The land-based launchers are meant for volleys of missiles, to saturate and overwhelm IN defenses. In other words, there should be too many to completely destroy. Furthermore, I also advocate building fixed submerged cartridges to launch SLCM from underneath the water. How will they target that...

I think Imran Khan coming into power has really given expats hope. Expats coming back would be great, but I think this will require some time as Pakistan's infrastructure, sewage, power generation & transmission would need to greatly improve before reaching the levels expats are used to living...

Another approach to getting around the lack of firepower in the surface fleet, is to not rely upon them anymore. If the question is defense against IN CBG and more importantly, a naval blockade, then a defensive approach can be contained within Pakistan's territorial waters and EEZ. Why not...

Sir, part in bold made my day. I salute you, thank you for your efforts. I strongly believe this is the main way Pakistan can progress, if Pakistani expats can work with Pakistani companies and universities to help progress their level of technology. If you can convince other Pakistani expats to...

The answer to the thread question was in the post itself. Yes, it seems like a wish-list, but it is not really. The main crux of my argument is this: If it is suicidal for PN to fight IN CBG with the current inventory of vessels, then perhaps PN can actually use that to its advantage. PN should...

I support Imran Khan (not PTI, though). However, I believe government is humiliating Pakistan by its unnecessary peace overtures. I mean what is the freaking point of saying that Pakistan will have good relations with India after the elections? It's like getting punched and continuing to be...

@Rashid Mahmood I had posted this in another thread, I still stand by this. PN, needs to think out-of-the-box, to fight asymmetrically. Vessels like F-22P, OPV, Swift, and almost every other surface fleet vessel of PN are really just useless pieces of junk, scrap metal, waiting to be sunk by...

Something is terribly wrong if a country of 200+ million people exports $25 billion and a few million Pakistani expats working abroad send back remittances of $20 billion. That figure alone should show you a big gap in productivity!

indians will probably attack. I think the more important question is why are they attacking? why is afghanistan attacking? why is iran threatening to attack? issue is that previous government(s) and army itself opened the door to foreign powers to kill Pakistani citizens at will. let's compare...

Best solution is privatize it, turn it into a company and sell shares to local Pakistani investors. Letting it survive on its own in free market will hopefully get rid of the inefficiencies and improve productivity. Military should stay away from business and focus on fighting & winning wars...

I had made a thread on the need to fight IN asymmetrically, this is the only way under Pakistan's current condition. Asymmetrical War: A Necessity For PN For some reason, PN has acquired or is acquiring ships that are absolutely useless in the current theatre. When IN is in the process of...

Releasing that pilot was a big mistake. Offering peace gestures like that and telling India that "if you take one step, we will take two" was humiliating. Calling Modi three times to de-escalate the conflict is pathetic. It seems all of these steps are being interpreted as sign of weakness. My...

Let's put it this way, the more exports you have, the more weaker you are to sanctions. Just take a look at what is happening with China and tariffs placed on their exports. Their economy is collapsing. China is an export-based economy, the same model PTI is aiming to follow. Economic growth...

Thank you all for the big welcome. Please feel free to look at the posts/threads I have already made so far. I have already started.

Let's say you kick the can further down the road. Once the economy stabilizes, what next? How will you test ICBMs and SLBMs under the same threat of sanctions? If you test right now, you may suffer economic consequences. If you test later, you may suffer economic consequences? Either way, you...

What you are saying is great. Trust me, I'm glad PTI is in power. Although I strongly disagree with their hands-off approach with the corrupt judiciary and institutions. However, I stress that India will not let this issue subside. They will attack again and with BJP in power, they literally do...

Thanks for adding on. Forgot to mention this, but North Korea also has tested SLBMs along with ICBMs. When a country as dirt poor and as sanctioned as North Korea can test these weapons, I see no reason why Pakistan cannot do the same? As I mentioned, if Pakistan wants to be treated with...

Pardon me for saying this, but I believe Pakistan's nuclear posture and doctrine is questionable. Why is Pakistan so fixated on developing weapons that question its intent to use nuclear weapons, such as the NASR missile? In fact, the Indians probably feel that Pakistan's nuclear weapons threat...

I strongly believe that the top brass has made a critical mistake by avoiding the most crucial stage in becoming a proper nuclear weapons state: Developing & inducting ICBM's The argument that the ICBM will invite unnecessary attention and economic sanctions has always been flawed. Pakistan...

Pakistan has already run out of time. The whole purpose of this episode is to prevent Pakistan from economically stabilizing. When India saw Imran Khan's government had stabilized the economy and start peace talks to end the Afghan War, it decided to act now and stop Pakistan. These points I...
