USZ Afghan commander General Patraeus quits!


General David Petraeus took over in July and has been lauded in America for his achievements in southern Afghanistan. However due to massive life loss and huge death toll in 2011, the panicked USZ general has quit his post despite the hilarious babbling by Pentagon that it replaced him in part of a natural rotation. The general, who has become the most popular USZ solider of his day following the Iraq surge of 2007, has repeatedly dismissed talk of running for the White House in the future. But speculation on his next role has also included becoming Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the post from which Mike Mullen is expected to retire in October.

USZ appointed Afghanistan Commander General David Patraeus

General Petraeus took charge after Zionist puppet President Obama sacked his predecessor, Gen Stanley McChrystal, over his realistic comments that he had made in a Rolling Stone magazine interview about USZ losing in Afghanistan, which Patraeus has realized now to be true.

18 USZ soldiers killed - 3 tanks destroyed in Afghanistan - Death toll hits 378 in 2011


According to latest reports coming from Afghanistan's Washir district, early this morning, a USZ tank was obliterated in Shah Pashti’s Dolkak area, killing and wounding all 4 invaders inside. It is worth mentioning that this is the sixth tank from the huge USZ military convoy that has been destroyed while passing through this district since Monday and 24 soldiers have been killed since February 14 in this area. The convoy is now at stand still because the soldiers fear other bombs on the way.

Earlier yesterday, a Mujahid carried out a gallant attack on a big USZ patrol party in Andar district of Ghazni province last evening. Immediately after the enemy's attention was diverted, several Mujahideen opened fire from the opposite direction on the USZ patrol. The intensity of the attack was so high that two USZ tanks were absolutely destroyed by the end of the fierce battle in which Mujahideen used rocket launchers and other deadly weapons. Reports say that some 14 USZ invaders were killed on the spot. The remaining enemies fled from the battlefield dragging the injured soldiers behind them carelessly.

This huge battle took place after a silence of several days which Mujahideen say is mainly because USZ invaders were too scared to even patrol the volatile areas due to which they managed to avoid their deaths for some days. But today they started once again and Mujahideen got a chance to hit the coward international terrorists with full force. The death toll in Afghanistan this year has now climbed to 378. It is interesting to note at this point that David Patreus, USZ commander for Afghanistan, has quit from his duties in Afghanistan since he can see an obvious defeat has been written in the destiny of the collapsing superpower United States of Zionism at the hands of the most fierce fighters of the world living in Graveyard of Empires.

Bahrain: Israhelli snakes in government to use LIVE AMMUNITION against protesters as protests continue on 3rd day


Thousands of Bahrainis have gathered in the capital Manama to protest the recent killing of two demonstrators by security forces. Several hundred people took part in a funeral procession on Wednesday for Fadel al-Matrook, 31, who was shot dead a day earlier in clashes with security forces, sources said. “We are requesting our rights in a peaceful way”, twenty-year-old university student Bakr Akil said. “I am optimistic that our big presence will achieve our demands”. Some 2,000 protestors -- demanding regime change in the tiny Persian Gulf kingdom -- spent the previous night in tents at the Pearl Roundabout in the heart of Manama. Matrook was one of around 4,000 demonstrators who had attended a procession on Tuesday for another slain protester, 27 year-old Ali Abdulhadi Mushaima. Mushaima was shot on Monday when police fired a barrage of tear gas and live bullets in the village of Daih -- near the capital Manama -- to suppress a pro-democracy protest. He later succumbed to his gunshot wounds in hospital.

