No problem. The side that is correct in the arguement always has my backing.

Well NPT is the reason why so many countries gave up their nuclear ambitions. If you did not know that already, please do some research before posting on in here. It obviously hasn't been a hundred percent successful and effective but what the US has done is just foolish in trying to secure...

Mind you, please differentiate between Taliban and Al-Qaeda elements. Al-Qaeda elements are those who were mostly foreigners and have been hunted to extinction but pro-Taliban include the Pakhtoons of the border areas Afghanis and Pakistanis that co-mingle with the civilian population so easily...

Nopes. Never even close to perfect. How can you expect warlord goons to run a government when all they previously knew was how to kill, kill and kill? Karzai is just a puppet, he doesn't do anything because his influence and control does not even extend beyond Kabul. And the easy...

I'm sure you are aware what mud-slinging means. It is something that you and Prashant were engaged in; accusing each other's country and media for things going wrong in your native countries. There will always be externalities of such scenarios but accusing fellow country-men of not...

Yes, Khan is correct. H-2 and H-4 are both AGMs (they glide towards their target and are somewhat BVR - although I'm not sure if they're 'true' BVR). And yes there are indications that they're based on the S. African Raptors.

Cannot agree because according to my sources, there was never a serious Israeli plan to attack Pakistan's nuclear facilities. Obviously they considered it but they didn't go beyond that. I hope people can understand the difference between 'considering a plan of action' and...

Thanks for contributing this very informative article although a bit sketchy (jumping from explaining one thing to another real quick). I'm sure people would take lessons from it back to wherever they discuss the PAF as this is an entirely independant analysis of a force with a will to do...

BANG on target Neo. If NPT does not mean anything to the US when it comes to its national agenda and safeguarding of its national interests, then it has no right to direct criticism at, lets say, nuclear cooperation between China and Pakistan who are also doing what they think is right for their...

Everyone, please refrain from further mud-slinging and get back to the topic at hand. "Balochistan's troubles" in simple wording. Thnx.

And once again the extremists and their Mullah sympathisers have brought great shame to Pakistan. May God give them guidance to follow the true Islam and become civilized humans instead of living the lives of barbarians. Note: It is still too early to speculate the involvement of a foreign...

New Air Chief's ideas are important but they don't go as far as changing the entire strategy behind acquiring the 4th generation AC or which one because it is not just one person's job. It is discussed with all high-level PAF officials and I believe, then a cohesive strategy (or plan...

The conspiracy theory that Israel planned to attack Pakistan's nuclear facilities with Indian support are unconfirmed rumours so far. There has been no evidence to support these claims. Besides Israel has its hands full of enemies that are in closer proximity to it for it to start worrying...

There's no such conspiracy theory so it would be wise not to lend air to sparks. Here's a corrupt to the bone exiled ruler of a country who keeps popping up on all these 'foreign' channels blabbering his mouth away at anything to show himself in good light. It is correct that...

Yes that is true. Musharraf's role model is Ataturk but no matter how much his policies worked in Turkey, they cannot really be applied to Pakistan as its a whole different ball game here under distinct political circumstances. I personally like Ataturk for his revolutionary thinking. One...

Iran is in negotiations for a deal with Russia. Early reports suggest that some headway has been made and a basic understanding that uranium would be enriched in Russia is in place but no final solution has been inked yet. The world is full of double standards, on one hand Uncle Sam is...

Yes, I'm a hundred percent positive about this. If J-10 is procured, ToT would be asked for and I believe it will be given as the Chinese have already helped PAC enable itself to handle Jf-17 production (with added tech purchases from Western countries). Let's hope we can just find...

Well obviously there's more to it than just bombing raids. But that part is left for all of us by the people in charge of media relations to use our imagination and speculate what else it could have involved.

There is no question about how effective this will be. This will give the PAF the much needed qualitative advantage over well dug-in miscreants. Lets see how deep they can dig themselves in, whether in mainland Balochistan or the hostile terrain of North Waziristan.

The biggest advantage of them all, amazing 'stealth'. On other counts as well, PN should have gone for them. Saudi Arabia has them in service, we have Agostas for ourselves; we should've strengthened our relationship with France in this regard by going for the Lafayettes.
