Still stuck in the 7th century, and using 7th century warfare methods and tactics. How comforting. Pakistan has nukes. Iran is trying to acquire same. If Pakistan's government is toppled or falls into Islamic hands, they won't use 7th Century warfare and weaponry.

We must keep a wary eye on Pakistan. Pakistan has nukes, missiles with a range 4 times those of Iran and Korea, is home to Osama bin Laden, hosts the most al-Qaeda training camps, has by CIA estimates between 10,000 and 50,000 militant al-Qaeda jihadists, is involved with the longest lasting current militarized border dispute (with India), and has regained its eminence as the number one trafficker of illegal opium drugs, the profits of which finance both the Taliban resurgence in Afghanistan and al-Qaeda schools and training camps. The recent peace pact, last week, between the Pakistani government and Pakistani tribal warlords protecting Osama bin Laden and al-Qaeda is very disturbing.
Our history of propping up dictators in Islamic nations has always come back to haunt us, and there is no reason to believe our alliance with Pakistan will offer anything different.

What is being built for them by the Russians is the ability to mass manufacture them. While they may have nukes, they will still prefer to use terrorism instead of frontal assault, using 7th century warfare in a modern world. The age or size of the toys does not make the tactics change much at all. They still are 7th century Barbarians, and are using fear to govern and conquer in the exact same pattern that they have been using for 1400 years.
