Additional F-16s for Pakistan May Hit Hurdles

[Taimoor Khan]

I sincerely hope that the nuisance on our east actually manage to get this deal blocked. Our dithering on other options available are pissing other suppliers off as we are seen bending backwards to the American F-16s. Putin visit is in doldrums thanks to this American arse licking by our every pillar of state.

‘Lack of substance’ preventing Putin’s visit to Pakistan, says Russian ambassador - Pakistan - DAWN.COM

Also Time.
Time is $$$.
Surplus F16 are cheap and Fast replacement. Later can be given Mid Life Upgrade

This why I think PAF will take up the remaining 10 options on F-16s and then sit tight as used F-16s come on the market and pick them up cheap.

the deal was that we will give you 8 F-16 but you have to ask for 10 more so we can scare India and get them to buy some more crap. we said anything for India

Has all the habitual whining by India stopped the US from supplying the gunships or the 8 F-16s.
The Americans know the Indian psyche well..... just like a baby they give you a dummy to keep quite.
While they tell you the F-16s are meant to be used against terrorists but at the same time they are supplying PAF with cutting technology weapons and systems only meant for modern day air combat.... at the end of the day, our dreams have become your nightmares.

Cutting technology? Really? Americans always give us scaled down equipment did they give us aim 120d ata missiles with 165km range and hobs capability instead they gave us aim120c .americans ll never sell us anything that could give us any superiority over indians ,like the cobras they gave us before didnt have the capability to launch air to air missiles

on top of the 8 F-16s, Pakistan will procure additional 18 new F-16s and 36 F-16s from the secondary market.

18 new f16 from secondry market ?helo good morning
