i will prefer France in place of India. The quality and their past performance is not so good
September 9th, 2009 on 10:05
yes a agree with u ashraf france have a better army then india indian army dont have the stomach for a fight. where as the pakistani has a good army with a very good past & generals to lead from the front look at the defence budjet 5.2bn
October 5th, 2009 on 03:02
i am not agree with both of you ashraf and sarkozy i think pakistan should not to be in top 10 list after loose 2 war against india 1971 & kargil. pakistan dosn`t have defence force which realy can defeat india.
October 27th, 2009 on 08:23
lol hitesh parmar what you say about 1948 when you lost half of the kashmir and then went to u.n.o. to stoap war.
similarly in 1965 you again went to u.n.o to stoap war after lossing your Terretory. In this war you lost 130 aircrafts and pakistan only lost 30, and pakistan set world record of destroying most fighter plnes in a single combat.
although we loss 1971 but in this war your air force again lost 101 planes.
now what happend in kargil? it is admited by your forces that due to winter they came down from the mountains(shame on your forces) and pakistani forces climbed up and war started when you could not access them then you went to u.s.a to access these mountains lol come with facts

Hi,umairashraf i have checked your reply to
Hitesh Parmar and came to know a lot about Indian forces.But lets face the fact that the annual budget of pakistani defence is 5.2 BN $ still they are taking lot of money from US.A century has passed but pakistan has not made any single fightercraft within the country.Moreover the advance fightercraft is also been given by US(F-15).And about the kargil war,we have been controlling our territory from last 60 years in such a breath stopping weather.
If we talk the internal problem of pakistan,they still could not stop the talibali activities in the country and when a foreign cricket team came in the pakistan they went back with the wounded bodies.We have a fouthcoming world cup in 2011 wherein it is been canxlled in pakistan.

well Bharat Sehgal… i agree tat there is terrorism goin on in Pakistan bt we are controlling it very well … n a example is a big successful Opeartion in Swat valley which no1 even thought it cud b tat successful in jux 3 monthx… n now we are gonNa finish dem off…INSHALLAH
we now have so much experience dealing with Suicide attacks… n in a result now so many of dem r just failed attemptx…
Even US army in Afghanistan cudnt control dem as compared to Pakistan we ave atleast Public support n a ongoing Winning War..
India shud take care of itx on Militancy Movementx.. like d “Mao Rebels” i hope i ave spelled ryt.. lol

Hi,UmErRajpoot,I have been keeping eyes on the international affairs…
Well lot of R n D’s and still concerns are there not resolved yet, Rebellion is the face of defects in any nation. And no nation could survive without negative thoughts; negativity is the key to development. Rebellions are very much humans and fighting for their rights, and feels neglected. However at least they are not doing anything like trying to takeover what does not belongs to them. At least something which is beyond their reach… like heaven on earth.
November 22nd, 2009 on 18:43
Haha. It’s by the number of troops the country has, not their fighting quality or reputation.
December 17th, 2009 on 00:21

Interesting article. I do not understand why North Korea is continuously acting so belligerently. Kim Jung Il must simply be a nutter. Because nothing good would ever result from how he’s acting.
