I never get why Pakistan just don't go for American products. If F-16 is on the table, what isn't on the table.

Expensive yes, but no wait time, and highly effective.

I would certainly go American if given the choice.

Its not about Chinese products or American products. Its about us having great faith in China and its historic support for us in the time of need.

Z-20 is good for high altitude such Tibet plateau, we can create a massive high altitude rapid assault troopers near Indian border and provide logistic support to India's front soldiers.

You mean Chinese troops rightright

Since the US has gotten so close to India, the Pak Military's priorities are changing. They want to diversify their product portfolio. In case of -16's, there is not really a 1:1 alternative from the Chinese, so they are using American products where necessary. Everything else, they are preferring from elsewhere.
Being expensive is a huge factor too. Inside Pak Military's circle, they'd like to use cost prohibitive products and become independent of spare / sanction issues. So China meets both the strategic needs.

No To much reliance on US will do us no good,that's why Apaches are being bought in such low numbers
Our main Attack help fleet will consist of Homegrown Choppers & we have Russian Mi-17s for that role

Doesn't Apache cost like 65 million dollars a piece? Even a low number is beyond anything I can ever dream to afford!
