Yes you are correct but the scenarios you are describing are not peace-time scenarios. Refuellers would be most handy in times of tension and war where every minute is important. The present day situation between Pakistan and India suggests that Pakistan should take advantage of this and...

Amazing use of some colorful language. Goes to show your attitude towards tougher debate and discussion. I'm a Pakistani and I dont need to prove it to anyone. Just because I'm not blind with patriotism and actually take time to analyse each issue dispassionately through objectivity...

Yes IMHO, the KC-135 would be a good choice but like I said, other issues need priority at the moment and then refuelling could be looked at certainly.

PLAAN crushing IN in a matter of weeks? That is one of the most absurd things I have come across. Certainly you are not claiming to be smarter than the defence analysts sitting inside think tanks across the world conducting simulations and extensice studies on the nature of the two navies and...

Its useless to argue on the HQ-2J vs Sukhoi issue in the face of your blind patriotism. 'Eyeing' a system and sitting down with a purchase agreement on hand with a pen in hand to sign it are two totally different things. And then there is the delivery period and integration in to the...

You want F-16s and Thunder to be frontline jets of PAF? Using your logic, the Su-30s would take out all our frontline jets before our 'frontline' jets even get a chance to have a lock-on on the Sukhois. Either you don't know the capabilities of IAF's Sukhois or you're just a...

In this age, we should be promoting peace and not a clash of civilizations which wouldn't benefit anyone.

Pakistan does not have any proper long range SAMs. Su-30s, as far as I know have a higher max. ceiling than the HQ-2 missiles which means they can evade the missiles with little difficulty. FT-2000 was initially an anti-radiation missile which was designed to target AWACS with passive radar...

PAF certainly has to concentrate on cutting back on the attrition rate of its aircraft due to which it loses around 3 (avg.) aircraft a year which is quite high for a professional force such as itself. On one hand, no aircraft have been acquired as yet and on the other they keep losing...

Coming back to the topic, I think Musharraf is certainly a very capaple leader who has turned Pakistan towards a better future and it would be encouraging to see him stay in power for longer but he should also remember that he must not repeat Zia's mistakes. Musharraf is definitely the...
