    Japan's stealth jet prototype 'to fly this year'

    I really don't think the F-35 is a good choice for anybody. What's got the Saudis questioning the choice? Why are the Aussies anxious? Because they all agreed to buy F-35s, a fighter plane now plagued with technical difficulty, namely engine and thrust control issues. The F-22 is proven; the...

    Possible steps to counter the rising threat from IAF ?

    Plus Pakistan already has a very good Air Force with custom versions of modern fighter aircraft it can produce (relatively) cheaply, so really just back that up with proven but cheap aircraft (Mirages, MiG-21s, old Harriers, etc.) to add fluff planes so that the AF is never undermanned for a war...

Though the Americans can fire a wider variety of rounds both have good auto loaders and Russian tanks have some pretty good reactive armor...

    Satellite Images Depict Russian Military Build up on Ukrainian Border

    I agree. Although East Ukraine might secede, I feel that further Russian involvement in the area will be limited. They have the naval base protected, and that's all they want. How hypocritical of the West to intrude! What is their justification for the Guantanamo naval base?!? I'm certain that...
