US' Proposed Sale of F-16s to Pakistan Likely to Face Resistance -The New Indian Express

Is it also a pro Pakistan news channel..... then soon the same channel would be declared as ISI agent.... The word is likely to face Resistance as per dreams of India but reality is, it has already left the ground so keep watching...

Its Has to go to Congress for 30 days for Scrutiny First Read the Thread Article itself.US is Democratic Country Not Theocratic

Tell us something that we don't know like India Favors the deal being a good neighbor to washout the Lobbying Tag etc stains... i will be pleased. Stop quoting unnecessarily or until & unless the deal is officially canceled.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 12, 2016 - The State Department has made a determination approving a possible Foreign Military Sale to the Government of Pakistan for F-16 Block 52 Aircraft, equipment, training, and logistics support. The estimated cost is $699.04 million. The Defense Security Cooperation Agency delivered the required certification notifying Congress of this possible sale on February 11, 2016.

The Government of Pakistan has requested a possible sale of:

Major Defense Equipment (MDE):
Eight (8) F-16 Block 52 aircraft (two (2) C and six (6) D models), with the F100-PW-229 increased performance engine
Fourteen (14) Joint Helmet Mounted Cueing Systems (JHMCS)

Non-MDE items included in this request are eight (8) AN/APG-68(V)9 radars, and eight (8) ALQ-211(V)9 Advanced Integrated Defensive Electronic Warfare Suites (AIDEWS). Additionally, this possible sale includes spare and repair parts, support and test equipment, publications and technical documentation, personnel training and training equipment, U.S. Government and contractor engineering, technical and logistics support services, and other related elements of logistical and program support. The estimated cost of MDE is $564.68 million. The total estimated cost is $699.04 million.

This proposed sale contributes to U.S. foreign policy objectives and national security goals by helping to improve the security of a strategic partner in South Asia.

The proposed sale improves Pakistan's capability to meet current and future security threats. These additional F-16 aircraft will facilitate operations in all-weather, non-daylight environments, provide a self-defense/area suppression capability, and enhance Pakistan’s ability to conduct counter-insurgency and counterterrorism operations.

This sale will increase the number of aircraft available to the Pakistan Air Force to sustain operations, meet monthly training requirements, and support transition training for pilots new to the Block-52. Pakistan will have no difficulty absorbing these additional aircraft into its air force.

The proposed sale of this equipment and support will not alter the basic military balance in the region.

Contractors have not been selected to support this proposed sale. There are no known offset agreements proposed in connection with this potential sale.

Implementation of this proposed sale will not require the assignment of any additional U.S. Government or contractor representatives to Pakistan.

There will be no adverse impact on U.S. defense readiness as a result of this proposed sale.

This notice of a potential sale is required by law and does not mean the sale has been concluded.

All questions regarding this proposed Foreign Military Sale should be directed to the State Department's Bureau of Political Military Affairs, Office of Congressional and Public Affairs, pm-cpa@state.gov.

So my guess was right. PAF is going for a larger number of F-16D on this order.

The report is about aircraft, radars AIDEWS. What about more JDAMs, AIM-120s or newer Sidewinders? Arent munitions part of the order?

Let the Indians be cry babies. Its just 8 aircraft. A very small number but I can hear their sobs across oceans!

As for the pakistanis saying "we don't complain to daddy when you buy stuff"; that's coz you can't and no one takes you seriously any more.

Or in simple words Pakistanis don't believe in rona like Bharat mata.

ZEROOOOOHHH.
Don't be disappointed.

Well that is a disappointment. Some should have died. Waste of oxygen.

This news is a premonition of more difficult times to come for Pakistan.America repayed us for our useless fight against the Soviets with the Presler Amendment which restricted military sales to us. This is being repeated. These sales of F16's were around 50% shared by the US. Now they are trying to make us pay completely from our pockets.

US is becoming increasingly aggressive to us and we have to prepare ourselves for the time when the US will abandon us. This will happen and has always happened. US abandons its allies once it gets what it wants. Once the wot is no longer a problem Pakistan will be discarded like it was in the past.

All dhotis are wet today.

humidity?

[airmarshal]

I doubt the U.S will ever sell Pakistan Aim-9X or Aim-120D

better off going for A-Darter and R-Darter from Denel.

PAF does not have access to F-16 source code so they cant integrate non Americans weapons to it.

Save that oxygen, you will need it soon.
Don't you know oxygen is a fuel to fire??

This is nothing but part of US's profit- chaos policy. They tried to sell it to us and then to our enemies.
America, you're a frenemy from whom India will maintain an arm's distance.

When Indians gush about the "new and improved, muscular" foreign policy of India, this is what they mean. The wailing and shrieking of a Dehati Aurat fueled by menstrual rage and frequent #52inchbreast thumping.
