Pakistan need to negotiate with US and China. I think Pakistan should look for a larger defence deal from China. China already got the message and certainly they will come up with some real good initiatives from this. What Pakistan need to do is take it as an advantage to develop more defence deals and nukes. UN can fk itself as sovereignty comes first. India started the nuke race and now they should be neutralized.

Shoo Bangladeshi. All you pedophiles need to learn in your insignificant lives is not to illegally come to India. Now shoo...

Pakistan shows concerns at Russia-India $2.9 billion defence deal​

December 27th, 2012 by Tahir Khan



Pakistan on Thursday expressed serious concern over a recent India-Russia $2.9 billion defence arms deal and said that it is totally against an arms race in the region.

The defence agreement was signed in New Delhi on Monday during Russian President Vladimir Putin’s day-long trip to India.

Under the accords, India will buy 42 Sukhoi Su-30 fighter jets and 71 Mil Mi-17 helicopters, according to the media.

Commenting on the recently signed Russia-India arms deal, the Pakistani foreign office spokesperson told the newsmen in Islamabad that anything which may initiate nuclear or conventional arms race will not augur well for the future of the region.

When asked about the granting of Most Favored Nation (MFN) status to India, spokesman Moazzam Ahmad Khan said

“We are currently undergoing internal processes which are expected to be completed as soon as possible”.

He said relations with India improved substantially in 2012 and the Foreign Ministers of both India and Pakistan also held useful dialogue in which they expressed the resolve to resolve all the outstanding disputes.


The spokesman said that Foreign Minister Hina Rabbani Khar will visit Saudi Arabia on January 1st on the invitation of Saudi Foreign Minister.


During her stay, she will hold talks with the Saudi leadership on further strengthening of bilateral relations.

The spokesman again denounced the American drone strike in the country’s tribal regions and said Pakistan considers the drone strikes in the war against terrorism as counter- productive, illegal, violation of “our sovereignty” and against the international laws.

Pakistan-U.S. ties: About Pakistan-US relations, the spokesman said there had been ups and downs in the bilateral relations in the year 2012 but now these are witnessing an upward trajectory after the resolution of issues.

“Both the countries have repeatedly stated to further strengthen their multifaceted relations. Leadership of both the countries has made it clear that long term peace and stability in Afghanistan is in our common interest. We are trying to evolve a common approach”.

On Afghanistan, Khan said Pakistan has repeatedly said that it support s any initiative that may result in an all inclusive political reconciliation, which is led and owned by Afghans themselves.

When question about involvement of foreign nationals in the recent attack on air force base in Peshawar, the spokesman said terrorism and extremism remain a paramount concern to Pakistan.

“We are putting in all possible efforts to address this menace. Terrorism is a global phenomenon and we are interacting with different friendly countries to collectively wipe out the threat posed by terrorism”.

To a question about Pakistan-Iran gas pipeline project, the spokesman said Pakistan is an energy deficient country and it is in our own interests to explore cheap means of energy. He said we attach importance to the gas pipeline project and the decision in this regard will be taken in the best national interest.

He said President Zardari’s visit to Iran is on the cards and currently both the countries are in the process of working out mutually convenient dates.

Giving an overview of 2012 in terms of relations with different countries, the spokesperson said Pakistan had good interaction with Russia this year.

“In 2012, our relations with the Islamic countries further strengthened and the holding of D-8 Summit was a grand finale of this year”.

The spokesman said Pakistan will assume the rotational presidency of the UN Security Council on the first of next month. “Our mission in the United Nations has chalked out a comprehensive program for debates on various important issues,” he added.

Their concerns are valid, anyone will get concerned with such huge arms built up. It is India's responsibility to make sure Pakistan does not feel threatened. It is in India's best interest to make sure that Pakistan feels good about India's rise, taking the neighbor along will do a lot of good.

I am glad that both nations are moving in right direction, having good relations with each other is the solution. We should regularly host their leaders in India and I do not mind inviting Kiyani and others from armed forces to keep them in good humor.

This is 2012 not 1947

Laugh all you want but in a real war missiles and nukes is what will matter, billions of dollars of matter can be turned to dust in a matter of seconds. Pakistan's strategy has always been defence (or enough offence to offset aggression - which in the threat of a nuclear strike, has been reached for a long time). What India has on paper is not what translates into the battlefield, never will India's full military might be subjected against Pakistan, whereas in any attack, the overwhelming might of the Pakistani Army will be thrown against the Indian forces; thus, India will need a much, much larger conventional advantage to maintain an invasion of Pakistan.

In this moment in time, India also has a lot more to lose than Pakistan in a war - namely, international reputation and the path to a permanent Security Council seat.

Lastly, Migs and helicopters matter little in wildfire insurgencies in and around civilian populaces. Any 'Kashmir War' will now be fought on the ground through proxies and groups, not by direct confrontation between India and Pakistan, for all intents of purposes, Migs are scrap metal in the skies in this case.

Make no mistake...one nuke and as Vajpayee said 'a whole country would be wiped out'. Nuke are just for deterrent, and I guess no country would ever use them in future. However, nukes did a good thing in the sub continent, they solved the Kashmir for good and forever

Wow we have a resident military genius over here who thinks conventional weapons wont matter in a fight but only the strategic weapons. *claps**clap*

thus, India will need a much, much larger conventional advantage to maintain an invasion of Pakistan.

Now someone please remind him that it is pakistan that is bellyaching over Indian control over Kashmir and has resorted to invasions time and again to gain control over it, albeit disastorously...

I dont know whats more sad, the Bangladeshi trying to swear in Hindi/Urdu (he should stick to his own language as it is clearly not working out for him), or Pakistan thinking they are still in some kind of arms race with India. Anyways, carry on, great entertainment

...+1....lolzzz...even I a Tamilian would can swear better in Hindi...

 

[GOVERNER]

Nothing to worry about.
Its just a case of " my wand is bigger than your wand"

Anyway its not the size of the dog in a fight that matters but rather the size of fight in a dog.
Pakistan has proved time again in previous wars being outnumbered 5:1 or by a larger ratio.
And ofcourse Pakistan has a lot OF "PARAMANU" bombs as well.
