This event and many others like it over the last decade have shown the complete lack of trust that exists between the Americans and the Afghans. There is blame to go both ways, how the Americans repetitively overlook such key cultural and religious aspects of what Afghans hold dear amazes me. At...

Too many members from both sides are suffering from the "if everything breaks right" syndrome, proclaiming capabilities of their respective forces in the perfect circumstances, where the adversary is essentially brain dead. If we are to discuss this rationally, then there is no reason to doubt...

Er...you do realize by supporting the violation of sovereign territory and taking pleasure in the humiliation of nation, you just about make a mockery of everything the United States is claiming it's doing in trying to create a stable and peaceful region. There is a necessity for Pakistan and...

One cannot overlook the ground realities of a nation led by a military trying to justify its power and a civilian leadership hell bent on maintaining the status quo of feudalism and corruption. Any "massive carrot" will go straight into the pockets of these power players, the nation will gain...

People tend to overreact to big headline news. Is the Rafale a superb aircraft? Ofcourse. But is it going to significantly skew the relative balance further against the PAF? I doubt it. That isn't necessarily a good thing, since the current standing of PAF relative to IAF is nothing to feel safe...

Economic policies of nations evolve with time and play to the needs and wants of the people. Capitalism, in it's very essence is the system built on fairness...without which, there is no capitalism at all. The inherent fairness in the system, which allows for the best, most unique product to...

That is so very cool. You sir, have accomplished things the rest of us will only dream of. Congratulations and keep up the good work!

That is a terrible thing to say, women aren't your plaything that exist to do your bidding. Learn to respect them and you'll be happier for it.

In the Iran-Iraq war, the Iranians thoroughly outclassed the Iraqis, even after having lost many talented men to the purge that followed the revolution. Their superiority was based on their training, tactics, and equipment...all of which owe their origin to the US. The inability of the Iranian...

I still think a huge problem with our nation remains our complete lack of flexibility. Friendships and adversaries are merely byproducts of self serving interests and that makes the world a very dynamic place. Pakistanis remain completely obsessed with the Indian threat; one which the...

More than religion, homophobia has far more to do with culture. Most of the prominent religions of the world oppose anything to do with gays, yet they are accepted as a valuable part of society in many nations in the west. There is a general lack of understanding in many of these Asian...

Nations don't tend to go broke in the conventional sense. Economics at a national level is merely a tug of war between competing interests and while American debt is nothing to laugh at, it is hardly going to prevent it from waging war. The US role in the global economy is always overlooked...

This is the craziest thread ever. Too bad my uncle is a handicap or I'd get into the action. Seriously, poor Asian kid gets beaten up and Pakistanis and Indians still find a way to make this about who has superior genetics. Bullying is a terrible thing, it can cause serious psychological harm...

Common, we aren't giving the jf-17 a fair chance. Relative to the f-7s and Mirages it is replacing, the Thunder is a massive leap in capabilities. It is doing what it was meant to do, provide a low cost replacement for the wide majority of our aging fleet. Expecting a 4.5 generation aircraft is...

It should be really interesting as to how the Su-30MKI and Eurofighter co-exist. Essentially the IAF chose the aircraft that most closely replicates the capabilities of the sukhois and has the least to offer in terms of multirole capability. Ideally, the Rafale would have been the better option...

When law and order breaks down, the worst in all people comes out. There is a very dark side to the human mind that has been exposed throughout history over and over again, whenever people have been left without any supervision or are no longer answerable to anyone. No different than a child...

@Gambit How come the Russians and Chinese, as well as the f-35 have no stealthy nozzles for a lack of a better term? Shouldn't the exposed nozzles be a big detriment to any low observability aircraft? It doesn't make sense to my uninformed mind to go through the trouble of building expensive...

Wait, arent you the guy constantly claiming Pakistan has no funds for new aircraft. The infrastructure and training established over the last 25 years is extremely relevant. The PAF had the pilots and the tactics developed to a certain degree...Of the 4th gen aircraft, it was the only one...

That is pretty crucial. It is unlikely pilots will willingly fly into a situation where shooting down and being shot down becomes a 50-50 proposition. Taking shots from a distance is where modern air warfare is headed. No stealth aircraft will want to go in close and negate it's very advantages...

We are perceived terribly around the world and right here is a perfect example why. The whole article sounds like a cartoon; our society has completely lost itself in this religious mania...completely sane men have begun to see everything as a referendum on Islam. Qadri is nothing short of a...
