House might be OK with Pakistan, but the Senate is still full of the same old guys who gave us trouble re the 8 F-16s.

True to an extent, but do keep in mind the personal chemistry between IK & Lindsey Graham who is a major republican figure in the senate. A deal supported by Trump and Lindsey Graham will sail through the senate. But things will change after November when the republicans are slated to lose some seats. So the window is fast closing for Pakistan. A republican leadership at the senate and White House has historically been very favorable prospects for Pakistan.

IMO we'll have a better chance with the Democrats. Things have changed. The Democrats of today aren't the same ilk of before. IK's softer tone is also helpful (doesn't hurt that we're on our 3rd democratic term with a different PM and governing party). Sure, the undertones are still around (e.g., the military's influence, tension with the media, etc) but definitely not as bad as earlier years. The key for us is less to do with the PAF (which will ask till kingdom come), but our lack of diplomatic competence.

If Bernie wins then yes but if Biden wins then there could be the trouble

@airomerix @Hodor @khanasifm

It is like a short service commission for engineers.

These cadets have already acquired an engineering degree from a university and they enroll for 1 year at Risalpur for military training.

What does this means?

Short service means they will not go PMA or PAF Risalpur they will go different school used to at Mangla for Army not sure about PAF Navy used to be karsaz karachi plus usually they won't go above Major rank bottom line short service means fill the ranks quick.

It will be better to use military career section and question thread.

Is PAF looking to acquire L-39NG, like in numbers similar to 20 to 40?
