SUPER! whatever we can get other than US is best for our defence, that is the argument. which was being pushed by a group of pakistan s internal militry think tank, not only, JF-17 , BUT also for training purposes and other hi-tech adventures .

training of special forces and regular forces are equaly important , as jf-17 s hi- tech systems.pakistan army needs better training and pakistan cant afford this training could be delivrd by USA , which is lossing its image in the eyes of common pakistani. and also because of the misstrust which was showen by USA nowadays.

any way that is the biggest target achiving week for pakistan, for the area of defence. we have to accept that musharaf was the biggest modrtor of all time in pakistans defence history, wether any1 like or not?
