I think this is slightly old news. Recently, it was announced that we were aiming to get Mi-35s. The US blames it's failure in Afghanistan on problems stemming from "the border region between Afghanistan and Pakistan", seems like everyone from their govt talks about this on tv everytime the AF...

Over here many people wouldn't be intimately aware of Turkish politics. It would be interesting to hear what Turkish brothers say about their present govt and these claims.

PAF just bought the SAR capable V9 for their 18 F-16s, unless I'm mistaken. However, it is likely to still be an option for the vast majority of our F-16 fleet(the PAF seems to be aiming for a 100+ F-16 fleet, 6 squadrons would be 108 aircraft - consisting of something like 70+ OCU upgrades and...

The article does sum it all up rather well, useful to have alot of detail in one place. For a broader perspective, we should look at the F-104 saga and how the US of A blocked spares for that and everything right when the enemy was crossing the international border and rushing towards Lahore and...

@paladin, what's trashy about this? Trashy to think that Pakistan would say no to the wonderful and generous dozes of drone attacks?

India is one country that has a history of meddling with all of it's neighbors. Pathan tribesmen crossed into Kashmir in response to India sending it's army into Kashmir in 1948 so get your facts right - it wasn't like "what did you expect India to do" like India was just sitting on it's arse...

What a tragedy. We are seeing the viciousness of these vultures(darindoon), what a wonderfully tehzeeb-yaafta(cultured/civilized) nation, the world's biggest democracy. But then again, this is the senseless massacring and slaughtering that democracies historically tend to do. And they always...

The JFT has not even completed it's weapons integration yet, we people are too anxious to see it flying in the airforces of our friends, and it is understandable. But realistically, even China may go for the JFT(they originally agreed to buy 150 when the project began) only when the JFT is...

When some Palestinians damage Israeli property there is alot of condemnation in the international community. How hypocriticial are they, and how naive are we for expecting fairness from them. Where's the condemnation now?

@Graphican I think you'd like this documentary: The War On Democracy by John Pilger It's called The War on Democracy, by John Pilger. I agree with what you're saying - some people love Mush because the current govt's much worse. But that's like loving snakebites but hating the venom they leave...

China could have had the sort of economic bubble Pakistan had, back in the 80's. But the problem with bubbles is that they burst. China developed it's own economy and production capacity, and *then* experienced a consumption boom in which they manufactured the goods their economy consumed...

Hmm... I wonder which countries he's referring to, must be Guatemala or New Zealand or something - those damn kiwis.

Listening to this person's tale, I'm reminded of an incident from Marmaduke Pickthall's life, when he first wanted to become a Muslim and visited a wise Maulana of the Great Mosque of Damascus. It seems to be of some relevance, so I'll quote it here. For those who do not know, Pickthall...

We didn't have any of these things at *all* before the US Afghan war. Hopefully, things would be better once the US leaves next year. Things like suicide blasts were completely unheard of in Pakistani society before 2001. Now this happens like twice a week.

The US has already announced they'll begin evacuating troops by mid 2011. The Russian help would appear to involve making that withdrawl more efficient, minimize losses, stuff like that. 3-0 against three major superpowers within the span of a hundred years, not bad for the Afghans. They did...

This is Turkey's internal matter - we should refrain from supporting or condemning their government/s or their history. Pakistan has a historic and cultural link with Turkey and I think we should respect that. In Pakistan's history, whenever it has needed allies Turkey has always been at it's...

This jet may compete with the JFT for induction in the PLAAF. There was some talk on one of the Chinese defence blogs about how if the JFT does get inducted, it might be to replace the Q-5(we also use it and call it the A-5) with the 2-seat version of the JFT, for bombing and close air support...

WikiTravel's always a very wonderful source: Lahore travel guide - Wikitravel Coming to Lahore during the mid 2000's presented such a nice picture, everything seemed to be progressing nicely, the economy was booming, even the defence sector was in a much better shape. With the situation like it...

No France did not cancel the avionics deal. That was just the indian media quoting their infamous "unnamed sources" like always. The PAF head confirmed that he had verified with the French sources after the media report, that the deal wasn't off. Use the search function to find this topic, as...
