u.s relationship with us not seems longterm if they withdraw from afghanistan completely they will leave us alone and we will not be important for them but if they maintain presence in the region we can get some benefit

And its better we get as much as we can while things are improving (Diplomatically) between IK & Trump. Who knows if Trump will get re-elected. The next President of the United States may not be so kind to our needs.

As the saying goes: Strike while the iron is hot.

Leave Afghanistan to the Diplomats & leave the F-16's in hands of the capable PAF Falcons.

@Khafee,

I have written so much about this subject on this forum and I had wondered if I had lost it---but looking at what is happening---I realize that I still retain my sanity---.

People have a habit of not liking those who rock the boat. You are a soldier without a uniform, you give it, like it is. Salute to you SIR!

I worry that Pakistan will share AESA tech with China to improve AESA manufacturing capability. Relations with the US will be 100% cut if something like this is exposed.

Nothing of this has happened yet ... Pakistan Air Force is highly professional

I worry about MB coming in and stomping at the Jordanian Royal Palace or whatever - but you don't see me trying to pull trash out of the behind now do you?

Don't worry, PAF has done very well, of proving its credibility with the Blk52+.
The US is very satisfied with the safeguards in place, you should be too.

Still if China offered something like J-20 or J-31 as bait they could do it secretly.

Things do not happen at the drop of a hat, so to speak.

In the west they plan decades in advance, and they prepare for every contingency.

 

[Hakikat ve Hikmet]

The Question is: "Why is the US reaching out to the Pakistan?"

Two reasons:
1) China - Pakistan has slid so far into the Chinese camp, that is now a de facto province. Something which is extremely worrying for the Americans.

The Feb hostilities saw 3 PLAAF squadrons go to standby - in order to assist Pakistan if needed. PLAN sent 4 SSK , and 3 boomers, at least two Type 55 destroyers, other assets were also sent later after the ISI chiefs visit. PLA also went to full war time alert, ready to move in.

This is the main reason why IN choose to sleep out the hostilities.

2) India - I told someone from the west, a year ago, "building India up against China, is like making the village idiot your sheriff"

He laughed it off, but he quietly made a note, scribbled away, while looking at me straight in the eye.

India's incompetence hasn't gone unnoticed, neither has them becoming an economic threat to the US. To contain them, and move Pak away from the Chinese camp, to whatever extent possible. These are the two goals.

The US has a list of some 10~20 companies that are critical to National Security, LM, Boeing Raytheon, Cisco etc. Sensitive data has been steadily flowing to India, China, Russia, Israel, courtesy of Indians. The deep state has realized its folly, AND no president will work against the deep state.

The trade balance being lopsided, doesn't help them either.

As far as people giving all the credit to Afgh for this revert, If any of you remember the Muree talks, it was decided THEN, that should the US exit, Pak will insure that its interests are looked after adequately.

Imran Khan, wants to make a change, a fundamental change in Pak, but decades old rot, bogs him down. He also has the support of the Army. All these things combined, has assured the US that Pakistan can be a useful ally after all.

Last but not the least, Pakistan's oil reserves slightly more than the UK's at 21bn BBL (min) doesn't hurt either. By comparison Oman's Reserves are at 5.3bn BBL (approx).

Once all options are exploited, Pakistan will be exporting 1.2m bpd ~ 1.4m bpd. (this figure is after deducting domestic consumption).

InShaAllah great times ahead

I believe china was allowed access to f 16s to make them capable of carrying nukes.

 

[Ultima Thule]

J-31 is a export oriented fighter jet, and J-20 is not exportable just like F-22 @Philip the Arab

 

[Pakistansdefender]

Wikipedia m8. I probably know every single modern combat jet that is operated today from hours of reading and know missiles, radars, etc.

And I only wanted to know that my Country has good weapons that are effective in long run and help us gain that parity with the enemy . I am may be more into what we are producing locally.
But that's it .
You may be geek there I am not.
Some have interest in this, other have not.

 

[The Accountant]

If Pakistan is given bait like J-31 or J-20 as bait they would probably let them take a look at radar like in 2011 with Bin Laden and the stealth blackhawk.

PAF do not have source code access to F16s so they cant ...

Black hawk was different story as we didnt have any agreement for safety of that equipment
