usman rwp although there has been some corruption in top levels of military, fact is pakistan has made far more progress in defence sector than any other sector of economy. infact today from submarines to ships, small arms to rockets, tanks, armoured vehicles,nukes, missiles, now 4th generation fighter air crafts are being produced here. indians import all these and their last years bill was 30 billion dollars. indians are yet to produce a working tank, armored vehicle, aircraft, lagging behind in small arms production. doubt exists on there nuclear status. 1998 tests were not a complete success. just yesterday their prime missile ended up in a different ocean from the targetted one....if we dont make it, we will have to buy it like indians... yes there are good people and bad people in military as in civil society,,, far more can be achieved both in defence and on economic front... pakistan has a great potential, we are waisting so much of it both in economic front and on military front due to corruption.. this will have to change soon if we want to survive.. but every thing is not a eye wash, especially projects like jf alkhalid, alzarar, they have kept both india and america and israel out of our borders for past eight years and counting...they have freed us from effects of military sanctions. now we dont care if america delivers f16 or not.. they are pretty good... by the way it was not the previous air chief but the current one who ordered fighter to air after mumbai attacks last year...do keep in touch with reality.. |