Meanwhile, Bahraini lawmaker, Jassim al-Saeedi, has urged the government to use live ammunition against the protesters. The Bahrain Human Rights Society (BHRS), however, has expressed shock over the suggestion. “All I have to say is that thank God he is not in a position where he can order the country's police to use such force against citizens”, BHRS Secretary General Dr. Abdulla al-Derazi said. “It's strange that an MP, who has an important role in creating Bahrain's legislature, is for the use of violence. He should defend the dignity, integrity and humanity of people instead of calling for such an act”, he added. Human Rights Watch on Tuesday called on Bahraini authorities to order security forces to stop attacks on peaceful protesters and investigate the recent shooting deaths. Bahrain's king has also announced an investigation into the deaths of two Bahraini protesters killed in the recent tension, which has rocked the island nation. “The kingdom of Bahrain is a country of law and constitutional institutions. We have a law that organizes peaceful demonstrations that was decreed by an elected committee. The right to express one's opinion is a right that is given by the constitution and has been organized by the law which we must all follow”, Israhelli Snake Sheikh Hamad bin Issa al-Khalifa, stated on Tuesday.

USZ, UK scapegoated an Iraqi Chemical Scientist to wage war on Iraq


An Iraqi chemical engineer says he had been used as a scapegoat for the 2003 launch of the USZ-led and UK-aided invasion of Iraq. “They gave me this chance. I had the chance to fabricate something…”, Rafid Ahmed Alwan al-Janabi told British daily The Guardian on Tuesday. He had told Western spy agencies that Baghdad had secret mobile biological weapons and hidden weapons of mass destruction (WMD) factories. Former USZ President George W. Bush cited the false alarm as the rationale behind the invasion -- which has killed at least one million Iraqis, most of them civilians.

To enable the invasion, the government of former British Premier Tony Blair had also claimed that deposed Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein could mount deadly unconventional attacks on his desired targets within 45 minutes. A memoire by Former USZ Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld recently hit the shelves, in which he admitted that Baghdad had no WMD program. The British paper also cited Janabi as saying that UK intelligence officials had implied that, in the event of his non-cooperation, his then-pregnant Moroccan-born wife may not be able to travel from Spain to join him in Germany, where he was staying. “He says, you work with us or your wife and child go to Morocco.”

{EOP}Interview with Former DG ISI General (r) Hameed Gul on current situation of Pakistan

Former ISI chief General (r) Hameed Gul says Pakistan will not have to face any kind of negative consequences in case it refuses to release Raymond Davis, the killer of two innocent Pakistanis, despite growing USZ pressure. In an interview to the media, he said even isolation of Pakistan in the comity of nations would be a blessing in disguise and the Islamic Republic would emerge as a stronger country, just like China and Russia had done in such a situation. He said if tiny countries like Cuba and North Korea could withstand pressures, there was no reason why Pakistan could not do so. Answering a question, the former ISI chief said the establishment knew well what the government was doing. However, it was deliberately keeping silent because in the past it was branded as a spoiler. In his opinion the government’s decision to call a round table conference on the issue of Raymond Davis amounted to shirking its responsibility. He said the rulers wanted to share the burden with all parties, which is dishonesty.

Former DG ISI General (r) Hameed Gul

Here is what he said in his interview to the media:

Q: In your assessment what can the consequences in case Pakistan refuses to release Raymond Davis, as being demanded by the US?

Ans: Nothing! They can’t afford to abandon Pakistan if it stands up to them in full length, because their lines of communications go from Pakistan to Afghanistan. The NATO is already face-to-face with defeat in the battlefield. It will be a disaster for them if the vulnerable lines of communications are choked. I think they will do nothing. But my inner wish is that they should break up ties with Pakistan so that we can breathe freely. Let there be no doubt that Pakistan has all the wherewithal to survive as a free and honourable state. If we are isolated, it will be good for us. Let me remind you that there was a time when China was isolated at international level. Then Russia faced a similar situation during the days of Iron Curtain and became a world power. Tiny Cuba survived the USZ sanctions. North Korea is doing well despite food and fuel shortages. I’ll also like to take you back to Islamic history. It was because of the isolation of the state of Medina that Islam flourished. Had Medina not been attacked and isolated, there would have been no Islam today. What I mean to say is isolation sometimes is a blessing in disguise. Maybe, this is what is needed by Pakistan to move forward.

Q : It is generally believed that the army doesn’t keep silent if a government works against the national interests or is involved in corruption. But despite the fact that countless corruption stories of the present rulers have been published by the media, the powers that be seem to have turned a blind eye. As a former ISI chief, will you like to say whether the perception about the government is wrong or the establishment is not discharging its obligations?

