^^^^ As for Chinese guns, the AKs are considered above all the Eastern European ones and equal to the Russians. This is reflected in their pricing on gunbroker.com. In my opinion, since I own them all, only the Vz.58 is better, but that's only because it's not a true AK. I would love to be able to ...

that being said, Rus might not be so keen to sell it right now, unless PAKFA production and tech stabilizes. In the link (http://idrw.org/?p=15621#more-15621) it suggests that Russia is more interested in selling large numbers of Su 35 to China rather than a few which could be used for reverse engi...

Not sure how having K-100 protects the aircaft from being intercepted, ideal firing range of K-100 will be around 200 km vs around 60 km for BVR missile, so it won't take much for escort aircraft to intercept the Su-30mki post K-100 launch. Even worse if Su-30mki carrying the gigantic K-100 gets in...

Boreas

The same job can still be done by Su-30mki with any BVR missile it is not that easy to protect a large target even with squardon of escort fighters, heck even back in later days of WW2 B-17s had a high loss rate from lone Luftwaffe fighters in spite of having dozens of P-38s escorting them. Also ke...

@Singha

Good... but that will need a lots of further technology development. Can be a option for future. But imo not feasible in coming decade even with most optimistic timeline.

Boreas

It make little sense to procure a missile that can be carried by only one platform and to counter a specific threat... I disagree! The importance of AWACS is phenominal. In war any country that scores even 1 or 2 AWACS kills can impart devastating phycological effect on its opponent. Specially if t...

As far as I know in 1989 PAF F-16 were not nuclear capable. There was one incident in 1990 when PA/PAF loaded a nuclear bomb (imported readymade from china) in one of its C-130, this was under Benajir Bhutto. Another was under zia-ul-haq in 1986 or 87, but that was i guess just words without any rea...

Has anything new happened inside pakistan or between India-Pakistan that was not already being happening since last 10 years?

@nachiket.. While I respect your opinion of putting it in the category of "being questionable". I think it was a well thought of decision. As under no circumstances we were aiming to grab any landmass beyond what was previously under our control. And for that purpose that strategy worked v...

Boreas

and what are the constrains you are aware of.. that you found so stupid? IAF aircraft were not allowed to cross into paki airspace under any circumstances. That meant the paki supply lines could not be targetted at their most vulnerable points inside PoK. This also put severe restrictions on the in...

Idrw.org is hoping that current mystery will be solved in Aero India next year or in the coming months soon , DRDO is currently planning three Prototypes of AMCA which will carry out initial test flights .

thats a good idea! Hope it is pursued.

Saudi cash + oil for Chinese Nuclear Missiles The Saudis offered Beijing $60 billion plus an oil bonanza for a single nuclear warhead. China has agreed in principle to sell the Saudis medium-range Dong-Feng 21 ballistic missiles in return for the cash and/or having its oil requirements for the next...

D Roy.. u posted it before me. I haven't read an article filled with greater stupidity than it. Simply can't understand what is the motive of writing all this? With nuclear weapons around, only a shield that will guarantee blocking every single missile is the only one worth having. As of now there i...

The simplest benefit is.. it lets you identify many more hidding under the rag. In older times it also helped in breaking ciphered communication. All that is fine but at the time when he was running out from country they should have nabbed him if R&AW knew what he was up too as the former boss ...

To someone from outside, it seems clear that the Army must accept blame for the various issues. If a succession plan is being drawn to favour an undeserving candidate, it is being done by someone from within. The MS branch is a part of the force as well.
