Welcome to defence hub. Nice to see fresh Pakistani blood here.

I mentioned that earlier. Contrary to common perception Wehrmacht depended on horses and mules for logistics. The WWII German Army was 80% Horse Drawn; Business Lessons from History The bulk of the German Army—the dough feet of the normal infantry divisions—moved on shank's...

I don't think that would have made a differance. When the German advance halted on the outskirts of Moscow down to logistics and weather the writing was on the wall. Red Army that built up in the following spring was another beast. Russian production was now outpacing German production and huge...

It's been many years since I read the book Operation Barborossa by Alan Clark. But if memory serves was it not the fact that Russians got wind of the impending attack and laid line after line of defences designed to pull in German armour and then kill it. also they had reserves waiting which...

With respect, in my opinion it would have merely at best, extented the war. If you look at 1943 the Russians were hammering the Germans. They were being brutally beaten back. Most of this was down to massive Red Army attacks involving mass armour, artillery and infantry punches. Operation...

CCI employs close to 8,500 people and has operations in Azerbaijan, Iraq, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Pakistan, Syria, Tajikistan, Turkey and Turkmenistan. CCI Pakistan produces, distributes and sells sparkling and still beverages of The Coca-Cola company in Pakistan. Having first started...

Ultimately it was the brutal numbers. The Germans simply got outgunned, outmanned and swamped fro the forces of the combined Allies. The Germans did not lose on account of valour, fighting ability or skill. But brute numbers did them in. If anybody has watched Mike Tyson boxing will know the...

Interesting but I think the real strength of the Wehrmacht lay in it's officer quality and training. Concepts like Blitzkrieg and Kampfgruppe were fitst applied on scale by the Germans. The former gave the template at statregic level whilst on the ground the Kampfgruppe provide a fast, flexible...

Turkey is not USA and Pakistan certainly is not. American's bring into play a economic power of a magnitude that bends and warps geographic distances even when regions are on other side of the globe. The point I was making was what is neeed right now is move to developing trade corridor which...

Frustrating as it is but this is a incremental process. For Pakistan Turkey is the closest country with window into Europe. This offers enormous potential. For Turkey Pakistan is a huge, emerging market. However a efficient transport corridor is a must between the two. Whether that runs through...

Okay kid. Bravo. Would it not sound better if you had projected at at 20% rather than 10%. If you want to brag, at least brag big.

I think you will find Chinese economy is better than India. Looking at India/Pak from Chinese perspective is like a Ferrari looking at two snails on the highway. Meantime gestate on this -

The face behind Broadsheet.

Don't take this guy seriously. I deeply respect people who hold thoughts trhat are at variance with me. You can ask @Joe Shearer that I have have enormous respect for people who hold differant vantage points. Diversity is what gives life it's charm. But this guy never gives any reasoning. Never...

While that may hold some truth but it is not a absolute anymore than saying to a victim that "it is the life you deserve". There are so many variables at play. For instance Shah of Iran was imposed on Iran by American interferance with CIA arranged removal of the elected PM Dr Mossadeg. Would...

The greatest "affliction" endowed on Pakistan was the dirty, slimy, grubby politicians of ML who ruled Pakistan from 1947 to 1958, full 11 years was the Objective Resolution in 1949 which effectively gave away the future of the country to the ignorant mullah. Even you have accepted that...

That was to @Nilgiri and not you.

You can flog all the excuses you want. But I posted a chart straight from World Bank which is quite clear in showing what I said. Your not going to accept that. The grand figures you quote for India are the gross. Any country with nearly 1.4 billion population will have grand numbers. But the...
