The other thing I was wondering about was, that General Sattar, who was house arrested and then forced to resign. Was he a Qadiani? His last name is the same as Abdus Sattar, the nobel prize winner. I know last names don't really tell if one is Shia / Sunni / Qadiani etc, but just wondering. At the ...

Re: Twin Engine Deck Based Fighter (TEDBF): News & Discussion

AMCA vs ORCA
I think the ORCA can be built much more quickly than the AMCA.
This will be a step in the AMCA process.
This can be made with current materials and processes. The AMCA needs an entirely new building process, RAM coatings, extreme care in building.
