E.D.A (Excess Defense Articles) Analysis.
As a Major Non-Nato Ally (MNNA), Pakistan is eligible to receive U.S. EDA stocks on a as is condition basis. Any upgrades of these EDA stocks are borne by the recipient country through its own sovereign funds or via FMF (Foreign Military Financing) regime offered by the U.S DSCA organization which is operated by the US Department of Defense.
Between 2003 & 2011, nearly 3,813 Grant / Aid items have been offered by the implementing agencies of the United States to the armed forces of Pakistan.
Pakistan Army:
Between 2003 and 2011, the Pakistan Army requested the US Department of the Army for the following EDA stocks,
1. UH-1H Helicopters: a total of 40 light utility helicopters were requested by the Pakistan Army valued at US$ 37 mill. Upon finalization of the request, only 20 of the 40 helicopters were acceptable to the Pakistan Army valued at US$ 18.5 mill. The Department of the Army was authorized to offer the EDA in August 2003 and the EDA was accepted in February 2005. However the delivery never materialized and the EDA was cancelled.
2. AH-1F Helicopters: 40 armed Cobra Helicopters were requested valued at US$ 265 mill. Of the 40 helicopters, 20 examples were to be upgraded and 20 examples were to be used as spares. The EDA was authorized to offer on August 2003 and the EDA was accepted in May 2004 and delivered on February 2005.
3. M113A2 APC’s: up to 500 Armoured Personnel Carriers were requested by the Pakistan Army with a value of US$ 135 mill. The EDA was authorized to offer on June 2010 and the EDA was accepted in September 2011. However due to souring of the relationship between the two countries only 69 examples have so far been delivered.
4. Small Arms Protective Insert (SAPI) Plates: a total of 2,500 such plates valued at US$1.2 mill were delivered on September 2010.
This is the extent of the EDA grants requested by the Pakistan Army and delivered by the US Department of the Army.
PAF & PN Analysis forthcoming.
