pakistan stopped buying military equpment from USA totally

[Basel]

these cuts will not for weapons purchase and repairs they will not build new buildings not increase salaries and many admin expenses will be stopped but not operational one sir .


i have another opinion sir . what you think if we never buy f-16 in 1982 then we have no other front line fighter today ? we will sure have some other decent platform and i am sure PAF will do the same with that one too . f-16 is not end of world nor amraams . its just usage of machine .even poor country like uganda mayanmar have decent fron line fighters .

If Pakistan have not purchased F-16s in 80s then most probably M2Ks would have been our front line fighter now and may be French have sold Rafale during Mush time.

if one door close another opened sir

Russians were offering us in 90s so french too china rises in early 2000s too . results of the 27 will be same ether we have f-16 or not .

 

[VCheng]

even paid deals are not worth to be sign

how about f-16 deal we paid and then never got them even today ? its not issue of payment its trust .USA is not trustworthy anyway ether you pay it or not pay it . we paid for p3c orians and then we have grounded them because of no spare parts .

Trust is a two-way street Sir. Do you recall what Pakistan did that denied it the F-16s back then?

 

[Avicenna]

You are mistaken. The US Pakistan relationship is truly over. Just like you blow a candle.

The world is a million shades of gray.

Don't be so absolute in your viewpoint.

 

[MastanKhan]

Above all there is the fact whatever US may or may not approve as FMS to Pakistan, they will sell better and more to India.
All we get is restrictions and sanctions so fcuk America.


Technological gap is narrowing between the US and the rest of the world, specially China. India has US and Israel on her side, those are the most competitive technological powerhouses at the moment. Either we like it or not that leaves us with China and Russia as our main suppliers.

Hi,

It is not---. The top end US weapons are totally out of this world---.

Actually the difference has never been so much lop sided in favor of the US ever before as it is now---.

Let @gambit disagrees with me---.

we were producing nukes which USA produced and even used on japan poor innocent public . so our crime of producing nukes was not bigger then USA nuking japan . they blocked our jets because we were making nukes while they were helping israel to make nukes or lets say UK ?

Hi,

French were begging to sell the Rafale---. No one was buying the Rafale---. The french were afraid that their fighter aircraft production will stop and that industry would end---.

Pakistan had the first shot at it---but the Paf refused it---saying it is nt a 'tested' platform---.

Well, if Pakistan was producing nukes just like USA, then it is only fair to expect it to produce F-16s or similar for itself too. Nobody is stopping it from ding so. In fact, with the JF-17, Pakistan does not need F-16s anyway, so there is no problem at all.

My comment applied to the dates mentioned in your OP. You dragged up the past history prior to that, not me.

so you mean to say we forget all the history ? wow good point sir .

 

[Trango Towers]

There are many more competitive suppliers in this multi polar world than the US or Russia. Imho Pakistan must stay away from any purchases from US in near future and focus more on China, Russia, Turkey and EU

Why are we buying ATGM still?

 

[VCheng]

so you mean to say we forget all the history ? wow good point sir .

I mean to say you change the dates as suits your argument. History is not to be forgotten by both sides. Where OBL was killed defeats the embargoed F-16s any day.
