If the fact that it's home grown is not enough for you: It is single engined and lighter. Which means more of these can be carried and they have far lower cost per hour of flight. So while it may be unsuited for strike roles, it is ideal for CAP.

Mumbai metro was about 60% funded by Japan. Delhi was 40-50% Japan and World bank. Some other Metros are funded similarly and some are not funded at all. But all these loans are development loans which have extremely low interest rates. China would readily give Pakistan similar loans (heck...

How does that matter? It's not for the population to understand. The consultants/engineers must have a reason? And I hope that reason is not to save on the 20-30% extra that you might have to spend. Because that is very short sighted thinking. 1)According to this dawn article, the Lahore...

To all Pakistani members: I've noticed that you guys are building beautiful viaducts in all your cities. But using them for bus rapid transit. This makes no sense to me. Even the busiest BRT lines can handle less passengers than a metro line. What I don't seem to understand is, since you're...

That's an american Bunker Buster.

Here's the orion capsule from it's first test launch two weeks ago. No burn marks. I don't have much knowledge, but it may be because of the materials used, or the fact that this was a suborbital test.

Not shocked at all and I'm a very proud secular. Separation of religion and state is what makes me want to fight for our country. To each his own, but there is no need to blanket insult every liberal.

Not really. But it's cool. Let them radicalise people. Arm them. Train them. All we have to do is resist them. Then these dogs will turn on their own masters. Remember a hungry dog has no loyalty.

It is absolutely fine. Let them free every single 'good' terrorist. 10 years from now they will be the victims of these very same animals.

Pak forces have gunned down 3 terrorists according to some reports. Hopefully they'll get the others before long.

You know according to the official Pakistani version, PNS Ghazi blew herself up along with 92 sailors. Never throw stones when you live in a glass house. Either way, please refrain from making fun of an incident that cost the lives of 18 men. Especially since it occurred during peace time.

Sensationalist journalism. There is no market. Moreover, this will probably be subject to india selecting the Ka 226 as an LUH, which is not happening.

That is a very good point. All you proud kulcha defenders who value traditions over pragmatism, please feel free to enroll your kids into vernacular schools. I'll be willing to bet my house not one of you will walk the talk.

Very proud secular here. And I'm most definitely not a fan of western culture. But Bhartiya Sanskriti isn't one bit appealing either. Dowry, Patriarchy, Inequality, etc are all drawbacks most certainly connected to culture. And most secularists I know have much higher IQs than the...

Ground tests involve firing up the engine without the aircraft taking off to measure various parameters like frame vibration. What I'd like to know is whether the Ground test vehicle is also going to be the first prototype? Or is it meant strictly for ground tests only?

They built 2. Counting PV6. Also they released a schedule at the time of IOC II which said they'd produce 2 in 2014, 4 in 2015, 8 in 2016 and 12 a year thereafter.

The amount of goodwill this is generating is amazing! I've been following this issue all day. Here are just a small fraction of the examples: I'm not kidding when I say there are hundreds of these. Go to twitter and see for yourselves.

@hans: Doesn't china operate a massive fleet of fast missile boats? If they're as useless as you say they are, then how do they fit into the Chinese Naval doctrine? India has been an operator of missile boats since their early days, but has stopped induction of any new classes since the last 20...

Can someone clarify why the cost of 32 Dhruv Helicopters is pegged at 7000 crore? That's 220 crore rupees/$36 million per helicopter! Surely that's a preposterous price, even if the life cycle costs are included.
