Whatever the reason the US hasn't attacked Iran is, it has nothing to do with their capabilities. The Iranians wouldn't stand a chance against the might of the USAF. Actually, considering the lack of parts and age of most of their Shah-era fighters, they would be lucky to put up a fight at all...

My man, you are missing a very simple point. An aircraft could have all the engine thrust it would ever want, but the rapid advancement in BVR missile technology is reducing the relevance of high power engines and super maneuverability. What will doing acrobatic maneuvers accomplish, when the...

The problem with the government is, that we elect them. If our thinking and society are flawed, then so will the government. And as much as we like to believe otherwise, the Nawaz Sharifs and Zardaris and Altaf Hussains all come from among us...privileged, yes, but still, from among us. Our...

There is a sad sort of reality to the idea that society is just a generalized representation of the people that form it. We, as in Pakistanis of all religions and education levels play an equal part in making it what it is. There are too few educated liberals and too many extremists, but we play...

Thats not the point. It could be even less advanced, but when it forms more than half your main adversary's force, you will be vvvvery interested in its capabilities. The reality is, knowing what the jf-17 is capable of will solve half the puzzle in bringing it down. Im sure you believe the IAF...

Exporting the jf-17 is an uncomfortable idea to me. We know how greatly the PAF pilots have benefited over the years by flying aircraft that the IAF deployed. In an era when no nation is willing to sell us anything, or we simply cant afford it, the IAF is the one that has extensively tested the...

Welcome to the grand muslim nation of Pakistan. Whenever something terrible happens, we blame it on India, Israel, or America; when something good happens we claim it is god's gift to the people...essentially we, ourselves, are responsible for nothing. Pakistani men did this, to Pakistani school...

The Iranian military, and more specifically its air force was one of the most potent forces on the planet by the late 70s. The destruction of this once great military arm is sad to watch. Even with all the executions and attempts to eliminate from the ranks all Shah sympathizers, the Iranian air...

A region that gave much to the world, culturally, is now hijacked by a completely extreme form of Islam. Its a nation that seems to be going in a direction that is ill fitting of its place in the historical context of the world. In their haste to relieve themselves of one tyrant, the Iranians...

There are thousands of Mumtaz Qadris in Pakistan. For everyman that commits a crime like Qadri, there are many more that consider it and in turn support it...there in lies the problem for modern day Pakistan. Whether we like it or not, those of use who are educated have lost touch with the...

It's interesting to note the contrasting styles of the Israelis and Iranians. The Israelis reveal nothing, even after news breaks publicly...the Iranians on the other hand have apparently pulled together a army to take down the whole middle east all on its own. I can understand a part of it is...

The QS world university rankings are a terrible indicator of university performance. Rankings in general are baised towards the universities of the nations they are produced in. But QS rankings have shown massive year to year fluctuation in university rank that make them highly unreliable...

Unless you have spent an extended amount of time in the west, you can't trully appreciate the situation. if you have lived there, then you would never make such statements. Westerners, and North Americans especially, are far more accepting of foreigners than any other part of the world. It is a...

Im personally uncomfortable relating the deaths of Pakistanis since the beginning of the war on terror with those of innocent civilians, who's only fault was to go to work that infamous morning on September 11. Unfortunately, we, Pakistanis are just as much to blame for the losses we have...

The Pakistani government disregarded its relationships with smaller, less powerful nations over the last 30 years. Our government tends to go for the headlines, strong relationship with nations with global ambitions, who in turn value us far less. Our over dependence on such nations has led us...

People on this forum have a amazingly high opinion of their nations. Neither Indians or Pakistanis, or even Chinese have any relevance to the Israelis or the Palestinians. The parties that have much at stake and, hence, are actually in a position to make a difference are only the middle east...

Did Al Qaeda not take responsibility? I thought it did. Werent the hijackers clearly people of arab dissent with muslim back grounds? Arent all those inspired, by those terrorists, the ones killing innocent people in our own nation today, in the name of a god that would surely turn his back on...

An article about a person making sweeping general statements with little factual backing posted by a person who routinely makes sweeping general statements with little factual backing...hmmm...good stuff. Why post articles like these? If you want, I will help you hand out flyers about how...

A nation so small as to be inconsequential on a world map brings the muslim world so much grief. Instead of "halting Israel", why not ask all those massive muslim nations around the Jewish State to provide Palestinians with some land...in actuality, they could provide more space than...

The jf-17 with a v shaped nose is hardly meant to be a stealth plane and has never been claimed to be one. Without internal weapons carriage, the rcs will with any combination of missiles or bombs on the wings will increase dramatically. As has been mentioned a few times already, the stealth...
