While I agree with the gist of your post, can I say that officially there is no ban on sales to PAF, provided it foots the bill. However, if we are requiring Bl72s we will have to go through Congress and I think technically there are risks of it not getting approved or sanctioned half way through. I think that prospect and the fact that PAF feels it wants to release its held back CSF by acquiring US hardware with it (which has no become a pipe dream unless Pakistan gets embroiled in another US misadventure) is what is holding things back. I think this is what the official picture is reading international news.But regardless who manufactures certain parts or even engines for LM, it remains still a US system and as such if the US ban it from exoirt to Pakistan from the US, why should they allow an export via Turkey, Poland or whomever?
My worthless contribution for the day.
