    Pakistan Army Aviation Corps - Updated

    Bismillah ir Rahman ar Raheem As Oscar has said, the problem with the Z-10 is the power-to-weight ratio. CAIC Z-10: 16,000 lbs. / 2700 shp. = @ 6 lbs./shp 20,000 ft. ceiling claimed (highly dubious) AH1F Modernized: 10,000 lbs. / 1,800 shp. = @ 5.5 lbs./shp 12,000+ ft. ceiling TAI T-129...

    Think twice before you marry a cousin

    Bismillah ir Rahman ar Raheem The Yehud used to pester Musa (Peace be upon him) on every little matter - please see the case of the Ba'qara (Cow) in the Quran surah (Ch. 2: Verse 67-71) of the same name. Thus, they had themselves to blame for a lot of limitations posed upon them, such as...

    Bismillah ir Rahman ar Raheem Fault is in my comprehension, brother. I don't know of the practice you mention. I know the F-/A-18As suffered from short range even when loaded up with two or three tanks, and had to be almost empty of fuel and not carrying more than two 1000-pounder bombs and...
