F-16 deal expires amid Pakistan-US row over finances

[dadeechi]

F-16s are very capable fighters hence India would like to deny them to Pakistan and procure them for themselves instead.

Stop moaning and cough up the remaing 400 $ millions and get over with it. India isn't stopping you from asking China or IMF or World Bank for soft loaning the bill . India isn't responsible if you are piss poor .

What's wrong with F-18s ??

Why wrong with F-18s ??

RAFALEs would cover that requirement. Also, India needs to engage LM. Boeing is already very well engaged on multiple deals.

So, even in such an extreme situation where you dont care about US and their sanctions, even at that point of time you will go and wait at chinese door and ask them to reverse engineer... if you've said that you would've reverse engineered, i would've thought something better... pathetic process of thought man... this all weather friend bs wont work all the time and it is because of such attitude, Pakistan is in the mess it is today.... relying solely on US and now have to dance for their tunes.

I said that we should only do that in case of sanctions. Yes we did made a huge mistake of solely relying on US but what I said was that if US put sanctions on Pakistan then this would be used as a threat or even applying it if we have no choice. More importantly US isn't stupid enough to put sanctions on Pakistan because they don't want us to move completely away from them. China's scenario is much different than US especially after CPEC.

India wasn't able to do squat about it, nor have they been able to do so in the past. There have been serious grumblings about this aid issue in Congress for quite a while now. It has just come to the burner now. You can't expect another nation to fund your weapon purchases, without severe strings attached.

J-10 still have Engine Problems
Su-35 is not Coming anytime soon
JH-7B Well don't know about that

invest in Air defence systems Long and Medium Range Sams

PAF is a Defensive force not offensive one it's better to make your defence strong

 

[dadeechi]

If that happened then we will give China full access to our F-16 block 52 and with this they are going reverse engineer F-16 block 52 and the best thing to reverse engineer is its engine then you will see JF-17 with Chinese F100-PW-229. As far as the spare parts are concern after China will reverse engineer it then they can also build its spare parts.

Reverse engineering the engine is not same as reverse engineering the fuselage.

India has been building Russian engines for long yet very far away from build one from scratch.

But you are right; there are vindictive people around.

and that is the reason the article OP has posted was whining all the way on Indian lobbying right ? and so many threads in PDF and articles in dawn claiming India sabotaged F-16 sale.. ?? why was that then ?

China already made their F-16/J-10.They're going for 5th gen.Dunno how much info F-16 holds that still Chinese doesn't know(Atleast they brag something likewise).
