You are playing with words now, if one race considers a term derogatory, then I feel others should respect that, if you think its ok to use that term go ahead, more the fool you….

Will try and find the report for you by a Qatar official denying any sale and basically saying that by doing that it would leave them defenceless

Qatar mirages are not being sold to India or Pak, looks like the Belguim F-16 saga was that PAF did not want them or either US or Belguim did not want us to have them…..

Remeber, many people belived PAF did not have PGMS, but they kept this top secret for years until a pic was published in a book (“Defenders of Pakistan”), showing a Paveway being laoded onto an F-16 in the mid 80s!!!!!!!!!!

I would notg be at all suprised if they have been using stand off weapons from South Africa for many years……afterall its in Pakistans interests and South Africas to keep this quiet!

I think the point Portugal was making was that it was not exactly a fair fight! India had all her armed forces available while Portugal had a garrison…..

against the best F-15s and F-16s in the world, supported by very good EW!? The Iranians would not stand a chance….

You dont actually have a single shred of proof supporting your claims do you?

You think India did not know about a potential Sub or tank deal beforehand? Of course they did, could they stop them? No!Lets not get into speculation like “potential Scorpene or M2K-5 deals” 9which have been talked about for many years now…..

You sign a contract or you dont, thats all that counts…..people like Dassault and DCN court both India and Pakistan, thats the way the world works, it may not fit into your weird logic , but Pakistan wil readily find sellers of high tech weapons, it always has done and always will, regardless of Indian “pressure”….
