'US shouldn't sell nuclear armed version of F-16 to Pakistan': Republican leader

'US shouldn't sell nuclear armed version of F-16 to Pakistan'

I hope they stop selling us weapons and cut ties.

 

[Indika]

Exactly...that's what I was thinking and by the way Pakistan achieved the capability to use the nukes with airplanes before the ballistic missiles....But they will keep exploiting us, India and Pakistan. Lets make peace and cancel all weapons deals.

Yes they are just making fools out of both india & pakistan. Here there are sweet talking (bullshitting ?) india saying no f-16 will be sold to pakistan as if they care about india's security. They are more interested in peddling more expensive crap. This is just start of discussion saying we can sell better stuff than f-16 like f22. An inducement and a threat (if you dont buy).

 

[GR!FF!N]

Don't want to spoil the party..

but some insight.

Not every F-16 is "Certified to carry out Nuclear strike".But it is been rumoured that Pakistan allegedly modified F-16As of 9 and 11 squadrons to carry out this role.

Though according to Pakistan,they doesn't have this capability...

I wouldn't surprise if USA really pushed them hard to abandon whatever they tried.

meanwhile India operates Mirage-2000 and SU-30 as nuclear capable aircraft.But I don't think Mirage is modified to carry out this role.Only SFC operated?(if they operate any) SU-30 perhaps got such modification.

I don't think F22 is up for sale...the max they offer is F-35 much inferior to F22 and to even many older generations

 

[RIP Pak LAW]

More than the Pakistanis, US is trolling Indians here since we will have these F16's and yeah they can drop an atom bomb.

well right now, Pakistan has (80-20) missile vs aircraft ratio for nuke delivery system and it is going to increase in future. F-16 will be for air defence and strike

The US also accuses Pak of modifying harpoon missiles.. By the end of the day.. What you gonna do right.


Meanwhile Pak has modified Mirages,F-16s and JF-17s for nuclear role.. Modifying jets to carry nuclear capable ALCMs like RA'AD.

Ah the typical Indian randi rona. Loving it.

Indian lobby 's hired 2 PR mouths,among others and not worth bothering.

Can't say about Mirage-III or JF-17,but USA has stringent law regarding this.In fact,if I've read properly,possibly Pakistan's F-16 are effectively under USA's control.

Sir @MastanKhan please comment on it.

 

[shaheenmissile]

F-16 can stay in America who cares. We got our own JF-17 and can buy Chinese or Russian jets

 

[Sheikh Rauf]

What els she would say to please indians ..its all about business... they are doing trillion dollar business with china they want to suck in in indian economy ... US have there intrest in Pak and they bully everyone when needed. Nothing new yet.. Pak sud work on its IT industry.. we have half of US population we can do better without US if we sort out our mess and politicians.

 

[AtiF Malang]

When we have daddy and grand pa of F 16 ( Babur and Shaheen ) no worries if F 16 Nuclear powered or Vaidic powered

 

[That Guy]

Seriously US is trolling pakistan. When pakistan already has nuke delivery mechanism how much difference will f-16 make ?

Pakistan never requested it. If anything, the Republicans are trolling Obama. This was meant as a way to try and normalize relations between the two nations, and (just like I predicted) the Republican dominated Senate will try and torpedo this deal, which Obama knew would happen.

With Pakistan fully committing itself to CPEC and pax-China, the US is trying to go into damage control, and make sure it doesn't lose fully in Pakistan, which is set to become the one of the most important economic hubs of the region, and is the most important security hub already.

The US may have a new love for India, but it will not sacrifice its relations with Pakistan. In fact, I believe, even if the Republicans are trying to torpedo this sale, if they cone to power, they'll be doing exactly the same as Obama, and try to repair damages.
