Islamabad: The US would start supplying 75 modern F-16 warplanes to Pakistan from next year, Online News Friday quoted Defence Minister Rao Sikandar Iqbal as saying.

“The supply of F-16s, equipped with modern defence and war mechanism, would start from 2006 after the US Congress endorses the deal on it”, he told reporters after meeting Richard H. Trice, senior vice president of Lockhead Martin Corporation – the US F-16 manufacturing company, here.

The US barred the sale of F-16s to Pakistan in 1990, expressing deep concerns over its nuclear weapons development programme.

He said Pakistan would receive seven or eight F-16 fighter planes each year.

The minister said the US was alive to the defence and military needs of Pakistan and was extending every possible support and cooperation in its war against terrorism.

Trice said the US Congress was currently considering the deal for the supply of F-16s to Pakistan and would soon endorse it.

Beside F-16s, the US would also offer C-130 and P3C Orion warplanes and modern radar system, he said
