I dont think this left out budget will be utilized for anything further, rather for block 3, azm, naval ongoing programs and maybe something for army.
And not until we have any credibility of this report from Pakistan itself ( which we never will ), it’s purely stupid of us to over exaggerate the figures and work on it
Let us see how this cookie crumbles. The US has a long time policy of sitting on money it does not own and acting the bully. I dont think it is going to give up now. Secondly it seems prudent to keep Paklands down and out and therefore dependent on aid from the world so it can be dictated to and plays out as the pawn it has been assigned the role of. Why do you think would they change things by handing out a significant amount of money even if to buy US products?
My friend.
Sir with due respect but I need to correct some historical fact...Yes China coined the option for Pakistan to join hands but two super power Russia and U.S warned us especially Russia that if we do any adventure than it would be Russia versus Pakistan....Do you think we were in that position at that time we ignore two superpowers?
In 1962? Are u sure?
Yes...
Wasn't Pakistan a part of SEATO/CENTO then? To call in the Americans and British in case the Reds attacked? If what you are saying is true then Pakistan definitely played her cards poorly
Do you read my post?....read again
The Chinese had no plans invade India. Pakistan had already incurred the wrath of the Russians due to the U2 incident 2 years earlier. Like I said if what you are saying is true we played our cards poorly
DRFM using AIDEW pod ALQ-211 on 18 Block 52+ only.
F-15E is faster, has more range, can carry heavier payload than F-18 SH however F-15E cannot carry AGM-65 which F-16 and F-18 C/E can.
As far as I know, Almost all versions of the Maverick are compatible with the A-10, F-16 and F-15E.
F-16 carries AGM-65, no worries for PAF.
Aren't DA 20s going to retire soon?
If you are talking about 62, read Qudratullah Shahab. He stated that Ayub had no desire to move himself rather he relied on the US solving KAshmir for us. Listening to someone on the same topic, there was a lot of mistrust between China and Pakistan in the early 60 as well. Russia may have bullied us but I think if Russia had steped in we had a good chance US would have steppedin as well.My own assessment is theat the Super powers use smaller countries as pawns to put in front of them and wage their wars. Whereever there has been warapart from Syria where Russia actually moved in Russia has had a history of backing out at the last moment.We eventually faced them in Afghanistan and so facing them earlier would have been the same.
