The MiG-21 & Jaguar's are on their final frontier. There was that story about them picking up (19) MiG-29's which had been stored since the 80's. I think they got 'em cheap, but yet to be delivered.
Tejas is too late for IAF, IAF wants complete product by HAL, that's why Tejas project is too late unlike to our JF-17 project and IAF/IN still not fully satisfied on their Tejas , that's why IAF/IN want to improve the form of MK-1A/MK-2 @Trailer23
yes you're right lets wait and see but its not totally fake news, the OP is the professional member here on PDF, might be he had a some insider information @Śakra
And as usual Indian Trollers decide to show up...looking for a reason to get Banned.
Rich coming from our neighborhood. Even though, none certified the OP and most agreed to wait for confirmation. How does it became a fake news when it is based upon personal Intel and opinion?
I understand but this could be a ploy to get India to buy
The USA badly needs Afganistan’s Lithium deposits for the EV batteries and the rare earth metals for the semiconductor industry!!! No ifs and buts - it’s imperative. Especially, during the trade war with China rare earth materials significance came to forefront!!! The US policymakers are ready to go to any length to ensure their steady supply and not letting them fall into the “wrong” hands!!! In the present scenario the Taliban under Pak is the most viable option!!! The rest are all details....
Trump visit to Pak will be after deal is signed.i Beleive F16s r known to every one we will see what package will be finalized along other Goodies I believe it would be big one more cobras. CSF money along some money by Govt of Pak will go purchase I won't be surprised if we get PAC 3 along M1A1 tank offer final tally will be above 10 billions my two cents only PAF new and used Airframes along current fleet upgrades will be 6 to 7 billion. Navy wants swift covertts along MPA Jett powered P8 Army wants Max pro we need them badly to minimize human loss at western borders may come from EDA. Lets see fingers crossed
Arey bhai, just a bit of humor. I do respect and like MK.
Loans, No. But yes FMS as quid pro quo to facilitate a peaceful US withdrawal from afg with a modicum of victory. If Pindi has done their homework well they should get these free.
Too much u listed here bro...unlikely to happen. Let's just hope this F16 block 70 thing happens. At least the PAF will be up to par to tackle all challenges until NGF is operational. As for PA idk what's the hold up on Al-Khalid II...it's been in development for quite a while. PA needs Al-Khalid II in numbers to phase out some of the older tanks and as for PN...they did go on a shopping spree recently but still they need more IMO to keep up with IN.
He meant line of credit US should offer US if it's 5 billion that would be wonderful. You know line of credit works its revolving credit given by Bank a certain amount So we can use that line of credit to purchase and pay it back in instalments and Bank takes interest on it but we can reuse it again so basically Bank gave us money and we use it again and again
When door opens it opens whole not a bit American attitude towards Gen Bajwa at pentagon and pompe met khan at Pak embassy shows where we stands I also assure u once it finalized it will pass in congress too.
And then what? So what if the door is open? Where is Pak going to get the money to purchase all this? Let alone all the things u listed, Pak doesn't even have the full money to outright pay for the block 70 upgrades. If it isn't subsidized or given on line of credit...even this wouldn't materialize. So after this happens...it doesn't matter if the door remains open...there would be no funds to purchase other stuff and Americans aren't about to bank roll everything on Pak's wishlist.
