It is useless for China to obtain/build and deploy an aircraft carrier at this point in time. Her navy is still not up to the task to even stand up properly against the Indian Navy, let alone the US Navy. First it has to make sure it acquires enough modern warships and submarines to challenge...

As far as I know, that was the reason for Dassault pulling out of the contenders' race and now the Mirage 2000-5 production liine has been shut down. France has, infact, now put up Rafael for competition of 126 aircraft that IAF requires. But it is quite safe to say that Rafael would lose...

Its difficult to see even that happening since you cannot build a pipeline through a province which is ruled by medieval sardars who are hell-bent on destroying everything that they see is foreign. India has some serious security concerns about the pipeline going through Balochistan and so...

Babur's extended range is being worked up on as well as work on its integration with PN's surface and sub-surface fleet has currently gathered pace.

Yes my bad at that. I confused this report with a report a few months back. That time, the UAV came right across the international border and wasn't picked up until it was too late as it had already carried its reconnaisance mission. Anyhow, that does not change the basics of the arguement...

Yes this is not because we do not have the capability to shoot the intruder down (also arguable) but it is because we simply did not detect the intruder aircraft sooner as our radar systems and networks are becoming obselete each passing day and their ranges are very limited. Indian...

The pictures in the original link are just Raptors with Russian red stars on them. Nothing else. Yes, India and Russia are jointly working on a 5th generation fighter aircraft which is termed the PAK-FA. Haven't heard of this T-50 anywhere else up till now. May well be a hoax owing to some...

These are still unconfirmed reports.

There's a difference between having the capability to manufacture missile boats, auxillaries, midget subs and the capability to manufacture state-of-the-art 'frigates','destroyers' and 'modern subs'. PN currently cannot even stand up to the IN more than a week I...

Well lets see now: PAF: Frontline fighter jets, possibly Rafael, Gripen or J-10 PN: More surface combatants urgently required; Chinese F-22Ps coming but that is not enough. In addition, more submarines now required after Indian-French deal on Scorpenes which the Agostas cannot beat. PA: So...

To be patriotic is quite an OK thing but to be objective is quite another. When you talk about their missions, it is equally befitting that you talk about their failures as well in addition to the successes. In 1965, they were para-dropped on to Indian airfields to carry out sabotage and other...

They look rough and tough; but their performance has not been that outstanding as you would expect from an 'Elite' unit. Ofcourse they've had successes (they are expected to carry out the more dangerous missions which is why they are 'elite') but it is the failures that...

It is interesting to note here that the Chinese have issued a commemorative postage stamp celebrating the 55th (I believe) anniversary of bilateral relationship between the two countries. This is a first for the Chinese state.

Doesn't matter how many 'active' troops or 'reserve' troops you have. The army has to be trained, professional in its dealings and should concentrate on its role. Unfortunately, over the number of years, the Pakistan Army has become more of a policing force rather than an...

At this point in time, given the current situation that the PAF is in; air-to-air refueling capability is certainly NOT a priority since there are more important things to worry about. 1. Frontline fighter aircrafts: Which the PAF desperately needs in order to bridge the gap with IAF's...
