INDIAN | 8 years ago | Reply No doubt Pakistan Army is the world's best army, they deserve this deal.

OSD | 8 years ago | Reply @Sandip: Haha.. Actually we do thank Gen Bajwa and company for working well enough to elicit petty remarks from across the border. Ohh how it burns. While we are actually progressing with actual projects, our competitors are day dreaming of super power status.

Aisha | 8 years ago | Reply So we want to join another NATO nation that is against us?

Haramullah Fattuddin | 8 years ago | Reply If this story is true, Congrats! Boys got some decent job.

syed mahmood | 8 years ago | Reply @Sandip: Dear Sandip we love love love you. Thanks for your kind remarks.

Sandip | 8 years ago | Reply We are all waiting for the denial to come from the Czech defence ministry by tomorrow, just like the claim on discussion of Kulbhushan Jhadav with President Rouhani.

vinsin | 8 years ago | Reply @Haji Atiya: Well the correct story is that the current visits are to stop bid/support of India for NSG.

Haji Atiya | 8 years ago | Reply Is it just me but somehow I find this story as reported very difficult to grapple with....perhaps something got lost in the translation.

Aisha | 8 years ago | Reply We do not need to train or go on anymore overseas missions. Our troops belong at home defending internally and our borders. Its time we even pull out of UN peacekeeping missions as the UN is spineless with the Saudis bribing them to remove their name from the war crimes list.
