The deal cannot be finalized without US approval, which is still pending.

why you think they will public a news without any approval from Uncle Sam ?

That I do not know. I do know that such approvals must follow a prescribed path for approval in DC, which includes open announcements. No one has posted any such information that such approvals have indeed been given.

So a total of 16 of them coming to PAF??

The deal is still pending approval.

special committee on foreign sales?
I wont be surprised if this approval never comes, anti Pakistan sentiments are high among the American legislators

American approvals are made on the basis of serving national interests, never on sentiments.

I agree with the first part of the sentence but I think the choice of the word "never" is too generous. sentiments do play sometimes , I am sure the American legislators have the same human traits like the rest of the people of the world.

Sentiments are shown for the media to display to the people. Decisions in committees are never sentimental, I can assure you.

Pakistan needs to buy air superiority fighter not to buy old F-16

Apparently they have.
@VCheng @orangzaib Possibly one of the quietest deals in history in terms of the US DSCA ???

According to ARY News and Jaag News, 5 of the 13 ex-Jordanian F-16s are reaching Pakistan.
