I really hope PAF didn't operate f16 but thats not the case. F16 has no chance whatever Obama does but yeah F18 can make it.

F-18 is also a good news for India & Pakistan.
As long as India does not buy EF2000 or Rafale, that is a good news for India & Pakistan.

Good to see the news has been published. I will not mind if Rafale or F-18IN is being chosen but Eurofighter is the best choice and it should win.

Are you blind or a kid? Have you learned this just today? We knew this from early time of history. Thats why we say India's relation with any country is on the basis of 'give and take'.
