Large parts of the U.S. aid (see chart) have been made up of military assistance assistance many analysts have argued is used mainly to develop its capacities to fight a war with India. For example, the report states, of the some $2.1 billion in Foreign Military Financing provided to Pakistan from FY2002-FY2010, more than half has been used by Islamabad to purchase weapons of limited use in the context of counter-terrorism.
Pakistan has used the aid to purchase equipment that could be used in a war against India among them, eight P-3C Orion maritime patrol aircraft valued at $747 million; six AN/TPS-77 surveillance radar used to locate artillery positions, worth $100 million; 6,312 anti-armour missiles worth another $100 million; and the USS McInerney, a missile frigate, which has received an $65 million refurbishment.
In addition, the aid has part-funded 60 midlife kits for Pakistans F-16A/B combat jets, accounting for $477 million of the $891-million cost.
