US Approves Possible Sale Of F-16 Equipment To Pakistan: Pentagon

[Trango Towers]

Because you don't have a voice.. all you have are the bones Americans throw at you and the retirement homes and golf club memberships Americans have promised you.
Didn't Pakistan use dance theatrics and lies to cover the fact that it was an F16 that shot down a Mig-21? Why do you think Pak had to do that? Hello... ? Why did US demand an explanation from Pakistan why an F16 was used 'inappropriately' ('without American approval' and 'against the terms on which F16s were sold to Pakistan').

If you had a brain and love for Pakistan, then you have a voice. It's sad to see you boasting the high-quality American leash on your neck held on by the Americans. YET, you're paying the Americans to wash, wax, shine so you could look good to your poor compatriots.

You are dancing like someone has paid u..

Since only u love Pakistan are an expert why don't you do something instead of talking shit here.

Put up or shut up.

F16 saga is coming to an end.

Look at their product line. They produce very simple ones. It has none of the complex ICs that the US military has in its systems.

Yeah you just need find a reason somehow you are right and I am wrong
Or perhaps the hatred for Russia is too much.
Doesn't matter how much employees , the thing is they are enough for domestic production.
Stop arguing with me with this kind of bias.

Good Lord, forget about people being for or against the US F-16 for a minute...

Look at the number of articles coming out of India for a few million dollars worth of spares.

Sheesh, they're acting as if we've placed an order for F-35's & getting a few used F-22's too.

Their Exterior Minister & that Minister of Defense (Skelators off breed) are now knocking on every door to make certain that this Sale does not go through.

We don’t have enough money to replace F-16’s right now.
F-16’s don’t have termination switches.
Sukhoi and it’s derivatives have their disadvantages and it wouldn’t be wise replacing F-16’s with such a maintenance nightmare aircraft.
China SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO CONTROL GWADAR. Our sovereignty is NOT for sale.
We should have a balanced relationship with the world.
No concessions can be made on sovereignty or our interests.
F-16’s especially blk 52’s will be flying for a long long time.

China is not asking Pakistan to trade its land for goods. Yet the talks of upholding Pak's sovereignty and independence are dreams when your leadership have retirement homes in Texas and California and they are ready to bend over for the Americans. That's the saga of F16s.. Pak people's sweat and toil money for the exchange of the few's retirement homes and account balances in America.

Perhaps I've done more for the Pakistan people? You still can't answer my questions why and what the F16s are for Pakistan. Loser.

Because their ministers use the opportunities to fatten their wallets. Look F16s in Pakistan are for display only -- if not for shooting at China and Iran. India knows it.

 

[Metal 0-1]

You bought a very expensive weapon and that weapon is limited to shooting birds and not self defending. Do you think Pakistan is a super wealthy nation that could afford such luxury

In all out war, who gives a shit?

Your sovereignty is definitely for sale. You are selling it to the Americans as we speak.

LOL at balanced relationship. That got you very far. Look at your economic state which speaks volume. Despite selling yourself to the Americans there has been no economic respite for the Pakistani state. Even during natural calamity the response from your American friends has been pathetic to say the least.

Your F-16s are prone to American blackmail. You will obey every American order. That includes overhrowing governments. Only then will you be able to maintain and fly American F-16s.

Yeah, until Pakistan's existence is endangered, keep up the waxing of the planes. In another thought, why doesn't Pakistan buy more JF17-III and perhaps another two advanced radar support planes? With the AESA and PL10 and PL15, JF17-III can easily take out any F16 without a 'V' designation.

US ignores ‘strong’ Indian objections over Pakistan’s F-16 package​

• State Dept notifies Congress about Pakistan's F-16 programme.
• Ned Price says Pakistan important counterterrorism partner.
• India "protested" over proposed sale of F-16 parts to Pakistan.

