enough with the f-16 fetish The world is moving onto 5th gen fighters and PAF is still obsessed with f-16. Instead of f-16 pakistan should join the Turkish 5th gen fighter program or the chinese fc-31 hell even start looking into the f-35a. The price for f-35 is suppose to come down and the...

Afghanistan alone is not a threat thanks to the rugged border which provides excellent defence against an invading force, but if it forms a military alliance with india.This would provide india with strategic depth. Which should be unacceptable to pakistan.

We can barely integrate balochistan and as you can see how capital poor balochistan is, without punjab's food surpluses balochistan would have starved. Even the gas reserves are not enough and its resource richness is also often exaggerated. Balochistan at least is not landlocked

But strategically it is bad to have enemies on both sides of the border. ISI needs to increase its role in india and in afghanistan.There are multiple insurgencies in the afghanistan and in india which need a boost to create trouble for them. Pakistan has the ttp and BLA insurgencies which can...

Although what you said might be true. No one in their right mind would want to govern the lands that is afghanistan. It is capital poor to the extreme and there is no way of capital generation. It has the most divisive geography and can't be integrated into pakistan. Pakistan has its own river...

"Some" really some part. Dude recently a lower caste person had to dig a will himself so that people of his cast could drink water. This system is very prevalent in india and in pakistan. It used to happen in the U.S as well until the late 60s.

Yes lobbying is the only way to get anything done in the american congress. Israel gets so much out of the U.S because it has the most powerful caucus in the U.S. India is doing the same to promote its interests. During musharraf time pakistan had a pretty intensive lobbying and that is why...

If true it would be similar to how Pakistan helped open up china to the U.S

Iran has 3 Kilo submarines without the air independent propulsion and I am not trying to be arrogant it is a mere observation. Iran was a credible threat in terms of it control on the strait of hormuz but it is no longer the case.

You have got to be kidding me! Are you an iranian? 30 old north korean or midget submarines doesn't really mean anything. The quality and quantity of their ships which are battle worthy is abysmal. The iranian military is very well designed to keep the non-persian ethnicities in line in term...

Most of this 12 billion should go to the navy and the air force. There is no need for an new type of expensive tank. Air and naval power wins wars and tanks are going to be sitting duck in future warfare. Instead of keeping a bloated army. PA should move towards more specialized warfare with...

Been there. Beautiful place but felt more like a police state rather than a part of india. India still has very poor infrastructure in the north states like UP, Rajasthan, Bihar, etc southern india seems to be doing a lot better.

Lets not forget the role of KGB and sanctuaries and training provided to the mukti fauj in india. The support of U.S and others was largely superficial and india had a complete advantage in every aspect of war in the east. The PA knew that they were doomed especially when the indian army...

In what world is iranian navy better than pakistan navy. Sure they have a lot more speed boats but PN is 2 times larger and regularly trains with other navies.

It would be helpful to include the dimensions of JF-17. Also I doubt that this is raad missile's final design as it is continuously tested and will most certainly evolve just like the JF-17 will. As of now it is a poorly designed missile and its stealth characteristics are questionable but...

Space programs are not cheap and no country with the population and economy the size of pakistan has a space program. Besides Pakistan does not have very good launch sites like the U.S, china or india. India might have the best geographic location in tamil nadu to launch rockets into space. It...

I don't see any problem with the congress not subsidizing the 8 F-16s. If pakistan wants to buy them, then it should pay for them, just like it pays for equipment from china or any other country. The better option would be to invest those funds into the domestic development of fighter jets or...

The problem is also with the Northern alliance Panjshiri dominated afghan government. They have historically favored indians while pakistan supported the pashtun dominated taliban. The largest portion of the refugees are pashtuns and make up 40%(~15 million) afghanistan's population they...

No one will be able to understand what you mean by this. Which Pakistani border guard drone? and how is it relevant? also a culture of aircraft carriers has to be developed within the navy which takes a long time and also a large enough economy is required to fund and maintain the carrier...

Americans still have to deliver the 15 AH-1 Vipers and it would be a bad idea to completely cut our military ties with americans. They still have the best technology and will remain a superpower for the foreseeable future
