pakistan stopped buying military equpment from USA totally

[Zulfiqar]

Congratulations nooras and jiyalas.

We are reducing our defense budget even though FX rate is deteriorating thanks to your mismanagement.

With ever increasing threat on western border and coming volatility in AFG, we are going to have some tough years.

Anyone who wants to order from America should be done for treason.
Why buy weapons with so many strings attached?

Our last use of F-16s & AMRAAMs against India clears there was absolutely no string were attached & there is no killer type switch either on these machines
And actually we won due to those F-16s.. Its loud & clear

i have another opinion sir . what you think if we never buy f-16 in 1982 then we have no other front line fighter today ? we will sure have some other decent platform and i am sure PAF will do the same with that one too . f-16 is not end of world nor amraams . its just usage of machine .even poor country like uganda mayanmar have decent fron line fighters .

 

[Army research]

not only china sir but turkey and EU also blessing too . for example
spada-2000
AW-139
AS350
AUGOSA-90S
AND so many great weapons we have from west too . i think Pakistan did it right now we have 10 countries supplying weapons rather then 2-3 in past .


forget them cutters are dead and cobras will come when we no need them like f-16s after 15 years .

Altocan as well

 

[TOPGUN]

which order sir ?


i think USA is not relible partner just look last three orders were important for us which they stopped canceled . airforce 8 f-16s army choppers and navy cutters so they make mess with our three branches sir . USA is good as long its they need you .

I agree Imran bro but you never know with our Armed forces is what I meant I sure hope they stay in the path to stay away and not go back is what I meant simply.

The long game is setting up to be between China and the US in the future.

Pakistan, along with many other countries are just pawns.

Like stocks, in the short term this relationship between the US and Pakistan may rise and fall.

But look at the long term trend to see where the US Pakistan relationship is going.

You are mistaken. The US Pakistan relationship is truly over. Just like you blow a candle.

The 2 Indian jets were shot down by the JF17's or am I missing something?

We didn't bro. PAF has clearly conveyed that no F-16 was used. Only JF-17 fighters were used to down Indian fighters.

You should notice how torn apart the Indians and US were in finding the right propaganda narrative after PAF had carried out the 27th.

The Americans will never provide any capability that might undermine their little puppy India.

Pakistan made the absolutely best decision to diversify. LOL the IMF through the US is begging for Pakistan to reveal all China related defence projects.

india joined USA recently but USA backstabbing us since 1965 man . it was our third fault . thankfully this time we are prepared diplomatically and militarily too . we have only few choppers issue . last time we were sucked up in 77 f-16s deal .we can have any other chopper its very easy in fact we got few .

america is an old friend with special relations but under trump,i don't see any future of this relation.i think it's good to buy weapons from other countries.

America was never our friend, it just wasnt our enemy in the different phases in the past because of conjoined interests but even in the past whenever those interests subsided the US turned hostile towards Pakistan, trump or no trump this time the hostility is permanent as the world is now clearly defined into 2 blocs and with CPEC and other strategic interests in the region, we are firmly in the Chinese Bloc. America is a state hostile to Pakistan.

The only lesson to learn here is that there are no friends in the international arena, just common interests. We should see the Chinese with the same spectacles and not expect or act with any 'Himalaya se aunchi dosti' BS.
