Hi,
Thank you for your post---but what can be said----pakistanis believe that the world is after them---whole of pakistan is paranoid---they are paranoid of leaves moving by the wind as if itwas a conspiracy---. But thank you for your post---.
People don't understand that the u s defence industry is an independant business entity that does not take any dictation from the u s government----.
That is why is has been brought up---instead of the u s govt---if paf had signed a contract directly with Lockheed Martin / GD / with the approval of the u s govt---there would be no sanctions on pakistan in the 90's.
No fighter aircraft company would want its name tarnished by planting kill switches----if you can do it to John---then you will do it to Mohammad and Hari Ram as well and businesses of the defence industry are not run like that---.
could that be the fear that india did not pick a u s fighter aircraft.
Isn't it mandatory that for all weapons exports from USA, the corporation cannot sell directly to other nations/entities, but the fact that US Government/ DoD becomes the customer first, gets the delivery, and then ships off to the receiving nation.
Like PAF F-16s were delived to US Airforce units, which were then passed on to PAF........same with upgradation of P3 Orions, the US government took them, and the company worked for USA government which in turn was acting like a broker on Pakistan Navy's behalf.
Please correct me if am wrong.
