb than dishonest. At least u won't be riled for not learning instead of not learning the right thing.
I won't deny that. But research even on a academic env. works in a similar manner. Imagine a PhD student who works on his problem, the easier way for getting a PhD is significant incremental updates to his work and enable him to publish in Conferences 2-3 times a year. It is very unlikely that...

As usual the rote-learning chinese has failed to read what i wrote. I talked about the index :: Chinese-origin fudged-up index like Nature Publishing Index 2011 China.
I am not talking about any Chinese-origin fudged-up index like Nature Publishing Index. Get me an authentic one like the Reuters one along with the sample size over a period of time and then compare.
Here comes the rote-learning Chinese ; Son, in my previous post i was talking about Quality (hint : in this context Acceptance rates, but also involves h-index, Spec. Index and so on). So read, comprehend and reply.
You just beat the dead horse ; It is known that the research quality of the US, UK, Germany and France is quite ahead that India, China or even Japan. The acceptance rates will slowly increase (more like a quadratic curve) for India and China to reach to the level attained by the US.
Emerging nations lead increasing output in research and publishing workflow
For years, Western European nations and North America were at the center of the scholarly publishing community. Globally submissions continue to rise, but countries such as China and India are increasing their research...
If and Buts do not work in the real world. Any number of possibilities can happen with an If. If the next dirty-bomb going off in the US is traced back to Pakistan, If Zawahiri is dragged out of Pakistan alive sovereignty be damned, If Pakistan escalates hostilities with Afghanistan and so on...
The Pakistani state still is a conventional fighting unit, until then its open season for the F-16s/18s/22s/B-2s unlike the guerrilla insurgents hiding like rats and blowing up civilians. Which means only when the Pakistani defences becomes an equivalent version of the rag-tag Talibunnies will...
And what force can PA use ? Any retaliation by either the Army or PAF will make those shiny toys go up in flames, and all PAF can do is piggyback on them Chinese JunkFighters till kingdom come. So the state of Pakistan can only sit with the thumbs up theirs while we see more and more Drone...
What Pakistan has been reaping in the form of drones is the WhirlWind when they sowed as the wind in the form of the Taliban. The drones are absolutely justifiable when the writ of the state is absent and the foreign terrorists under the Al Qaeda banner are allowed to congregate and attack the...
Once the US winds up the war from Afghanistan, leaving its special forces and bases here, US will not only extract its pound of flesh but will extract every drop of blood that ISAF has spilled. Pakistan is living in an extremely adverse and hostile climate which Pakistanis living in the very lap...
Heck, this translates to more Drones, more economic sanctions, more international isolation and finally an escalation of the clusterfcuk situation already in Pakistan. Pakistan stands to lose more and more with this confrontational attitude and post ISAF-withdrawal (2014), with Afghanistan as a...
Fantastic news ; NATO has begun to shoulder true responsibility of their task ahead in Afghanistan. Like Italy, all the other NATO members need to be armed with them MQ-9s. Like the Americans, they too have realized that the Predators are the only game in town against these jihadists. Its open...
Pakistan army must transcend its narrow institutional interests
Pakistani generals have often precipitated the very outcome they seek to forestall by trying to punch far above their weight.
The summit in Chicago did not go well. The almost daily drone strikes, the standoff over Dr Afridi...
COMMENT: What the Afridi case says about Pakistan Tony Letford
Why should a man who played a small part in the demise of the worlds most wanted terrorist merit 33 years in prison?
There is a question that usually sits at the back of my mind but is brought to the fore every now and...
