[FONT=Verdana]Pakistan has had links with Sri Lanka going back to the early 70s. Recently Sri Lanka stood out on its support for Pakistani membership at the Commonwealth. Pakistani arms have made a difference in the Indian inspired Tamil onslought on the peaceful Buddhists of Sri Lanka. Recently Sri Lanka has made huge progress against the Hindu Tamils who come across the from Tamil Nadu (India). Tamil Nadu also have their own beef with the Indian government and want to be independent from New Delhi.

The Sri Lanka government has purchased Russian planes and also wants to purchase Pakistani JF-17 Thunder planes.

India angry as Lanka turns to Pakistan again

New Delhi has once again expressed serious concern over Sri Lanka’s continued reliance on Pakistan for arms.

The Indian anxiety comes after reports mid last week claimed that Sri Lanka has ordered emergency military supplies from India’s arch rival Pakistan, as hostilities between government forces and LTTE rebels took a turn for the worse.Agency reports claimed that the Army has sought 150,000 rounds of 60mm mortar ammunition and as many hand grenades for immediate delivery to Sri Lanka from Pakistan.

“Sri Lanka has requested US$ 25 million worth of 81mm, 120mm and 130mm mortar ammunition to be delivered within a month,” IANS said, in a news report filed in New Delhi.

The report claimed that the military links between Islamabad and Colombo are worrying India because they allow Pakistan access to Sri Lankan defence and intelligence establishments.

New Delhi mid last year publicly expressed displeasure over Sri Lanka’s military purchases from Pakistan and China.[/FONT]

India is now days getting angry on almost all the happening, Srilankan took good care of Tamils, Paksitan is taking care of the Indian sponsored terrorism, i guess India need to take a chil pil and should stop meddling in others business...







Standing for what you believe in, regardless of the odds against you, and the pressure that tears at your resistance, means courage

So whats the point? Pakistan have no right to have military/social/political relations with other countries? If India cries we are gonna stop?

This is a very much known fact, Tamil's are defeated by Pakistan's help. We will equip Sri Lanka with advance weaponry to use as proxy against India. Same way we use Bangladesh & Myanmar!







I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.

I'm sure Pakistan would have no problems exporting JF-17 variants to Sri Lanka along with other interested friendly nations. The scope extends out to African nations as well. Unlike western technology, Pakistan won't be tying any conditions on its sales to other nations. So it's a win-win situation for all involved parties including Pakistan and China which have jointly produced this 4th gen. fighter.

Pakistan has sold Sri Lanka tanks as well, and i think they have proven their worth in a battle/insurgent environment.

Sri Lankan army should conduct training exercises with Pak fauj, where Pak fauj can be trained in counter insurgency operations.

why are you guys so happy about providing arms to Sri Lanka? If you think Sri Lanka is going to take ONE step against the interests of India, what will stop India from just taking them over? remember unlike Pakistan, they don't have any dirty bombs.

The way geo-politics intertwines with military strategy, it is very highly likely that India is using Sri Lanka as a way to gain Pakistani military secrets including info on weapons, decision cycles, alliances, battle plan methodology etc.

In return, India has, sadly for the Tamils, let Sri Lanka pulverize the LTTE, in spite of stiff opposition from their own state of Tamilnadu.

taking over a soverign country is easier said than done; there are multiple issues that will be raised both internationally, locally, and within India. Disturbance within India will have a multiplying effect on the other tehreeks that are going on in the north east of India and ofcourse occupied Kashmir. India isn't that stupid to just go and take over a country without realizing its reactions.

Actually, Indian forces were helped by the fact that..
East Pakistan was thousands of miles from west Pak, with nothing but enemy territory in between, hence cut off.
India surrounded East Pak on three sides.
And Pak was also to deal with an internal guerilla movement that was aided by India.

So under those circumstances, very difficult to fight any war.

So continue to delude yourself, but East Pakistan was hardly a victory of superior arms, but a victory of circumstance.

We all know how capable your army is in fighting an actual fight.

The Chinese proved it effectively. And Pakistan, being 1/10 the size, was still able to fight you to a standstill
So the all the mighty brown midgets of the east have to soothe their bruised ego is East Pakistan, which wasnt even their victory

And ask Kashmiris how peace loving you are...

Dont be ridiiculous, no one wants to Sri Lanka to do something against India.. The point is of expanding influence
Trying to minimize Indias influence in the region!

LOL... Im sure thats exactly what India is doing, because they are that brilliant...
India, being the unrivaled master of Sri Lanka, has to "allow" the Sri Lankan govt, and give their "blessings" in securing their own nation.

So if we get wicked influence in Lanka; added to our time-tested friendship with China, ISI's hopeful involvement in Assam and the Maoists, Iran being our friendly neighbor, the Pushtuns of Afghan being our blood brothers --> given all that then inshAllah in approx. 20-30 yrs our influnce will suffocate the hindoooooooos.

and then...game on!

Influence is important... India is grave threat to regional security if its influence isnt checked. All of Indias neighbors know it, and all are weary of it.
