Antony to highlight US military aid to Pak

SMC,when it comes to defending your points and accusation e.g. proof of India's involvement with TTP you go froma great game being played here to the arguement that it is classified so beyond the knowledge or acumen of a normal civilian.

But in this case what do you expect.
The French external affairs minister to come on record and say we are delaying the Avionics deal with Pakistan because of Indian Diplomacy.
:hitwall::hitwall:

This is within knowledge of yours.

This is posted on the Air force forum:

In the latest Air Forces Monthly edition (July 2010), Alan Warnes quoted the PAF saying that the French deal is still active. In fact, the PAF said that the French government is supporting the deal, and that the reports quoting "unnamed sources" are false. You can ask fatman to pick up the edition of AFM and confirm my claim:

Reports in late March that the French Government was refusing to allow the sale of a Thales avionics system was denied by the CAS: "I saw the report quoting unnamed sources or any French Government official. I have had discussions with the French Government officials who have assured me that this is not the position of their Government. I think someone is trying to cause mischief - to put pressure on France not to supply us with the avionics we want." (p54 AFM July 2010)

In early April it was reported that the French Government would not supply the Thales avionics to the PAF for the JF-17; however, the Chief of Air Staff, Air Chief Marshal Rao Qamar Suleman, told AFM in mid-April that the French procurement agency, the Direction Generale l'Armament (DGA), had assured him that the delivery would go ahead.

The same is more or less true for the other things you mentioned.