Ans: The establishment has taken a deliberate decision of not interfering in government’s matters. This is a conscious decision, because the establishment is already labeled as spoilers of “demoncrazy”. That’s why they are allowing them to carry on. In fact, the opposition is not playing its role. There is a certain deal of anxiety in the establishment. You remember when the issue of Kerry Lugar Bill was under discussion, the army had given its point of view on the subject (which was totally different from the thinking of the government). Then when the ISI was going to be given under the control of the Interior Ministry, a soft check was applied (as a result of which the decision was reversed). Then everybody knows how eager the government was to get closer to India. The establishment thinks that India is Pakistan’s enemy Number 1. The government was also ready to launch an operation in North Waziristan Agency to please the United States of Zionism. But the establishment stood in the way.It is the duty of the establishment to take steps to safeguard the country’s long-term interests. The governments come and go. They have their agendas. But the establishment has no populist agenda, it has to watch national interests in all situations. This role of the army is as true for Pakistan as Pentagon’s for the United States of Zionism. If political parties have some long-term objectives, they should mention their programs in their election manifestos. If they want a compromise on Kashmir, they should mention it in their manifestos. But unfortunately, political parties after coming to power succumb to USZ pressure, although what they say in public seems very close to people’s sentiments. WikiLeaks had revealed recently that when the parliament passed a resolution against the unabated drone attacks, the prime minister deemed it fit to tell the USZ ambassador that they were free to continue to attacks the targets while the government would go for a (mock) protest. Then the president was quoted as saying that he did not care for the collateral damage in these attacks. This is tantamount to cheating on sentiment of the people as well as parliament. If this is demoncrazy, what is dictatorship?

Q: Politicians say that people can judge their performance better. They argue that if voters of a leader are not satisfied with his performance or are of the view that he is corrupt, they will reject them in elections. Is accountability by voters sufficient in a country like ours where nobody would mind being rejected by people after he has accumulated enough money through corrupt practices?

Ans: This is a diabolically nonsensical notion that electoral mandate is actually the ownership right. It is only a temporary letter of appointment. You are judged on the basis of your performance. If you did not measure up to people’s expectations, then you lose the moral mandate. People have the right to cancel the letter of appointment of all such people.

Q: At a time when all parties have representation in parliament, the government plans to hold a Round Table Conference. Do you think the initiative will serve any useful purpose?

Ans: I think the proposed RTC is being held only on the issue of Raymond Davis, the USZ national who killed two innocent Pakistanis. Instead of discharging its duty by taking any decision on the issue of his immunity, it is shirking its responsibility. They want the burden shared by everybody. This is dishonesty – to say the least. I don’t approve of the RTC in this case, because if the RTC says “yes” to the immunity issue, the entire leadership will stand discredited. And this is not good for demoncrazy.

Q: The Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces – the President – once said that India poses no threat to Pakistan. However, the thinking of the Armed Forces is totally different. In your opinion, how is possible for the Armed Forces to work with such a supreme commander?

Ans: Let me tell you very frankly that the entire nation is with the Army. There is a long history of Indian hostility towards Pakistan. You know the Kashmir issue has not been settled so far; water dispute is also there; Siachen is also like a battleground. India’s military leadership has now come up with a new doctrine against Pakistan. India also continues to backstab Pakistan through Afghanistan; efforts are also continuing to destabilize Pakistan through terrorist activities. India, Israhell and the United States of Zionism also want to denuclearize Pakistan.

Q: Terrorist activities are being carried out in almost all parts of the country. In some incidents even the military troops were killed. Who in your opinion is behind these activities? Do the growing terrorist activities not reflect the failure of our intelligence agencies?

