Well, to the best of my knowledge; the question of which being 'easier' is the last one on anyone's mind related to the SLV program in any country. Although, conventional chain of thought and past experience has shown that most countries who have the ballistic missile technology with...

I'm not sure if the author of the article knows much about economics but according to how much I know about it, his article is close to being trash. All due respect, but I don't even want to comment on this; this is just ridiculous. There's a little more to Purchasing Power Parity...

I think you've misunderstood what my post meant. It clearly says that the 'mullahs' are a cancer to our society NOT the religion. I'm sure that it is clearly understood this time round. Another misconception that I would like my fellow Pakistanis to understand is that Pakistan...

Just a different set and choice of words for basically the same thing. It needs to be avoided which is certainly not being helped by carricatures of P.B.U.H. and the voilent reaction to them. Both sides are at fault.

Basic effort would be to get ToT for everything that is purchased just like what India is doing in most of its defense purchases. No ToT, no purchase from that vendor. Just like we obtained ToT for Agosta 90Bs and would be getting for F-22P frigates; we should be able to do what with almost...

This is NO joke. An asteroid just 1Km across can destroy the entire Earth. The US and Russia are in to R & D which is working towards such a future scenario to try and safe us all from the inevitable. Just nuking an asteroid doesn't solve anyone's problems because the problem with that...

Yes, President Bush has already started stepping in, once you notice how he's going around the NPT to offer India help in civilian nuclear tech even though India is NOT a signatory to the agreement. Its time for Pakistan to get extensive help from China to counter this. As far as the IN and...

Damaging attack isn't really the issue here. The issue here is weak defenses and radar network coverage which is just plain bad. Indian aircraft come and go at their will, voilate our airspace, take pictures of sensitive sites, gather intel and easily fly back to give Indian planners a...

I, however, remain attached to the chain of thought that there is hardly any need of any refuellers at this point in time. F-16s and Jf-17s would really start to be inducted in good numbers around 2008 at the earliest. Getting used to Jf-17s and getting logistics as well as infrastructure up...

None of the three Pakistani forces can 'take on' India and that has never been there objective either. They are designed and structured for 'minimum deterrence' which implies that they take a defensive posture. Defend to the last man and make the aggressor pay so dearly in...

I have no clue as to which stage does debate stand in this thread. A couple of messages are posted more than once and no clear direction seems to be in place. Anyways, I tihnk the Indian Navy is doing great with its modernization plans and is on the right course of its ambitions to become a...

No point in dragging religion in this. Pakistan has been poisoned by bringing religion in to politics already. Now one institution is somewhat better off and you want to derail that as well. Might as well just go and hand over Pakistan's secession papers to India right? The Mullahs were no...

Gaining advantage over the IAF has never been PAF's main objective or atleast that's what the official line has been. Its all about 'minimum deterrance' which means that you have such a force that the enemy thinks twice and thinks hard before attacking because he knows you have...

Shaheen-II is still not enough to act as a SLV. The rumour that Pakistan is working on a 3000+Km missile could very well, if true, be enough to be used as a SLV. Yes Pakistan currently shares data from Chinese satellites to map terrain which would probably be used by the Babur cruise missile as...

At the end of the day, I would expect the IAF to go for the Mig-29s with thrust-vectoriing as they already have the logistics in place and their pilots are experienced on the type of aircraft and should have no difficulty adapting to the newer version. Mig-29 is a very capable aircraft indeed...

Pakistan Army already has paratroopers and snipers. Paratroopers are mostly confined to the SSG, particularly the Musa Company. Now there are two sets of snipers; one type attached to the SSG and the other with the regular army. Since SSG requires more precision and accuracy and failure is NOT...

Yes Shaheen-II, atleast, is a two-stage missile using a solid-propellant. There have been news that another missile with 3000+ Km is in R & D at the moment so I guess we'll just have to wait and see what happens given the secretive nature in which Pakistan carries out its military R & D.

Yes and I'm sure you feel proud by copy, pasting from a heavily Indian biased website? Talking about Balochistan getting independance and Sindh following and what not and how they are distinct from the rest of Pakistan is just UTTER NONSENSE. How about we take on India on that matter...

Top secret military research is done in countries where this is least chance of leakage of tech information and source codes and the vulnerability to sensitive information is the least. Pakistan and India would probably figure at the bottom of such a list. There is no proper respect for...

In simple terms, the impact of IAF purchases on PAF is that fighter jets and airdefence systems need to be modernized at an alarming rate. F-16s should be acquired as soon as possible. It is understandable that it was put on hold due to the earthquake but now its time to put it behind us and...
