Lindsay Graham is one of those Republicans who seems to have a difficult time dealing with Trump.

Not sure how much of a role he'll have during IK's visit to the US.

People here should remember the saying in Urdu, khiyal-e-Palao maat pakao.
Given the AIM-120D has only been exported to a handful of countries (UK and Australia) and not even to the countries that are buying new or upgrading F-16s to Block 70. At best, and that is already a stretch, we might get the updates to go from C5 to C7 version of the AMRAAM.
Besides, Pakistan does not have the ancillary assets or platforms to truly take advantage of all AIM-120D capabilities, such as satellite assisted navigation, two-way datalink or other networked targeting capabilities.

You have to note one important factor "Combat proven" there is a good chance that AIM-120D will get combat proven in hands of PAF then any other country and military hardware sells more once its combat proven.

Americans don't need Pakistan or anyone else for that matter, to prove their weapons in combat. They do it very well and quite often on their own.

Seeing Trump administration attitude they will force Pak buy new jetts if Pak wants used one and upgrade beacuse LM had more profit in new planes economics

If they forced to buy few more new jet is not bad considering you opt for buying 36~ new jet but latter bought 18 so you can get another 18 brand new block 52+ and upgrade existing jet to block 70 standard . so future structure might be 76 upgraded block 70 and 18 block 52+ . in addition to this buying old jet from existing customer who are switching to F-35 is also possible if you can satisfy US .

Why not? I think the Pakistani military has done quite well with the F16. The fact that the Indian establishment were whining about the F16 speaks volumes. Also it is never good to put all you eggs in one basket.

Everyone has a difficult time dealing with Trump. Lindsay Graham speaks his mind, and to some extent Trump respects that. Respects gets your voice heard in the halls of power. In fact, Lindsay Graham was with Pence at the southern border today, which goes to show how close Lindsay Graham is with the top leadership. These are two senior republicans and part of the establishment. Trump needs them to reassure the donors for the 2020 election. Graham may not be there at the meeting, but as part of the establishment, their interests will have to be taken into consideration.

A Large Arms deal for South Carolina based F-16 Plant, The missiles are made in a plant in Tucson Arizona, and suppliers for all the various sub-systems are spread throughout the country. SLEP: service life extension program for the used F-16s would be done in Ogden Utah if I'm not mistaken. So there is a lot of work that can be spread among Republican States. These used birds are worth the money because according to the following article; service life can potentially be safely extended up to 15,000 hours.

Hi,

After all the contract signing and deals being done---there is no guarantee that the aircraft will be delivered to Pakistan.

Because they can be held back on the whim of any congressman or senator---.
