might be ok for US or any developed country but not for a country like Pakistan, especially, given the state of our economy.....

Has India been asked to become a full member yet??

Yep but the situation is complicated due to relations with Pakistan and India, until we make peace and solve our issues it will always be a sticky spot but we are in BRICS which is a good economic body but SCO is Political and Military in nature.

Ahh the world would be so better if can resolve our differences but until then
J/K the amount both nations spent over the years on a cold war doctrine would've made both countries well ahead of the rest of the world.

In a landmark development, Russia has announced on Monday that it has lifted an embargo on supplying weapons and military hardware to Pakistan. Speaking to Voice of Russia, Sergey Chemezov, head of Russian state-run technologies corporation Rostec also said that Moscow is negotiating the delivery of several Mi-25 helicopter gunships to Islamabad. Russia, a long-time ally of Pakistan's arch-rival India has clearly indicated a paradigm shift in its relations with its ally of the hard times of the Cold War.
Pakistan was in anti-Soviet Western camp during the Cold War. Pakistan also helped Afghan Mujahedeen fight Soviet invasion of 1980s leading to dismemberment of the Soviet Empire. India has been shocked at this decision as it is not a mere question of selling arms; Russia has taken a strategic decision to lift arms embargo to help Pakistan buy its military hardware.
Pakistan has historically relied on West, particularly UK, France and the USA, for supply of military hardware. Recently Pakistan diversified its sources with inclusion of China in the list of major suppliers of arms and equipment. It is understood that with the draw-down of NATO troops nearing and Afghanistan getting a new government, the powers interested in Afghanistan are enamoring Pakistan because every road to Kabul virtually passes through Islamabad.
Indian analysts are watching the development with bated breath. In his article for RT, one analyst Rajeesh Sharma believes that the Russian move may be far shrewder than one can think. It may well be indicative of a China-Russia-Pakistan (CRP) axis, largely because of flawed policies of the Obama administration.

Russia brushes aside India's concerns, announces decision to supply arms to Pakistan

Pakistan should acquire the Turkish or western origin helicopters. It is great that the embargo is lifted but caution and evaluation is required before any hardware acquisitions.

I totally agree and this definitely is a good chapter for us it can lead to better Bargains with the western manufacturers because they know we have multiple choices now.

I know, I was just messing around
