I'm reminded of this joke: PURE SOCIALISM: You have two cows. The government takes them and puts them in a barn with everyone else's cows. You have to take care of all the cows. The government gives you as much milk as you need. BUREAUCRATIC SOCIALISM: You have two cows. The government...

I just don't believe that democracy is such a high ideal that one should strive to achieve. It is deeply flawed. That point is logically made in Post #3(http://www.defence.pk/forums/current-events-social-issues/88256-why-pakistanis-afraid-democracy.html#post1404202), the fatal flaws in democracy...

Democracy is a logically flawed system. Even the US, which tries to impose democracy on everyone, was a republic, and it's founding fathers detested democracy, labelling it "mob rule". The reason democracy is flawed, is that in any society, the majority is not neccessarily right. In the world's...

They are mostly concerned with protecting US forward bases. Makes sense, I wouldn't be surprised if US forces operated these SAMs for them, the Saudis can't do alot, they can go to the US and spend a few billion on stuff tho. We're literally still dealing with the crap these people left for us...

Yeah right.. Bangladesh has to choose between forming a "strategic alliance" with india and just "deal with" an annoyed China, or at the very least, maintain a strict balance and remain impartial? There is a third alternative, where Bangladesh chooses to side with China, due to it's deep defence...

These would likely be the last F-16s that Turkey retires from their AF, probably decades from now.

"Tribal animals"... they are the very people who won Pakistan it's very first war, when the British general incharge of the army refused to attack. They are the ones who stood by Pakistan, despite Pakistan reneging on agreements and guarantees given by Quaid-e-Azam. We need a deeper...

In a Pakistan-specific context - I think it would be very likely that we would see one, or many, of these carriers visit Pakistani seas. Geo-political ramifications aside, it would be a fairly awesome thing to see a Chinese carrier berth off the coast of Gwadar for a friendly visit or supplies...

Ofcourse, you are entitled to your opinion. But you might feel differently after you do some more research on this issue. There were a number of incidences and events that give alot of credibility to the claim that the USSR would have rolled into Pakistan. Even Khrushchev made such threats...

I don't buy into this whole "Zia did everything, we are blameless" line peddled by successive governments, up to and including our massively incompetent PPP govt. The Soviets had a history in the region, they'd been overruning every "-stan" to their south, starting from Dagestan right up to...

Try installing Opera Mini, or Opera Mobile web browsers. Both are installable on the E90. You can go to m.opera.com from your S60/webkit browser and install either of these web browsers from there. Opera Mini compresses data, which makes the browser very fast, and can cost *much* less if you...

@hasnain0099 The US fielded F-22s in that exercise. There was alot of outcry in the Indian media when this video of a USAF officer surfaced, where the bloke candidly talked about the performance of Indian SU-30s and MiG-21s. He talked about how the F-22 wouldn't detect the MiG because the MiG...

True.. My point was that non-stealth aircraft with modern gen avionics still have a place.

Mongolia is a very ruralistic country, apparently they've got only one major paved highway or something. If India's sincere, help uplift the lives of average Mongolians, build things that create employment opportunities and things like that. China wouldn't really be worried at all that India...

Oh and @Storm Force, I do agree with you - the wargames the US has had, clearly show a very very lopsided win-loose ratio. The only time an F-16 scored a win was when it'd get blown to pieces right after firing off at the -22. My point was, that the benefit of stealth can be had with 4.5th gen...

Making the JFT a stealth aircraft would require a complete re-design, it would be easier to start off from scratch. I think that Pakistan is looking to get latest-gen jamming technology, the Indians installed Israeli jammers on their Vietnam era(40 year old) MiG-21s, and even the F-22 couldn't...

Looking at the way Russia inducted MiG-29s and SU-27s, there were considerable problems, it would be a long long story full of tales of downgrading radar requirements etc(later on, the MiG-31 with it's ~50 ton weight would carry a radar with the sort of specs the soviets wanted on the SU)...

Hey thanks for the info! So, does one first go to a gun shop and make a purchase, or go to the post office and go through that process? I'd like to own a firearm, it's a part of our religion, and and important deterant to protect one's family, but I've never done this before and have no clue...

Hi I was reading your thread on your weapons. I wanted to know - what sort of procedure do you need to go through, to get legit weaponry? I heard you have to go through the post office or something, to process licences. Thanks!

@Pakistani Nationalist What sort of procedure do you need to go through, to get legit weaponry? I heard you have to go through the post office or something, to process licences.
