Things are pretty sore betwen PM Imran Khan and Macron after the recent spat they had. The Indian's bought Rafales from France and will probably order more so I doubt France will annoy their customer for sake of few engines. Meaning they will block the sale like USA did.

Tell me please what does this have remotey to do with blocking helicopter engines? You just had to machine gun this mud. News flash this your almost 20 years late with AQ and FATF has nothing to do with helicopter engines. One of the greatest untruths you guys have peddled is the role of...

I would not go as far as blaming it on the Iranic group - that is a very diverse peoples and good % of Pakistan is of that extraction including myself. In Pakistan Baloch, Pakhtuns, Wakhi etc are all Iranic including our PM. Even the Punjabi's and Sindhi who make the other half are what you...

Yep. Self sufficiency and or from partners who can be trusted is only way forward. One of the problems with Pakistan defence forces is they have traditionally been postured for large scale, conventional war against India involving mass armour, artillery and air combat. This has left the country...

Example of why these choppers are needed in the vast expanse of Balochistan.

Then the American's croak on about why Pakistan pulls toward the Chinese. There is genuine anger in Pakistan against USA. I am Anglophile and tend to be easy with US but even I struggle to defend American policies. The amount of crap they have unloaded on Pakistan over the decades is shocking -...

Honestly, I was looking forward to a squadron of these unleashed on the terrorists. Also Pakistan would have guranteed supply of spare parts to keep the fleet operating at max operational capacity. Our boys on the ground would have got a boost in morale. But alas ....

WASHINGTON: The United States has prevented Turkey from supplying 30 locally-made attack helicopters to Pakistan, diplomatic sources in Washington told Dawn. According to Bloomberg News, Turkey’s presidential spokesman Ibrahim Kalin told reporters on Monday that “the US has blocked Turkey’s...

Unfortunately over the generations a deep distrust of corrupt governments has led to a culture of tax avoidence which now has almost become ingrained. Even in UK I see this. I live in s suburb on north side of Leeds. My brother works freelance for A Kahn Automotive Design who provide bespoke...

On paper Varanasi, India will have far higher per capita, literacy, health, nutrition, bah, blah then Quetta, Pakistan in the poorest province in Pakistan. But what do your eyes show you? One is on way to Mars. The other about to be the next Somalia. Apparently ! And what you saw in Quetta was...

Can you shift this discussion on identity and heritage to another thread please where I will be more than happy to reply. I would say though that even your religion Hindusim is derived from Vedic religion which is from coterminous Pakistan. Now I repeat my offer open another thread where we can...

I already did. scroll up and you will see. And many of us here, including Turks are diaspora. I have no identity issue. I am a proud Pakhtun with a heritage far superior to any Indians. I am not one of those minority Pakistani rootles Indian mohajirs. The greatest gift ever endowed was the 1947...

It is estimated that 53% of the Pakistani economy is undocumentated. The amount of fuel used in the country is far higher than the official figures. Across the Iran-Pak border there are fleets of vehicles smuggling fuel which is typically sold at 60% of pump price. In fact they call it "Irani...

Your now derailing the thread but I am forced to reply to this nonsense. Pakistan recieved millions of Indian migrants in 1947 who because they came from large urban cities of the Raj tended to have higher literacy and managed to grab a undue share of the state particulary in Karachi. But the...

Sunshine, it's nothing to do with identity. I am very sure, proud of who I am. It's you guys who try to leach on to everything including deluding that the Raj was your product when what existed before 1947 was just a huge prison camp built by Englishmen. I think I have explained before. It's...

I knew this thread was going to be "suicide information overload" and we would get trapped in endless cycle. I am neither a economist or a expert on the matter. However as a lay person I make some simple observations. Just like I don't need scientific data to tell me Britain is more developed...

Pakistan, India as well as Myanmar and Bangladesh are the four successor states to the colony often called British Raj. Pakistan and India gained independance from Britain in August 1947. Between both India most of the British colonial infrastructure including the gift of a newly built capital...

So, let me get this right. Any victory is down to India. But any failure is down to America holding you guys back? Mashallah. Keep smoking the stuff. The greatest army on earth backed up by the Mars humping technology of India as singularly failed to cross a tract of farms less than 6 miles to...

You know how this goes. Both sides will claim they gained here and there. Without being drawn into a futile discussion most will agree that the LOC has fundamentally remained where it was in 1948. Well Nehru died in 1968. Decades followed that. Many Indian leaders have come and gone. You can't...

Be that as it may but what I find incredulous is that since the conflict began between Pakistan and India in 1948 or 72 years ago India has not just mulched Pakistan by marching across that 6 miles of farms [I actually do 6 miles jogs on weekends] to Lahore. India could then either decide to use...