Ans: Yes, I agree that it’s the failure of our institutions. But no one should forget that it’s very difficult to prevent a determined terrorist or a suicide bomber from reaching his target. Such failures have not been seen in Pakistan alone. You take the example of USZ, UK and many other countries. Terrorist activities could not be prevented even in these countries. Pakistan is in the eye of a storm. Such failures don’t reflect inefficiency of the institutions because many powerful forces are working against Pakistan’s security. As if drone attacks were not sufficient, now “Raymond Davis attacks” are also being carried out. How many people are involved in these attacks, nobody can say at this stage. But I have no doubt that there are people who are out to portray Pakistan as a failed state, not capable of keeping nuclear arsenals. This is the image of Pakistan they want to portray. It’s a monumental conspiracy against the state and people of Pakistan.

Q: Thousands of Blackwater operatives are reportedly active in various parts of the country. Some newspapers even published the addresses of the houses these operatives are living in. But the Armed Forces have not taken any step against these people. What does this mean?

Ans: In fact, we are experiencing a Camp David-like situation that Egypt had to face after signing the accord with Israhell in 1979. Pakistan’s Camp David was ‘signed’ by former president and prime minister Pervez Musharraf and Shaukat Aziz. It is the ghost of Camp David that is responsible for all our sufferings. I feel the USZ forces have been allowed to carry out operations as they wish – in utter disregard of Pakistan’s laws. This is all because of the NRO. The facts behind the NRO- midwifed by USZ and UK- must be exposed.

Q: Drone attacks on tribal areas are continuing and the government has stopped even condemning them or lodging a protest, no matter how many casualties. What should be done to stop these attacks?

Ans: Drone attacks are part of an invisible war against Pakistan. If drone attacks are abrasive to tribal traditions which arouse people to take revenge, the attacks carried out by people like Raymond Davis and mercenaries are part of efforts to denuclearize Pakistan and cast it into image of a terrorist state. The enemies want to cut Pakistan to size and also denuclearize it. As for the government’s inability to have them halted, you must bear in mind that policies in Pakistan are being framed under the shadow of the National Reconciliation Ordinance. These agreements continue to haunt both the political scene and security template of Pakistan.

Q: The USZ has destroyed Afghanistan and Iraq. Its policy towards many Islamic countries is also adversarial. Why is it so?

Ans: It’s all because of the overriding security concerns of Israhell – which is an illegitimate state with a very short shelf life. Unless it is fully supported by West, led by the USZ, it can’t survive. Israhell wants the USZ and the West to deal with any threat to the Jewish state. The USZ also wants to grab all energy resources lying in this region. In fact, 70% of the energy resources are in the Islamic world. The USZ also wants to contain China as a giant military power.

  • {EOP}A Light Sabre for the Third World: The FC-1 / JF-17 Thunder (II){PAKISTAN AIR FORCE}

    A Light Sabre for the Third World: The FC-1 / JF-17 Thunder (II)

    Finer Salients

    According to the JF-17's engineers at Chengdu, the JF-17 has the world's second combat aircraft to have DSI intakes. These intakes reduce weight, costs and complexity while improving performance. The intake reduces one of the three major forward scatters of an aircraft that typically represents between 30%-35% of the RCS of an aircraft. While the JF-17 began with a similar wing design concept to the F-16, The JF-17 has incorporated a leading-edge root extension that is similar in concept to the F/A-18. The leading-edge root extension (LERX) covers an area of about 9% of the Wing area. This has led to an improved Center of Gravity (CG) and better harmonization of its multirole capability by taking advantage of the pitch digital fly-by-wire Flight Control Systems (FCS) and the variations possible with the LERX.

    The result of this is to improve control of the aircraft and to lower supersonic drag. Given the low margins on this class of combat aircraft, such improvement represent a significant feat.

    The JF-17's Man Machine Interface (MMI), with full Hands On Throttle-And-Stick (HOTAS) and glass cockpit represent a truly 4+ generation in combat aircraft. The aircraft has the capa­bility to perform air defense, inter­diction, airfield strike, precision strike, and escort missions. While deep penetrations into Indian airspace may not be in the order of the day, given the close proximity of many Indian airfields and military installations, the JF-17 can play a significant role for the PAF, even in strike, a role sometimes overlooked by analysts. With the latest modifications and the newer version of the RD-93 (or WS-13), the JF-17 will be able to perform at a large radius of action.

