US Repeating weapon supply to Pakistan from USA




US Repeating weapon supply to Pakistan


The Americans repeatedly supplying new weapons to the Pakistani's even after heavy pressure from the Indian side. The US president obliterating his expert committee's advice and US State congress advice to not supply more weapon packages to Pakistan. Pakistan is the known country who actively supporting terrorism in Indian Sub Continent.

It's clear from Indian side a good relationship with America only by stopping weapon supply to Pakistan, the country who repeatedly threatening India to an nuclear war, and sending military trained terrorists into India to carry out attacks all along the Line of control and Indo Pakistani border.

The new supply to the Pakistan from US is, nine additional number of modern AH 1Z viper attack helicopters and hand held thermal imagery devices for Pakistani army to improve the situational awareness. Pakistan also plans to start discussing about buying additional F 16 Blk 52 fighters too. These deals are all comes with US subsidiary.

India strongly condemns the US plan of selling F 16 fighter jets to Pakistan, even summoned the US ambassador to India. not only the F 16 fighter jets the US also supplying modern BVR missiles to them. Almost all Pakistani F 16's upgraded and capable to perform precision ground attack missions too.

The Pakistani's approached the French earlier to upgrade the Pakistani Mirage platforms to perform precision ground attack mission. The proposed deal worth of more than $1.6 billion which include Democles targeting pod and modification in the fighter aircraft. India strongly protested the proposed deal. which forced the French to drop the deal. Also French almost suspended almost all kind of military relationship with Pakistan.

India is closely working with the Americans with the interest of building closer military relationship to face the Chinese aggressive posture all along Indian border, from Kashmir to Andaman.  Indian and US military officials continuously visiting US and India respectively to conclude the military agreements like LSA, BECA and CISMOA. even working close on the DTTI program.

India expects a good relationship with the Americans, many of the US congress lawmakers and military leaders too. PACOM commander Adm Harris and US DoD secretary Ash Crater is known military brass who actively support Indian stand against both China and the rough regime Pakistan.

North Korea is the one who threatening the US forces in Korean continent and the American main land with nuclear weapons. The same Pakistan doing against India since decades. even more Pakistan sending military trained terrorists into India to destabilize the peace.

During the Gurdaspur attack, Indian intelligence recovered US made NVD devices from the attackers, which will be used by the Pakistani military or smuggled by Taliban from Afghanistan. India taken the issue to the US, who later redirected the FBI to investigate in the matter. also confirms the Pakistani government involvement in the Gurudaspur attack. same goes to the AFB Pathankot attack. US President Obama still not acknowledged the issue correctly and keep pushing more modern thermal equipment to Pakistan. 

The most pro Indian US military leader PACOM commander openly criticized the US government nod to sell F 16 to Pakistan, Adm Harris said F 16 deal with Pakistan will affects aspects on Indo US ties. Adm Harris also so active about the South China sea issue too. Reports emerged in Media that Adm Harris wants to confront China. White House says not so fast posted in Navy times which was later cleared by the PACOM that there is no such controversy between White house and PACOM.

By looking, Obama itself who supporting the Pakistan with few other democratic backing him. However no other Congressman or Republican want to supply weapons to Pakistan, the only terrorists regime in the Middle east who armed with Nuclear missiles.

Meanwhile one Pakistani analysts criticized Indian moves against the Fighter jet sale to Pakistan, saying India is singed a IGA with France for 36 modern Rafale's, and also looks to buy 200 plus 4++ gen fighter from USA. who saying some ten fighter jets and few attack helicopters can change the military stability of the region.

It's clear the Pakistan tries as much as they can to milk the Americans before the elections, that they know Republicans will not give any such weapons to Pakistan, Since Trump openly says I've a military plan for Pakistan. Trump known as pro Israeli and Pro Indian.

