pakistan stopped buying military equpment from USA totally

[AHMED85]

Custom made solution for Afghanistan
Cleansing of entire country from problematic elements
A scorched earth policy for IoK

So you are trying to say that US make custom & Taliban should obey it.

USA it self want downtown from Afghanistan.

Afghani criminals are available on rent, give them money, drug & womens & utilize them.

So for LOK Pakistan need permanent solution like boundary bar, because there is no other permanent solution existing.

As per my experience in terrorism, you can watch there are thousands of inland Muslim criminals existing who regularly doing theft, blag etc in every city of Pakistan so how can you expect that US can control such mega criminals.

ISI have power in Afghanistan because they have good experience against Russia.

So we don't need to upset our personal relationship for the sake of criminals Afghani mafia.

its been now 3 years and 4 months Pakistan have never ordered any military equipment from USA . i fact our last three orders were not delivered or canceled .
Feb. 12, 2016 f-16 block52 8 units canceled
Apr 6, 2015 AH1Z vipers halted
Oct 30, 2014 cutter for navy - canceled


our last major arms deal was with us Sep 19, 2014 MAARPs which was delivered . so technically we are not getting nor ordering US made weapons since sep-2014 . its almost 5 years without US made weapons deals . how you people see our forces future . remember we are still major non NATO ally on papers .

personally i think we did right in last 5 years and we should avoid US made weapons in future too . US weapons are drug for a country . USA spy - black mail- ban - and stop spares and services at the time of need . we are looking other countries like china - Russia - turkey - Sweden - Italy- even Holland Brazil these days and things working well .

Pakistan have ordered or received below arms in last 5 years. so far my point of view we can filful our needs without sucking USA .