WASHINGTON: The Biden administration has ignored the “strong objections” raised by India over the proposed foreign military sale of $450 million to Pakistan to sustain the Pakistan Air Force’s F-16 programme and notified Congress in this regard.
Last week, the US Defence Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA) delivered the required certification of this possible sale, angering India who raised the matter during meetings with US official Donald Lu in New Delhi, according to a report by The Hindu.
The publication stated that the Indian Ministry of External Affairs “protested” against the sale of spares of the jet to Pakistan despite the DSCA’s clarification that “the proposed sale does not include any new capabilities, weapons, or munitions” and it “will not alter the basic military balance in the region”.
While responding to a question in this regard, US State Department Spokesperson Ned Price said, “well, we did recently notify Congress of a proposed foreign military sale valued at $450 million for maintenance and sustainment services for the Pakistani Air Force’s F-16 programme.”
The US official stressed that Pakistan is an important partner in a number of regards and an important counterterrorism partner.
“And as part of our longstanding policy, we provide life cycle maintenance and sustainment packages for US-origin platforms,” he said.
“Pakistan’s F-16 programme, it's an important part of the broader US-Pakistan bilateral relationship, and this proposed sale will sustain Pakistan’s capability to meet current and future counterterrorism threats by maintaining the F-16 fleet. This is a fleet that allows Pakistan to support counterterrorism operations, and we expect Pakistan will take sustained action against all terrorist groups.”

Flood devastation​

When asked to comment on the devastation caused by the floods, Price said, “we are deeply saddened by the devastation and by the loss of life throughout Pakistan that these historic floods have caused. We stand with the people of Pakistan at this difficult time”.
He said that as of September 12, a total of nine US Central Command flights delivered more than half of the 630 metric tons of relief supplies from USAID’s Dubai warehouse for the response to these massive floods.
“In total, CENTCOM will airlift more than 41,000 kitchen sets, 1,500 rolls of plastic sheeting, tens of thousands of plastic tarps, 8,700 shelter fixing kits — all in support of USAID’s flood relief.”
In this fiscal year alone, we’ve provided more than $53 million in humanitarian assistance, including urgently needed support for food, nutrition, multipurpose cash, safe drinking water, nutrition, sanitation and hygiene, as well as shelter assistance. We’re going to continue to work very closely with our Pakistani partners to continue to assess the damage that has been wrought by these floods, and we’ll continue to provide assistance to our partners in this time of need.”

‘Concerned by significant restrictions on media’​

Price, in response to a question regarding media restriction in the country, said that the US continues to be concerned by significant restrictions on media outlets and civil society in Pakistan and raises its concerns about press freedom to all stakeholders around the world, including Pakistan.
“We’re concerned that media and content restrictions, as well as a lack of accountability for attacks against journalists, undermine the exercise of freedom of expression, peaceful assembly and association. A free press and informed citizenry we believe are key to democratic societies around the world, key to our democratic future. That applies equally to Pakistan as it does to other countries around the world.”

Maybe Pakistanis like to be leashed by the Americans? As unlikely and insulting as this statement, it's true with using F16s.

The Pakistani military certainly does.

No, India is playing along to make Pakistan feeling good about being chained up. 'You see, it's a beautiful American-made leash'.

Thanks for your rant.
When you have facts and a valid argument against F-16’s and why we should retire them you can @me.

Thanks for your rant.

If you think F-16s are such choice, Why did PAF get J-10Cs and JF-17s instead.

 

[Sayfullah]

If you think F-16s are such choice, Why did PAF get J-10Cs and JF-17s instead.

Cuz blk 72’s weren’t available.
JF-17 is lightweight fighter.
And J-10C and JF-17 are excellent 4.5 gen aircraft I’m happy PAF got J-10C but I’m also in support of maintaining and upgrading F-16’s because they are still very potent and will remain that way for a while.
There’s no need to ground F-16’s when we have much inferior aircraft still flying.
J-10C, F-16 and JF-17 all have their own roles in PAF and can work together.
We don’t need to have an only Chinese aircraft airforce or only American aircraft airforce. Get the best of both worlds so you’ll always maintain your edge.
The difference between me and you is I’m saying, good job we’re maintaining F-16’s as their still relevant. Your saying, retire or ground F-16’s replace them with J-10C.
That’s the difference.
