The Pakistani delegation this time, did just that. There was growing animosity inside out of the US congress and inside the lawmakers head, add the Indian lobby's constant bitching and moaning......it was becoming a freak show against Pakistan. Plus, Pakistan doesn't have strong enough lobby to even come close to India. So, what they really needed was, to simmer down the anxiety and do the "sweet talk" of friendship. That is what happened. The Pak PM even met with the senators over many big chairs, he was also the first visiting guest to be taken to the Pentagon as a visiting dignitary. That itself is huge!!!
Have you ever seen Modi or Singh visit the Pentagon? There was a clear purpose behind all this. This was to show case Pakistan's allied status strategically and militarily. While, with India, the US enjoys trillions dollars worth of a trade relation. So totally different type of a situation.
But the bottom line is, the anxiety and tension getting built and turning into fumes since Mushy's times, has finally calmed down. For some reason Pakistani people want aggressive, in your face bullies as their leader, or the "way to talk to". The best results come from a good care salesman who doesn't get aggressive and offended, and still hits the results nicely. Watch how some big trade, textile, investment deals will unfold worth billions. That is what Pakistan needed right now, someone to calm all the angry hot shiit in US lawmakers heads, then setting the stone for trade and investments, and then, set the tone for future military deals, all under a sweet and nice "friends for 70 years anthem". This has become popular in Washington and like by many in power houses. It erased a LOT of tension which was MUCH needed as the Indian lobby's been doing serious propaganda for years now. Good diplomacy means calm people on both ends, and good stuff coming for Pakistan.
Then why did you ask the question about if Block 60 was better than the Gripen?? (if you already knew the answer)? Since you know so much about block 60, tell me about how its DRFM differs from all previous ones
?
may be with SABR which is a Northrop Grumman product but still until the details are classified we keep our fingers cross and that may be a Blk 60. But I think as these are 8 in quantity so I don't think so those would be from a nu blk or it would be another nightmare to handle an all new machine
although from the same breed but still altogether a new architecture and systems.
