Sweden not selling offensive weapons has nothing to do with human rights and everything to do with $$ and perception. Pakistan is percieved to be a wild card nation, unpredictable and in some cases obstinate like Turkey is. But more than that, there is a strong financial motivation not to sell offensive weapons. 1)Indian cash flow to their government in terms of lobbying and likely expat contributions to swedish political causes. 2) they worry if they sell to Pakistan that India wont buy their wares.
They dont care about issues of democracy, nukes, or human rights. They hace offered weapons in the past and if Gripen isn't selected for the IAF airforce tendor, they may do so again if PAF has the need and money. @Bilal Khan (Quwa) @Bilal Khan 777, @MastanKhan or @Oscar please correct me if im wrong but i have read that Sweden had in the 70s/80s offered the Jas 37 Viggen to PAF but US Blocked the export, same happened in 1994 when the Jas 39 Gripen A/B were offered.
