You live in surreal world if you think the threat of sanctions on F16s does not exist.
You dont undestand geo politics or you have buried your head in the sand.
Pakistan is no longer a usa ally that the americans trust and have confidence with. thanks to OBL raid.
USA is at war with ISLAM according to your own religion. Pakistan is a islamic state
USA india relations are very strong and indians business people are influential in washington
USA INDIA ISRAELI NEXUS. etc etc etc.
WHAT IT MEANS for F16
You buy them but in war with india USA will not rushing in supplies. They will not be sending in thie CBG as in 1971.
USA wil do what they did during KARGIL telling you to cease fire.
THEY have more clout over you guys cause you rely on their money and grant aid.
THEY WILL SQEEZE you harder.
TO STOP and they will deny you spares.
" THIS IS WHY THE MMRCS contestants F18 super hornets with AESA & F16 block 70IN DESPITE BEING CHEAPER by 50% was declined by the indian military"
our planners dont want this risk.
Israel & Russia will gurantee us spares in a indo pak war
China will gurantee you spares in a indo pak war
USA will not gurantee you spares
Just reading your post, I can see you are emotionally challenged or you are on your periods. Pick one. But here's some explanation:
1) You don't understand JACK about the Unites States and its dealings with others. The US is NOT at War with Islam. With the exception of Afghanistan and Iraq in the past, we haven't had any wars with anyone. In fact, with almost al Muslim nations in the middle east and around the middle east, we are friends, have military bases, trade and relationships, etc, etc.
The US constitution, government and the society guarantees MUCH MORE respect, independence and freedom to its Muslim citizens than your Indian government does to your own Muslim minority. And your Muslim minority is about 30 times more than Muslims in the US. But an average Muslim family suffers to even get an apartment for rental in India (you tube Indian Muslims or Christians being persecuted in India, etc and you'll see results)
2) The F-16's: The US considers Pakistan an ally (but with a rocky relationship over decades). That still hasn't stopped the US from supporting common Pakistanis with regards to building schools, medical facilities, setting up energy and other industries, etc, etc (long list of welfare projects with American investments), PLUS, supporting the military with weapons acquisitions, training, helping setup country terrorism force and training, etc,etc.
When the US didn't want to sell the F-16's, it said so to Pakistan. When the US did decide to sell those, it did so with all honesty. Our F-16's are used by like 2 dozen air forces to guard their airspace with total trust on American jets. You think we'll let an old ally like Pakistan down and create bad reputation for one of the best military jets in the history that's our products that protects many countries from their enemies??? Use your head. You have some stuff left in it I think.
The US has an issue with Pakistan not cleaning up the terrorist infrastructure by Afghanistan's border. That the Pakistani military were considering the 'Strategic Depth'. History tells you that the same strategic depth bit Pakistan way more than anyone else, the country's progress had stopped till last year due to bad security situation and daily terrorism.
The US kept telling us this would happen but no one listened.
Now, the Pak military has seen the results of ignoring such a critical issue and it is hitting the terrorists hard, this one issue will be cleared up between the two countries and Pakistan will emerge as a much stronger and modern democracy. The investment has already started to flow into Pakistan from the US businesses.
If you think the US didn't care about Pakistan, you are stupi*d. Pakistan's relations with the US are many decades old and they are like any other relationship filled with challenges. But Pakistan is one of the most strategic ally for decades.
The US is extremely concerned about a nuclear conflict in this region. To save millions of common people, the US will put a boot up anyone's as*s to avoid a nuclear confrontation and that's true for India also. No matter how deep the "strategic relationship" you think may exist with India (In Indian minds, there is none, the US is just a cash cow and you are milking it for as long as India can milk it).
Next: No country should fight wars because of a supportive aircraft carrier. In fact, Pakistan and India wen to wars three times. I hope there won't be a forth one as the industry, trade, growth and population from this region will suffer or majority of it would disappear.
Please keep the grandiose imagination about the US and its dealings with Pakistan out of the topic. The F-16 limitations in your mind and the conspiracy theory are two different subjects and aren't needed in this thread.
