I look forward to the day when the engine for JF-17 will be completely made in Pakistan. There are plenty of Aeronautical engineers and Metallurgical engineers in Pakistan. If we start the work we will get somewhere in the end.
It is one thing if a politician makes a statement. These should be taken with skepticism. If a senior civil servant from the ministry of finance with a good reputation makes any statement regarding our economy then that may carry more weight.
Otherwise work on CPEC is the best thing happening to...
JF-17 are slowly replacing older aircraft. F-7 had their day and the time is coming when they have to go. During Kargil war our air force was in a highly defensive posture and it is not something to be proud of. F-7 should have taken down at least a dozen indian planes. Now their time is almost...
Ormara is the future of Naval defence. While Karachi and Gwadar will mostly carry out commercial work, Ormara is purely for defence purposes. We should try to make it the best naval base in the world.
Pakistan taking interest in Russian defence equipment is a good thing. At least it is going to be cheaper than American and European defence equipment. Will it remain table talk or will it amount to some serious deal remains to be seen. Pakistan has a limited budget so we should choose wisely.
Americans do this kind of analysis all the time. It will amount to nothing. It is not in America's interest to raise trivial issues like this. We don't tell the americans which weapons they can have and which they cannot. So they have no business telling us which weapons we can have and which we...
Is this some kind of a joke ?
On a serious note, I have been to Bahria town in Rawalpindi / Islamabad and I must say it is quite a good place. At least better than CDA. Travelling from PWD to Bahria town and you can tell the difference.
Right now with a weak air force Iran will try to avoid an air war at all costs.Just like Russia avoided an air war with Turkey despite the fact that Turkey shot down a Russian Su 24 plane.If Russia had responded in kind then it could have escalated to a world war with NATO.
Although a covert...
I have traveled on KKH many times. I have seen plenty of landslides and rock falls. Pakistan railways will have to build a track which is safe from landslides and rock falls. I wish PR good luck in such a challenging task.
It looks like this as an analysis of Pakistan Air force from an Indian point of view. Some one should do an analysis of Indian Air Force from Pakistani perspective to get a balanced picture.
This is an interesting article. It states that brine is raw material for lithium. In Pakistan Khewra salt mine is one of the biggest in the world and we have plenty of salt water. We should check for the presence of lithium in our salt waters. We could become a big player in this field.
According to newspapers right now four squadrons of JF-17 are operational. They are not all the same. Pakistan started with block 1 and now block 2 is in production. After that block 3 and so on. Each block will add something new which is a good thing. Our survival depends on continuous...
Thank you for your reply. I have been to Mussa Ka Musallah twice and Ansoo lake once, But thanks for the nice suggestion.
May I suggest Naltar lake, It is still remote and clean because very few people have been there. I hope they never build a road to the big lake. A jeep road ends at the...
We should develop a culture to keep our country clean. It is easier said than done. Even today there are plenty of places which are pristine clean because common people can not reach them. While a lot of people have seen Lake Saif ul Maluk only very few people have seen Saral lake because it is...
It is a shame for our country that our PM has to go to London for medical exam. According to my limited knowledge Shafa International hospital in Islamabad and Aga Khan hospital in Karachi are the best in Pakistan. Besides CMH all over the country are also very good. Our PM can afford a medical...