    In terms of meeting PAF's specifications, the JF-17 has the distinction of exceeding the PAF Air Staff require­ments, including (surprisingly), for the attack role.

    The Russian RD-93, despite "engineered" controversy by the Indian media, is slated to power at least the initial batches of the JF-17. The RD-93 is to be equiped with advanced crystal blade technology and a Digital Electronic Engine Control (DEEC). Other than improving the engine performance, the DEEC results in carefree handling under a wide range of conditions and at virtually all relevant altitudes.
    The JF-17 has been designed from day one for ease of operations and maintainability. One such feature is that of a single point pressure refueling sys­tem. This significantly reduces the turn around time, meaning more sorties can be generated, while maintenance intensive Indian aircraft remain grounded. This is furthered by the modular mainte­nance design of the aircraft. The level of the serviceability and ease of general maintenance is further illustrated by how panels and components are installed at man's height and a full computer-controlled fault diagnosis and analysis system can be relied upon.
    JF-17 II: Evolution Continued

    The JF-17 is a truly remarkable plane. Starting from the basic designs that Chengdu and the PAF were tinkering with, the Super-7 with basically a MiG-21 with side intakes, it has evolved into a completely different beast. The Internet Military Aviation community was taken by complete surprise, almost shock when the JF-17 came out with a modern cockpit, DSI intakes and previously unseen quality of build.

    Yet, when even the most ardent followers of the program had thought that the JF-17 had fully evolved, it has once again surprised all of us in its next evolution. It is likely that this evolution is going to take shape after the second batch. Changes are comprehensive and across the board and include greater range, lower RCS, AESA radar and a new engine with greater TWR (thrust to weight ratio).

    The lower RCS is to be reached using new materials, including advanced composites. A new RAM paint is also rumored that is said to be similar to that being used on the F-35. The nose will see comprehensive redesign and is rumored to incorporate a new AESA radar set of Chinese origin. One proposition is that the single tail is replaced with twin-tails similar to the F-35. A new DSI is also projected that will further lower RCS.

    The TWR of the engine is projected to increase with the WS-13, which are likely to go into the second batch. The iteration of the WS-13, possibly the "WS-13A" is likely to go into the stealthier JF-17. Another painted scenario is of a further iteration of the RD-93. This will marginally increase the TWR further, which itself will increase the TWR marginally.

    However, this increase in the TWR of the engine will be moderated by the increase in the wing size, greater internal fuel and the twin tails, amongst other weight increases. On the other hand, newer materials and over all weight decreasing projects in turn will moderate these weight increases.

    The stealthier JF-17 will incorporate a larger wing, improving higher altitude maneuverability. This is a crucial aspect that is increasingly becoming important in BVR combat, where the higher and faster jets can in some form take pot shots at slower and lower BVR platforms. Another aspect of the larger wing will be increased internal fuel carrying capacity. This is addresses one of the areas that the JF-17 is weaker in - range and the ability to stay on station longer.

    The nose, vital areas of the cockpit as well as a whole host of other technical areas will be addressed. the nose will in fact be fully redesigned around a new AESA radar and be formated to lower RCS. The DSI design is also being redesigned to better accommodate and optimize higher altitudes and higher speeds. A second generation of the onboard information collection, dissemination and display will be incorporated.
    However, thrust vectoring will not be incorporated, neither will be internal carriage of weapons. This planned version may or may not go into production. However, all, most or many of the changes may be incorporated into the third batch of 50 being ordered by Pakistan. My personal opinion is that this prototype is more of a technology demonstrator. Major changes would not be appropriate unless a major export customer is found. I would think however that all the minor changes, as well as a few crucial major ones will be incorporated. This is likely to include the new engine, as well as the larger wings. Stealth features should also be incorporated but major redesign is likely to be avoided for the 3rd batch production models (such as twin tails and new nose). This version will be targeted for export and will not be part of the Chinese arsenal.

    Much of this data is based on rumor, informed speculation and some insider sources. I am grateful to the military aviation community on the web, including Pakdef (particularly pshamim) as well as the dozen or so of the top Chinese military forums.
    Note: Picture does not necessarily indicate future design.

