Indian military threatening Pakistan; Pakistani military posturing aggressively...sigh. I see things are back to normal, how dare this region and these two nations go a whole decade without war? Lets all kill each other to make up for lost time. At this point, virtually no one is taking even one...

Thank you for enlightening us brainless Pakistanis. Us, lesser people don't even have the comprehension ability to understand the horse manure that is your post. You may have convinced yourself that the j-10 is the greatest thing since sliced bread, but last I checked, it has had an equally bad...

You're right on that, but that requires the assumption that they will never be used. If a capability exists then there are legitimate plans to use it under specific circumstances. The concept of tactical nukes in its essence requires far more expansive thinking as far as the use of nuclear...

I'm sorry, but how would the introduction of tactical nukes into a conflict NOT be a disaster? There are qualified people planning Pakistan's war fighting capability, right? I am seriously starting to worry that higher ups don't seem to have the slightest clue, if this is indeed true. Just what...

A lot of Indians are letting the emotion of the moment get the better of them. Count yourselves lucky that your soldiers don't die daily, to the point that the concept of mourning has become saturated and the dead have become pure statistics. Border skirmishes are a part and parcel of a region...

The pilot will always be the most important factor in the outcome of any fight. But that has more to do with decision making skills than anything. The advantage of the countless hours spent on training, that make the aircraft an extension of the pilot, himself, are most invaluable. Understanding...

With all due respect, I think you fell into your own trap there. While your thorough knowledge of the Indian armed forces gives you great insight into the capabilities of the IAF, it also creates a bias against systems that aren't as well understood. The IAF capability isn't, and shouldn't be...

That is not fair, you are deliberately misleading. The mid-life upgrade brings all of Pakistan's older f-16s up to the standard of the block 52s, for all intents and purposes. So 80 odd f-16s that have relatively advanced avionics are nothing to laugh at. Similarly, countless members have...

I understand where you're coming from, which is why I virtually never post on threads such as this. It is embarrassing to say the least when my countrymen are involved. Forgive my bias, but I respect the Mods of this forum and always assume that they are good people who would not hesitate to...

Is it worth getting angry at those who gain only enjoyment from the suffering of others? There will always be those who trash others and laugh at their misery, in a bid to drown out their own sorrows and the shortcomings of their own nations. Look at my Pakistani brethren in this thread; every...

The inherent hypocrisy of extremism results in vague restrictions on the lengths to which "Muslims" can go to in order to enforce "Islam". I believe it is of great importance to differentiate their Islam from the one that I think any common man will follow. To most of us, it is our personal...

It is worth remembering that the Russian aeronautical industry is foremost in the business of selling aircraft internationally, as the domestic market has all but died. While the Russian developments trace their lineage back to the Soviets, this isn't the Red Air force of old. The Americans and...

I agree with you completely. Once again my sadly vague post missed the point. I don't think there is anything wrong with a majority of Urdu speakers (I am one and respect every background) or with Pakistanis in general. But that shouldn't be used to gloss over the problem that exists. There are...

As a Mohajir I generally avoid topics that pits Karachi or Urdu speakers against wider Pakistan, since there is nothing worse than arguing with one's countrymen about each others Pakistani-ness. On the other hand, this W.11 fellow represents everything that is wrong with a segment of Urdu...

Is it really possible to partake in a rational discussion on a topic like this? There will always be those who revel in the misery of others; but to whom this affects, I'd find it even harder to separate emotion from the facts. The death of so many innocent children is virtually impossible to...

The offensive role of the MKI as an air superiority fighter plays a large part in its potential performance. Even an aircraft this capable is at a severe disadvantage when it's primary mission is to hunt down other fighters. This scenario provides the hunted with creative opportunities to deny...

That's the biggest issue at this point; the general population has increasingly become supportive of the various extremist elements as Irfan Baloch explained in far more detail than I'm capable of. It is the very reason we need a great amount of urgency moving forward since we cannot afford to...

The problem, good sir, comes with the volatile nature of these beehives and their ability to turn common citizens into killer bees...hmm, took that analogy too far and completely ruined it...my apologies to whomever came up with it. But on a serious note, these are organizations that can't be...

I think you may be looking at it wrong. The political angle is crucially important here. Musharraf may have failed in Kargil but he won Pakistan. The Army has operated alone from the very beginning for reasons that weren't singularly tactical or strategic; instead, the goals and aspirations of...

In the end, none of the current generation aircraft can be made into low observable aircraft without the kind of investment that would be better spent producing a completely new aircraft. A single vertical stabilizer, canards and the carriage of weapons and fuel tanks on the wings would butcher...
