Pakistan never learns from its mistakes. Whenever there's an opening with the US, Pakistan pursues it regardless of consequences. What happened during the 1990s should have been a sobering moment but it seems to have been forgotten.
Many people on PDF are saying "never again," but we know that soon as things get better with US (once Afghanistan gets resolved) the love affair with American arms will be rekindled.
I'm afraid you're incorrect. I really wish you WERE correct, because that really is the best option for Pakistan. India wished it were in that position. But the information age has arrived in Pakistan. even tho Pakistanis are trying hard to roll it back .
With information age come populist rhetoric. populist rhetoric is always extremist. Unfortunately Pakistanis are unprepared mentally and are easily roiled by loud voices of Ummah and evil whatnot. So anyone can easily redirect them.
The only way out of this is military rule, but if that option is exercised the American option is out anyways due to what the current terms are for the "enhanced partnership bill" . So Pakistan has to develop and mature on its own. this might take 2-3 decades. or maybe never.
Strange. I think there were orders from other services for these same type of helicopters. Why send them to boneyard when there are potential customers lined up? These should have been sold to them directly. This looks like fake new.
Boneyard is not a scrapyard which its name seems to imply. yes there is some aircraft there that are indeed scrap, but its mainly a storage facility for excess capacity aircraft and military equipment.