    Pervez Shamim of Pakdef recently adds:

    Some more interesting news. We are aware of many of them. But thought that let me share what I heard recently.

    We have seen the controversy regarding the JF-17 engines but now this matter is amicably resolved. And as result Pakistan has received the small batch of two (SBP) this year and doubts subsided. Before the end of this year, another six similar fighters are expected to arrive in Pakistan together with arms and the whole system within this month.

    According to plan, the first installment of Pakistan produced- JF-17 next year will have air refueling capability with further improvements in the design. The new production JF-17 will be inducted in 2009. By 2015 Pakistan Air Force plans to replace all the A-5C (strong 5 - C), Mirage 3 and 5, and F-7 - P / PG.

    In addition, the activities with and by foreign buyers has already started and a number of countries have shown strong interest in the JF-17.

    In regards to the engines, Pakistan is not involved in the Sino-Russian RD-93 engine contract, but the Russians have made an oral commitment to Pakistan that it will not stop the transfer of RD-93 engines.
    Taking into account the development of engine technology in the next RD-93 may be the new RD-93B replacement. The new engine thrust will have 10% increase. At the same time China is also developing its own aircraft engine and it may actually produce the RD-93B in China and that will ensure the supply of Jf-17 engines in the long run.

    My Pakistani sources say that the new engine’s performance is superior to RD-93. More composite material will be added to the Fuselage. JF-17's Thrust-Weight Ratio will increase with increase in thrust.

    The new engine will also provide China and Pakistan with advantage and will enable JF-17 to compete directly with the Russian MIG-29OVT

    JF-17 in other areas have also been improved. Aerodynamic improvements have increased their mobility, as well as the ability to engage in a variety of tasks. The small batches manufactured JF-17 is likely to represent the ultimate models of aircraft body Design. Particularly noteworthy is the central fuselage of DSI inlet used in the JF-17 has brought some stealth capability. Other improvements include reduced body weight, through redesigned interior more space has been created, an increase of the fuel carrying capacity, and increased range. Aircraft will achieve speed of 1.8 Mach. After the the improved engine, aircraft’s performance will further be enhanced. The new information shows that the current design will be frozen for the next three years before some further changes are introduced.

    Other internal changes that are taking place include the introduction of entire telex control and a more advanced electronic equipment. The new batches will include an IRST. The JF-17 has the all-glass cockpit as we already know, and the first 50 JF-17 will be installed with KLJ-10 radar. Pakistan Air Force is very satisfied with the performance of this radar

    In fact there is a reason for making the KLJ-10 radar development very important as it will be put into the first batch of JF-17 for launch of SD-10 giving them the BVR capability. Pakistan Air Force has sought this core capability for a long time, and the JF-17 will be able to shoulder the huge air defense burden. Though there has benn some recent talk of Rc-400 and they may be integrated with the 2nd batch production, Pakistan Air Force ultimately will choose a more advanced AESA radar and the negotiation are already underway with Western suppliers unless China who has been working to develop one can come up with the AESA soon. PAF has not made a decision yet, but it is believed that with the second batch of JF-17 military service, the issue will be resolved .

    Finally, the Pakistan Air Force will also use the data chain technology to achieve communication between different platforms for safety data transmission. In 2009 PAF expect to have Saab 2000 ready and gain the ability to use data links, JF-17 will also possesses advanced electronic warfare system, which is still in shrouds, New aircrafts will also have the missile attack Early Warning System (MAWS) sensors. With the new improvements in electronic warfare capability, PAF bekieves that the JF-17 once put into service will be second only to the F-16C BLOCK 52.
    Domestic production JF-17

    In 2008, Pakistan is confident of producing annualy 15 aircrafts, and gradually increase to an annual 25 to 30. Pakistan may double the production capacity if PAF wants the replacement of existing inventory on rapid and enhanced time table.

    Pakistan is also hoping that 50% of the electronics and fuselage will be locally produced in Pakistan.
