Yeah, so we gonna cancel our order for 200 F-35's then.

Dudes we cancelled our order for 8 F-16's when the US was not ready to pay half the price itself.

Their aircraft industry don't rely on our orders to exist. Plus with all the toys that we have in our inventory its us who don't afford to lose US, at least not in the short term.

We can do much better than that for threatening US, dumping them as an arms supplier is not the right one.
 
Pakistan's Govt and its feeble and laughable threats!
 
No one is doubting the quality of U.S weapons

Problem is simple, U.S is a pain in the *** and over anything they sell hangs the risk of sanctions, restrictions and many other bull shits

Currently you have yet another grand plan to fix the cluster fcuk that is Afghanistan and are trying to pin the failure of Afghanistan on us

The quality of U.S weapons aside, whats the point of going for something so expensive which carries do much baggage and risk

I expect Pakistan to continue getting some wespons especially ones where we have no alternative or which carry little risk of embargo but over time Pakistan will wean itself of and either build or purchase alternatives
I absolutely doubt the quality of US product nowadays. Given the corporate greed and cutting corners to maximize profit of US corporate. Gone are the days where US product is superior.

That in included military product. Remember the news US defence contractor in order to maximize profit put counterfeit parts in military hardware.

It is a myth that US military product are superior and sophisticated than counterparts. The only thing that keep this myth alive is American self bragging BS media and Hollywood. Many ignorant take the bait and have the wrong perception US military product is still better. Worst, they are overpriced and inferior. They are high priced becos of expensive labour cost and corporate greed and the foolish customer paying the high prices with no merit.
 
Dumping or not dumping. Lets deal with them as a neutral party. We are not with them, neither we are against them. They want to sale us what we need, its ok, if they dont, we must have other venues to explore. We should start behaving like an independent country, or we will be in the same state as now.

You're almost there!!! Interestingly, thanks to my day job, nowadays I find the Chinese folks more careful and concerned about reliability, quality etc....
 
Will pakistan be able to use their f-16's in war if U.S impose sanctions ?
 
Pakistan should reject USA for defence needs. China is a much reliable supplier

Pakistan and America are like couple having relationship born of necessity not out of admiration. Pakistan has been very creative in keeping that necessity alive because of situation on the ground from soviet occupation of Afghanistan and the ensuing chaos and instability that resulted from their exit. Now the ground situation does not warrant that kind of bon homie and it will end to its logical conclusion. Even Pakistani people knew this was coming. Now Pakistan will have to earn others trust and show the world that they stand for peace and prosperity in this region.
 
USA is dumping Pakistan

Nobody dumps USA especially a third world country that needs big nations to look after them financially and militarily.

The f16 is the only near world class equipment in the paf .

The rest obsolete .

Why not even we can get spares from Turkey.

Very good move.

US needs to be punished for their attitude.
But in process Pakistan would become Iran or Cuba but still willingly wants to be one since better then the current state.
