Its very cheap at 28.85 million dollar . when compare to untested JF-17 At 25 million
Under a separate agreement signed in April 2005 between Turkey and the US, 213 Turkish F-16s are being upgraded at a cost of $1.1 billion at the Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI) in Ankara. Turkey will be able to change the software source codes of the weapons systems on a total of 204 F-16s with national software source codes if a final agreement is reached with the US.
that untested weapons system will launch standoff weapons and would be capable of air refuelingIts very cheap at 28.85 million dollar . when compare to untested JF-17 At 25 million
What is being missed in your bugs and secure lines of code is elephant in the room.. WHERE is the DSCA notification?The older systems were indeed more secure. "New and Improved" is not always better.

The sale cannot go through unless congress approves it.. is that not correct??

In either case, it has to be announced.. does it not?Either Congressional approval, or a Presidential waiver.
Thats is the thing.. When Pakistan had to give Bangladesh T-37 trainers.. it had to get congressional approval. Here we have AH-1s and F-16s going without much ado.Was there one for the recent AH-1 procurement through Jordan?

That would be a direct violation of US laws and therefore unlikely.
Significantly, the US has acceded to persistent Pak request for AMRAAM air-to-air missiles, sidewinder missiles and M-270 multiple launch rocket systems which fall in the category of weapons which are banned from being supplied to Pakistan by any European country or the US. In order to effect the supply of AMRAAM advanced air to air missiles, the US has worked a mechanism for handing over significant numbers of these missiles to Pakistan and Jordan even though they do not fit any counter-terrorism role. The modus operandi would be to do the paper work in a manner that they indicate sale of these weapons to Jordan (or Jordan being shown as the user country) while the missiles would be supplied to Pakistan. Likewise, the latest version of sidewinder air to air missiles (AIM9X), while not falling into the category of anti-terror weapon would be declared as meant for Jordan while it would actually be supplied to the PAF. The M270 multiple launch rocket system, around 150 of which are presently deployed in Afghanistan, would form part of the inventory of supplies to Pakistan through Jordan.

This whole via Jordan tranfer process seems to be designed to make very little splash
Well, the news item referred to by @VCheng seems to be fine with the F-16s but has little on the AH-1s as they are fairly long term Jordanian assets.This whole via Jordan tranfer process seems to be designed to make very little splash
