May be you did not understood what i wrote...Yes you paid for F-16 but they were offered by US as a friendly gesture.....Now please enlighten me with world media where it says that these jets were offered to Pak irrespective of their role in wot....
Comon guys i have clarified so many times about AID part yet the jinx is still there.....
the F??
Lets try last time.
Put it in a way that it should be an unbiased analysis
The thing is US need us and we need them.They need us because the role we played during soviet era they want us to do the same thing but this time against talibans and we need them in order to get sophisticated technology which they possess in order to maintain a balance with India.
If u remember the 80's era u must know that at that time also US offered us their best technology including f-16's and f-18 coz they knew that we were important strategic ally for them and possibly the only ones to help them defeating the soviet union and this time they are playing same cards by offering us their technology
But you need to know that in 80's we bought f-16's with our money and same we are doing today buying these f-16's from our pockets
My friend you try to understand one thing without being biased that US never gave us anything new and sophisticated in aid .The aid they provide us always comprises of outdated stuff which has been used to hell by USAF and USN and they have to anyway retired it and break it down so instead of breaking it down they give that dumb to us and that too not free they give us the airframes free rest of the cost of refurbishing them and their related equipment is beard by Pakistan.The same is the case with Oliver Hazard class frigate the USN had to retire it so they better thought of given that to us in order to please us You can say "Eik teer se do nishanay"
Its because you are indian and news you hear saying that Pakistan is getting this and that free from US is not the case thats only the strategy to give an excuse to your people.I know its still hard for you to believe but i'll never force you because i know its something to do with the hate we have for each other.
And as far as the AID is concerned ,check out some neutral fact sheets you will find there.We have lost more than 40 billion dollar so far on this WOT which is way more than the AID provided by US.This 40 billion dollar is only the direct one excluding the precious lives of our soldiers and civilians we lost and the foreign investment taken out from Pakistan resulted in our economic collapse is as separate loss.
This was not our war in which they have thrown us because whoever they were Taliban or whatever they never harmed us prior to that WOT ,now they are doing so because we stood up against them coz of US.
Sir their are hundred more logics but this forum demands me to be bit precise .Just come out of this Enmity shell ,They day you will, you will see us in whole different situation
