National Interest. Simple two word answer as to why China refused to step in when the Kargil crisis erupted. It did not want to be drawn in to a quicksand situation over a misadventure as it would've jeopardized its long term goals in the Asian Pacific as well as the subcontinent...

Next thing you know. It was ISI which used rain to wash away Mumbai last year and similar monsoon rains this year! Better yet, its ISI's sinister idea that hoards of monkeys invade Indian cities to disrupt life and businesses! Oh boy... I could go on all day long with this!

Yes, it is. You either call the Americans or the Chinese, varying from situation to situation and the degree of leverage they can provide to the Pakistani cause as Pakistan simply isn't strong enough in the international arena to pick one side and expect everyone else to jump the bandwagon...

Happy Independance Day to all! Enjoy the day!

They always do because navies basing their strategies and doctrines on AC also have the resources to buy support vessels for the AC. PN wont get support vessels free if it wants to buy an AC and that also THREE as ONE is as bad as having none in the first place. Its not about 'avoiding' US...

Yes yes, everyone is just dying to spill some Pakistani blood right? Give me a break! Too much military rule has infected too many minds with revisionist thoughts I see. If the Israelis are 'sooo interested' in learning about our army's combat capabilities, they could just simply ask the Indians...

Let me try and explain in my capacity to do so. In other scenarios that you have mentioned, airpower was mostly successful because of targets being distinct, mostly amassed armour and identifiable positions of the opposing force (Serba, GulfWar) as well as hideouts (Afghanistan). In this case...

No Pakistani hand in India terrorism: Boucher NEW DELHI: US Assistant Secretary of State for South and Central Asian Affairs Richard Boucher has categorically ruled out Pakistani involvement in supporting terrorist acts in India. “It is the considered opinion of Washington that based...

One cynical anonymous high-ranking official according to CNN has even said, who knows two years down the line we'd be asked to travel naked. Gave me a good little laugh in the middle of the night!

The most recent thing I read about Iraq is that behind the scenes senior officials in Iraq and US are already talking about partitioning Iraq, though the plan obviously has its fair share of critics.

Which so far hasn't been the case. India is sitting on its laurels because it has never been in the mood to truly resolve core disputes. All it wants to do is, keep having more CBMs and you just need one incident like the recent Mumbai bombings to bring India's meter back to zero.

Pakistan has once again proved beyond doubt that it remains committed to its pivotal role in the War on Terror by helping diffuse this terror threat which according to British Agencies would have been a massive attack leading to unprecedented loss of live and destruction. Keep it up fellaz...

The very first thing that they should be considering now is to look for a next generation sub which would be able to launch the naval version of the Babur cruise missile. That has to be the top priority in any hunt for a new sub to spearhead PN's sub fleet.

Apparently its not only Raptor who has started threads with just copy pasting articles and then not elaborating his views on the subject matter. He's already on the thin red line anyways, as I have mentioned before.

Rightly put forth Mr Aquil. It was more of an advice. Me being the target of gang up persecution? Maybe so, let's just say I've been there, done that before. Nothing new for me. Cheers mate!

Yes, although the IN has 'some' Blue Water Navy capabilities, it is still years away from being a 'true' Blue Water Navy. Blue Water status does not mean that you just have a couple of ships capable of sailing all the way from Indonesia to Africa. Sending two ships here, three ships there...

Yes, you were asked to 'elaborate' which you did after being cautioned. Good to see improvements coming along. Cheers

I'm surprised to how people here are trying to justify US soldiers' acts by comparing them to what the Iraqis went through under Saddam, saying, 'so what? Saddam did much worse!' Do two wrongs make a right? Then someone talked about 'hope' being the main thing about the US invasion. Really...

Bull, need I remind you that merely mocking the article doesn't do justice to the person who wrote it and to the discussion that this thread is meant to promote. If you think the article is 'laughable' and the author 'doesn't know what he is talking about', please EXPLAIN WHY and provide...

This is the third Agosta 90-B submarine (PNS Hamza), the first two (PNS Khalid and PNS Saad), already being in service with the PN. It depends on the PN's requirements and its export opportunities whether more 90-Bs will eventually be manufactured. However, some circles have suggested that...
