I'm sure you can see things for yourself and do NOT need spoon-feeding. Musharraf has been there for 7 yrs now. Your arguements about 'what if' this happens or that happens are useless because the geo-political world does not function on 'ifs', 'buts', 'hopes', etc as policies are not based on...

If you are talking about combat vehicles such as Tanks, IFVs and/or APCs and their respective 'reactive armours' then that is a task performed by Heavy Industries Taxilla. KRL has hardly anything to do with that as KRL isn't the only organization involved in defence equipment design and...

This is nothing but usual mud-slinging by a journalist who couldn't find any interesting topic to write on. Everyone knows that Pakistan's nuclear assets are secure. Pakistan has had nukes since 1990 if not earlier. If since then (and it has been 16 yrs) Mullahs and/or radicals couldn't get...

When all of you mature up, let me know. Then only will this thread be opened for further discussion.

As far as I understand, the US fielded downgraded F-15s in Cope India 2004.

As much as it pains me to say this, I have to because you will, otherwise not understand what impression I am getting from your posts. Clearly from all that you've written so far it makes me believe I'm arguing about politics with a ten year old. You live in a democratic society, yet...

Janes Defence just reported that the Russians are still NOT prepared to let Pakistan have RD-93 on its Jf-17s. So much for 'positive Russian signals'.

The Balochis aren't complaining, the 'sardars' with their firebrand bunch of followers are! That is because they know, they are bound to lose control that they have right now over the Baloch masses. They are feudal lords and a feudal society only works if there is no dilution of...

My take on US occupation of Iraq can be summarized in ONE word: QUICKSAND!! The you try to get out of it, the deeper you get sucked in to it. But seeing as the US wanted to step in to this quicksand pond itself; I do not harbour any sympathies for their false cause. Although I do...

Being the thread opener; we would want you to take the lead this debate to set a precedent for others to see what exactly do you have in mind.

Your own government doesn't even hold that view. Siachen would be best left on its own, that is why talks are going on to de-militarize it. Not the forget the indirect US pressure which is directed towards both the countries to leave Siachen alone. Current confrontation is hindering...

Balochis would definitely not be ignored especially after Musharraf just recently instructed the Gwadar authorities to employ more Baloch (locals) even if they don't meet certain criterias for those jobs. This means that locals are being given preference. And as for the arguement of...

China wants to bask in the warm waters of the Arabian Sea and it could import goods using Gwadar and only pay some transit fee to Pakistan. The goods imported there would get to China's Xinjiang province for example faster, IMHO. China's interests force it to undertake more and more...

Yes, one thing you cannot doubt is Israel's ability to make sophisticated weaponry.

Yes I should have been more precise. I meant 'militant strongeholds', like a particular area that is known to be of value/use to the militants can be effectively taken out without risking birds or sending in infantry. Ofcourse when it gets more complicated as urban warfare usually does...

The thing to understand here is that while shoulder-launched SAMs are more mobile, they can only be used against low-fying AC. Proper, stationed SAM sites integrated with an effective radar network are needed if you want to bring that bird down from 30000-50000 ceiling!

Very nice pictures indeed! Lets hope something comes about for Siachen atleast if not Kashmir. Except for ego, its not worth anything else. Demilitarization is the best option.

Yes they are not the F-16s PAF already operates (Block 10/15) but are much better ones; Block 50 which the USAF currently operates. The 20 'old' ones that the article talks about would be MLU-ed ones (similar to Block 50) while the 50 'newer' ones would be Block 52 C/D F-16s to...

I'm sure if you study the map you'll understand that to get to Gwadar, you need to cross Karachi first. PN doesn't need to 'stretch' itself. Light security at Gwadar would do while PN puts up its best efforts to save Karachi or make a stand somewhere between Karachi and Gwadar.

Now there's the difference between joint 'exercises' and 'operations'. Then when you refer to Iraq and Afghanistan; there soveriegnty is questionable since their invasions so it doesn't matter which force from what country operates there as they are in a state of...
