Re: Small Arms Thread
Right, No, there isn't as in no 13 countries are not already using it? Or, as in atleast 10 of those countries are not using it in special forces operations? Or that it is also not being used by the U.N. ? And Yes, I am a H&K salesman. My real name is Bruno! :rotfl: But more importantly I think ...

Re: International Military Discussion
Unless, all the nukes are located in a narrow strip of land called Israel, I really don't think it is a no-win situation for a country that has vast expenses of desert in it. In any case, there is not always a need to have a full scale war. Just enough war. The Birth rate of Jews in Israel is 1.7 th...

Re: Small Arms Thread
Sure, there is a demand for the MP5, but apparantly it can't penetrate the new gen vests that are commercially available now. There is a move to the much better designed and more powerful MP7 in developed nations. The MP-5 has a high degree of relevence in Urban CT/HRT ops. Because for the most par...

Re: International Military Discussion
I agree with you, but I think they have mostly other goals in mind. Like wresting back the control of the place where the prophet(PBUH) ascended to heaven. I think the arabs don't get enough credit for what they do with so little. Write now they are one of the most technologically backward people in...

Re: MRCA News and Discussion
U.S.A is going around saying that 'maneuverability is rrelevant' in order to sell F-35's(manuverability is not one of its top selling points) You have it backwards, the F-35 wasn't designed with maneuverability as a top priority (although it still is very good, comparable to F-16) BECAUSE they foun...

Re: MRCA News and Discussion

The rest of the capability can be added along the way for any fighter , but if one starts with an basic fundamental flaw in AA performance and rely on superior electronics or BVR ...

P-tani's, are trying to find new venues for advancement of their relations with India's traditional allies.

Re: Vote for the MRCA
. It has already provided Pakistan with a Block 52 F-16 weapon. If indeed selling weapons to countries is all that matters to U.S. then we are better off with Russia and Israel at least we are guaranteed that they won’t be supplying any weapons to Pakistan any time soon. So what! Who cares if Pakis...

Re: Vote for the MRCA
Pakistan is turning to Turkey to upgrade their F-16s, so I don't see the dependence on the US. U.S.A is arming Pakistan through proxy via Turkey as it doesn’t want to be seen directly supplying Pakistan the game changing weapons. It is well understood by all where the weapons for Turkey come from, ...