US Plans to supply 8 new F 16 Blk 52 to Pakistan




US Plans to supply 8 new F 16 Blk 52 to Pakistan



     The Obama administration considered the Pakistani proposal of supplying eight brand new F 16 Blk 52 Fighters to the Pakistani Air force in a unknown deal value. The deal was accepted the US president but which is yet to be cleared by the US Congress committee. It's highly unlikely the US congress would block the deal. Since the US Congress has majority of Republican members. The Pakistan Air force already operating some 53 modified F 16  A/B and another 18 F 16 C/D or Blk 52 Fighters. and the new batch of eight F 16 could be the Blk 52 model.

    The US administration is concerned about the possible nuclear proliferation of Pakistani nuclear warheads. The US think tanks suggested that Pakistan may increased their nuke warheads from 90 to 130 in last four years, and they also could overtake the England's nuke numbers by 2025. Since the UK government planning to shrink their nuke warheads into just 220. The US government tries to arm the Pakistan government conventionally to stop working on Nuclear programs.

    Earlier days the US will use their forces to stop others Nuclear programs, However the Democratic US government approaches some other ways to stop others Nuclear programs. One of the good example is the Bill Clinton's  North Korean nuclear deal. which was intended to stop the North Korean weapon grade nukes into civil nukes. However the North Koreans broke the deal and continued towards the weapon grade nuclear works. The same goes for Iran.

Democratic Obama offers billions of dollars and assistance to the civil nuke reactor construction in Iran. However they too working closely to produce nuclear warheads.The deal yet to be sealed. and still on the tables. Iran is also same like North Koreans and just tested a nuclear capable missile which was against the agreement of the Nuke deal.

    Obama administration doing the same mistake in Pakistani nuclear programs by offering more conventional weapons and civil nuke works. The US offered Pakistan as a waiver of assistance to constructing civil nuclear power plants, economically assist to construct dams, and providing more fighter jets and munitions to the Pakistani Armed forces.





     The US wanted to use the Pakistani lands to move over Afghanistan. Pakistan suing the US much money for using Pakistani roads. Pakistan charges some $500 to $2000 per trucks who using Pakistani roads. So the Obama administration also need to impress the Pakistani's by give more weapons and fighter aircraft's.

PAF F 16 Block 52 with CF Tanks
 Coming to the F 16 delivery's, The US government stalled or cancelled more than seventy F 16 A/B fighters and delivered some forty F 16 A/B Fighters early 1990's. Later days all of them upgraded to fire BVR missiles and Harpoon anti shipping missiles. and US delivered 18 brand new F 16 Blk 52 or C/D fighters which is much capable multi role fighters to conduct air to air and surface as well as maritime missions too. US also allowed Jordan to deliver some 13 F 16 A/B fighters to Pakistan. Those are also upgraded into ADF version. which is much suited for air to air missions.

     Recently the US congress funded Think Tank suggested that arming the Pakistan is the bad idea. They might be join the Chinese to attack Indians in case of war. The congress members much concerned about the safety of Pakistani nuclear weapons too. The US tracks the Pakistani's F 16's movements all time. However in early 1990 they modified some F 16 B fighters to carry Nuclear bombs.

     Even if the current deal is signed the Pakistani fleet of F 16 numbers would increased into 78. which include 28 brand new F 16 C/D Blk 52. The Blk 52 is the multi role capable strike aircraft. which can carryout air to ground, air to air and maritime strike missions.

    The current F 16 C/D sale is not a threat to the Indian Fighter's. Since the IAF has equipped with much modern twin engine Su 30 MKI and MiG 29 UPG's. both are primarily built for air to air missions with little air to ground capabilities.

    However in April, The US government approved the possible sale of 15 new AH 1 Z viper attack helicopters along with 1000 Hell fire anti tank missiles along with associated systems for less than a billion dollars.

   All the US delivered systems are always under American watch, India too keep the satellites to track the F 16 fighter and Mirage fleet of PAF along with future AH 1Z. since they can make little damages to Indian Air force and Indian ground units. The Pakistani Mirage fleet and F 16 A/B can carry nuclear gravity bombs. Just like how the IAF Jaguar assigned for nuclear strike roles.





   Anyway, the proposed civil nuclear deal and Fighter jet acquisition deal yet to be approved by the US congress. and It's possible that US congress may block the proposed deal.
