The better question is why UAE hasnt rescinded Indias OIC invite while hostilities are in full swing. Frankly the fact that Pakistan needs money from these asshats has severely weakened its voice.

Also, anyone notice thatthe twin 25mm cannon of the Azmat appear to have been replaced by a 30mm SMASH?
