Keep dreaming, after the delivery of 8 we will order the remaining 10, US deliberately doing this to lower the B.H level of Pakistan's neighbor.
Like I said before, India would protest if US sold Pakistan a butter knife. So whether US sells Pakistab 8 or 10 or 18 F-16s doesn't make a bit of difference as far as India is concerned, the response will be the same.
No. This all comes down to the only thing that matters: money. And it's clear Pakistan doesn't have much.
These LMwalas and SAABwalas, have opened their offices here, they need to show to their bosses in their respective nations that they are doing some work, so they pay some " Tom d1ck Harry " new paper to print anything.
Its not about options, its about requirements . At present only French and Russians fulfill them. So you can guess where new orders will be placed.
Don't loose sleep or even think about F16 in India, its like saying USA will gift George Washington to Chinese Navy.
On the topic, is it about 8+2=10 or original order of 18 which was not exercised ?
Stop loathing them. They have less funds , yes. BUT THEY ARE USING IT 5000 TIMES better than us.
Its taking us forever even to decide Yes or No , on C295Ws.
India defence procurement process is painful. Needs to be streamlined.
