There are extremist everywhere… Just like nationalists. So when a few arabs bomb westeners all the other islamic are wrong? Agree there are some people in Pakistan that are not extremely happy with westeners but would you be happy if you wanna pay cash and buy some defence but they are not intrested in selling? Or even sell soyabeans? The anti western mood is not deep rooted and is a result of stupid western behaviour. Now some are linking it to terrorism. In these days it is perfectly normal for states to eradicate groups and tell others they are terrorists… What a wonderful world.

Yes there are extremist everywhere, but Pakistan under Zia encouraged extremism. This policy of breeding extremism was continued by Dictator Musharaff who seized power through a millitary coup. Infact Pakistan is the epicentre of terrorism.

Where did the taliban and Al-queda originate form? who were the supporters and beneficiaries of such movements? The anwer is simple, it is the state of Pakistan and its military dictators. They encouraged extremism to benifit themselves, whether it was Kashmir or Afganistan.

Now why would any one want to sell advanced weaponry to a country which breeds extremism, is ruled by dictators, where democracy is not allowed to take its root, where the general are constantly threatening there neighbours with war, where 20-30 percent of budget is spent on buying arms, where a F-16 was provided to China for reverse engg….

Hell you should be happy they gave you some soyabeans in return.

Singapore to train its armed forces in India

Singapore will train its air force and army units in India for the first time later this year as part of a defence cooperation deal signed between the two countries, Defence Minister Teo Chee Hean said on Thursday.

The Republic of Singapore Air Force units will start training in India by the end of this year, while the Army will commence its exercises early next year, Teo Chee Hean was quoted as saying by a newspaper in Singapore.

The Singapore Air Force servicemen would undergo training in camps in India run by the SAF on long-term leases, it said.

Next Pakistani thread

” Can a F-16 be built from spare parts purchased” 😀

Pakistani posters need to get a dose of reality -:

In dollars terms Indian defence budget has climbed to US Dollars 13.5 billion, from last year’s defence budget of dollars ten billion. The increase of 3.5 billion dollars is equal to the entire defence budget of Pakistan.

http://www.defencejournal.com/2000/june/blitz.htm

This was in the year 2000 in FY 2003-04 the defence budget is around 15bn, and a Rs 25,000-cr Non-lapsable defence modernisation fund has also been created.

The defence budget of India is nearly equal to the entire budget of Pakistan, and still it finds fighters like EF, Rafale expensive to buy, but here we have certain Pakistani posters dreaming of not only buying these expensive fighters but add awacs, 200 FC-1……… to it.

As Sameer said there is a reason the PAF is buying rusted,outdated equipment which is not difficult to figure out.

Well, it did not take long for you to show your true colours did it!?

Yup, proud of the Orange,white and green.

Firstly, I am to assume all of Indias multibillion dollar deals take time, but in teh case of Pakistan its different and some how different rules apply!? Give me a break……..

It is different in case of Pakistan because you are yet to sign a multibillion dollar deal!.

F-7GPs PAF has inducted are more then enough to take on IAF MIG-21s, 23s, 27s and Jags, Pakistan just has to worry about MIG-29,M2K and SU-30, for these reasons it is looking to aqquire a high tech planes.

You want to compare the pgs with the Bison then open a new thread.

FC-1 is being introduced with a view to replacing F-7/Mirage

And you still end up buying outdated,rusted ex-Libyan mirages.

PAF chief in an interview with Alan Warnes in this months AFM had stated PAF is looking at all options for an F-16 replacement, this will be Pakistans next generation aicraft. No offence, bt I will take his word against yours any day……

Its really Sad that these are the only things Your ACMs,Presidents,PrimeMinisters do and have been doing so since the 90s. The only thing they are good at now is giving interviews. The current PAF acm has gone on step further by now saying that the PAF is actively looking at the J-10. Tell you what, instead of giving silly interviews, they should go ahead and acquire a decent fighter aircraft b’cause your Pgs, F-16A/Bs,Mirages and A-5s don’t stand a chance against the likes of the MKIs,M2k,Mig-29s,Jaguars,Bisons……

Hmm…
Jamali visits France = M2K5s for PAF
Dictator Mushy visits US and begs = F-16 C/D for PAF
Mushy going to visit Sweden= Grippen for PAF

We should now start a new post ” Musharaff Visits Death Star”. Can’t imagine what they may acquire from there,any star wars fan lurking.

India aims to fly hypersonic plane in 2007
Press Trust of India
Bangalore, January 1

Indian defence scientists are aiming to fly an indigenous “hypersonic plane” in 2007, designed to cruise three times faster than existing fighter aircraft by consuming lesser fuel.

[B]An eight-metre technology demonstrator is being built by the Hyderabad-based Defence Research and Development Laboratory (DRDL) which will be powered by a Supersonic combustion ramjet (Scramjet) engine, that takes oxygen from the atmosphere and burns liquid hydrogen.

[B] “The ground tests of the engine would begin next year and we aim to fly the unmanned aircraft in 2007”, DRDL Director Prahlada said in Bangalore.

The aircraft would be integrated in India’s aviation capital Bangalore and Hyderabad, he said.

The supersonic combustion ramjet or scramjet engine fired-hyper plane is a high speed transport aircraft that could reduce the flight time by hours because of the weight factor and the engine that does not have a compressor or a turbine.
