Re: Pakistani Economic Stress Watch

Their infrastructure spending was heavy in the mid-late 1990s under badmash. They built multiple long intercity motorways then, back before India had anything like that.

I'd have thought that a VLS launched missile will have a quicker reaction time + can handle multi-directional saturation attacks better. When designing air-defense systems, individual components, and concepts of employme...
