IMHO, PAF only made one mistake on Feb 27th, they didn't invite Leon Panetta to PAF HQ. Should have invited him and thrown a nice Brunch in his honor and then announced as to how he enjoyed the Brunch while PAF bi.ch slapped the IAF.

I don't think he said 200 are there, other member(s) added what #s are currently in service, what he said are potentially inbound and they ( other members ) came up with the tally of under 200 when all said and done in the future.

/Chuckle, this is not a frat boy's date with a hot chick, this is for the first time US is having to deal with a Country's PM whose previous masters use to accept terms with a smile ( either elbows on the table or just simple bent over. ) In the past US dictated term and Pak accepted, what is...
Per Australians the M-IIIs were only good for Spares and that is what they thought PAF wanted them for. They were slightly bewildered when PAF / PAC was able to salvage quite a few of them and put them in operations.
Don't fret, US lap is big enough for both Pakistan and India and there be still lots of space left for others if needed.
Concert Bunkers ? may i ask who will be singing there ? / lighter note, no pun intended.
PS: "Concrete Bunkers," you meant.
