Thanks for the answer. Do you see Pakistani deliver on all that promise though? I wont be so naive as to assume the current situation will be a long term problem. But the inherent instability, whether it is based in Afghanistan or Balochistan or Karachi or any other place is going be there for...

Though I agree with my fellow Pakistanis, is it not a worrying sign that we are ever more reliant on a Chinese political game for something as crucial as defence? Today, granted China needs us as a counter to India, but what if tomorow they find someone else or dont need a diversion to feel...

What is more worrying than the radicalization of the army is the reality of a far more radicalized general population. What we see in the army is a mere byproduct of a nation that has taken a completely different route than could have ever been predicted before Zia and the Soviet Invasion of...

You make a good point, people become highly defensive when someone they consider a competitor points out anything that may be negative. I agree with you, unfortunately many people from my own nation would rather overlook the harsh reality of Pakistan's place in the world today.

Your point is noted, but again, we are hardly responsible for the tech or the airframe design of the jf-17. What differentiates the two aircraft is that we invested directly into the development of the jf-17s and now our producing it in house. We could have done the same with the j-10, had we...

This is pure economics at work here. Any half intelligent businessman will invest into something that provides some sort of return, countries are no different. Investing money into the US and helping to stabilize the American economy, in turns helps the Chinese economy. The Americans are the...

The Russians seem to specialize in these near 5th gen aircraft...4.5, 4.75, 4.99 gen aircraft, its essentially always a marketing ploy for an aviation industry reliant on foreign customers as its only life line. What separates 4th and 5th generation aircraft, first and for most, is the stealth...

I may be deviating from the topic a little bit, but here again is why I feel the PAF should have gone with the j-10 instead of the jf-17 altogether. I understand the inherent advantages of a smaller single engine fighter but they would have been more relevant had we had the technological know...

Thats terrible sportsmanship right there, I dont know how old the Chinese players were, but they were basically fighting 19, 20 year old college kids. Honestly, try that with lebron james or dwight howard...sports should be beyond such things, there is no place for violence or politics in any...

Wow, most of you guys are really successful and highly qualified. I am 23 and just finished my honours B. Comm a couple of months ago, unemployed at the moment, and single.

The sd-10 in the first picture closely resembles the amraam series, while the one in the second picture looks much more like the old sparrow. Is the missile in the first picture the latest sd-10 variant being tested?

How dare a Pakistani get inspired by an Indian...what a disgrace, we shall continue to sit idly by as our nation decays...it is still better than supporting an idea rooted in India right?...sigh...I will never understand why we, Pakistanis, are so willing to put someone down, who is atleast...

The box for likes is too insignificant at the bottom of the post. Getting a thanks actually felt like something consequential, now its almost like an after thought. Dont get me wrong, Im not into announcing to the world that "I love you" to every member that posts a great point:P, but it should...

Revisionist history has always been one of the greatest tools of propaganda through out mans' existence. Aircraft and helis weren't brought down by stingers missiles bought from the very nation the taliban considers as satan today, instead it was a divine act of god, providing the "freedom...

Guys, there is no point, Mr. Storm Force will continue to live in an alternate reality where IAF future procurements count as current threats and Pakistani current equipment is nothing better than what the North Koreans can put in the air. The jf-17 is utterly useless, the f-16 a mere show...

The f-22 was chosen in the early 90s. Missiles were yet to reach the levels of capabilities we see today. High offbore sight missiles with the ability to pull 40 to 50gs were not a reality at that time. The f-35 is a far greater indicator of what the future holds according to the USAF. Some of...

South Asians are some of the most prejudiced people on the planet. We are willing to latch onto any racial, social, geographic, or cultural aspect that shows our superiority over other segments of the population. The color of one's skin is of no importance, neither is what part of South Asia one...

Wow, this thread completely ruined my day. Thats just terrible, there is so much sadness and helplessness in this world and we sit around arguing who has better killing machines...there are people dying out there who have done nothing wrong but to be born in a particular part of the world. If...

Ive always said the benefits of LCA far outweigh its short comings. Its operational importance might be limited by the simple fact that the IAF will have and already has far greater aircraft in its inventory, that is not a slight to the LCA, instead the 21st century reality of an airforce that...

But I dont understand the logic here. We are not replacing the p-3c orions the navy lost due to the deteriorating relationship with the US, yet we are still willing to put our trust and money into a distinctly American product that has proven almost useless the last time we were sanctioned...
