Man everyone seems to think french backed off, no one here actually looks at the fact that Pakistan is extremely cash strapped. The best defence deals Pakistan had are getting scrapped, look at the U-Boat deal. This all shows that the defence sector is broke, we need to put in more cash. Once you do that the french will be more than willing to upgrade the thunders.
Pakistan's economic condition was no better when French entered into this deal. I also don't agree that French have put it on hold under Indian pressure.
I agree with MZUBAIR that it is likely that the deal will back on track in few months. It is up to GOP how they handle this situation. They need to draw a sketch with help from foreign and defense ministries on how to move forward. If handled properly, I don't think it is a big deal under the current environment to get it back on track.
