India left "disappointed" as US goes ahead with F-16 sale to Pakistan.

[Bilal Khan 777]

We know that Pakistan will get their hands on those F-16's....But we have to do what we have to do...Propaganda

A colossal failure to indian lobbying and big money spent on buying statements from US Senators, some even alleging Pakistanis are using the F16 to kill their own people...Congratulations to PK for completing the second squadron of Blk 52 at Jacobabad.

India also licked the boots of US to stop these 8 F-16 but failed right

How embarrassing it is for diplomats and what a big waste of PR funds?

 

[Bilal Khan 777]

Even our older F-16s after going through their MLU programme are now equipped with JHMCS.

JHCMS hardly adds any value to PAF F16s. It is day only (no NVC). If you wear NVGs on the JHMCS, it restricts flight performance to much lower than the envelope. There is no TVC weapon such as 9X integrated with PAF Blk52/MLUs. However, IF PAF opts for a real NVC integrated HMDS for JF17, they may enter a different world.

Not at all....If India were not to react, it would have made a fool of itself. India knows that 8 F16 are going to Pakistan. In future US will remember India's 'disappointment' with the present deal and will be circumspect with its future defense deal with Pakistan.

Supa Puwa India also summons US ambassador to protest this sale.

someone on Dawn news said that in order to maintain its image India will have to buy 3 times the number of jets because it is alarmed by 8 jets, this is a country that is the biggest importer of arms from across the globe and now it is cursing Pakistan and America in official print, electronic media , social media , diplomatically and officially.

clever ploy by the AMERICANS now they will get to sell 10 times more weapons to Indians and make billions.
on side note I wonder if Indians will demand their money back from Hussain Haqqani or those Republican law makers?
they might have some luck with senators but Haqqani is known to even keep the cup if you give him a cup of tea.

I think Chinese must pay him about 10 or 15 dollars more and he will tell the world how petty and unreliable Indians are. his words are a gospel for Indians anyway it will be interesting to see if they remain the same.

India has been reacting this way for last 10 years. Did any defense deal got circumspect-ed? Idiots and mature nations doesnt react this way. As someone already said. Did USA reacted this way when UK and China signed many deals which USA opposed ? Now you spoken, Not only you have made a fool of yourself, but you have become hypocrite and made your whining bitch in commoners eye

In the future Obama will be gone, so India has to start over with the new Democratic administration, and worse if the Republicans come, they usually support your neighbour, so maybe this is a precursor to what is supposed to come. In public realm, Pakistan does not play the cry baby when India buy Chinooks, Apaches, P8s, Rafales, M777, Scorpenes, and a whole load of weapons that are pakistan centric and for a war on its Western border. is this because Pakis aren't cry babies?

I believe US - Pakistan defense ties are not what they used to be....and India's 'disappointments' did played a great role.

By most forums, you mean those indian origins and rednecks and geopolitics illiterates who doesnt have an iota of Idea about USA negotiating directly with Taliban these days, The murree peace deals, USA not targeting Haqqani group. etc etc just like the indian government, World is filled with emotional fools and idiots.

 

[Kao Boy]

Innocent Indians...will definitely cry after reading this News....

Bro.. I really don't know if you really follow and study the US policy of balancing a region... It is coming when India is about to secure deal of Rafeals from France which is obviously superior then F-16 which you got as gist earlier before Osama was assassinated to track and counter any potential Air Strike on Marines by the PAF. The deal states to ask US before using the F-16 which would have alarmed the Americans of the possible attack...

Now the current situation.. US has already sidelined Pakistan long ago and will only act either as gesture of goodwill or military alliance to balance the Air and Military prowess of any country in the region...

Its Matter of Months For the Regime Change in US. Republicans will Have there own view Obama Administration Disappoints its Own Public Leave India out of that

You may continue to believe whatever you like to believe. The ground realities indicate otherwise. Perhaps its time you should waste some money to Russian lobbies as well so to scuttle Russian defense deals with Pakistan

You can show disappointment over US sales to India, but India being one of the largest arm buyers in the world and one of the largest economies in the world in which US has huge interests, the effects will be minute.

Compare Economy of two countries you will Know It.India Buys Because India Can Afford Weapons with its Own Hard Cash
India Spend Less Percent of its GDP on Arms than Pakistan that's its Self is An Example
