With the ongoing conflict in Central Asia and the current US administration’s shift in policy towards Pakistan, do you think Pakistan will finally get the F-16’s that were paid for and embargoed in the early ’90’s? Granted the F-16’s are outdated and have been in open storage in the Arizona desert for some time with more engine running time than flying time. But, in light of the current policy change, the PAF will benefit from the block 15’s and 20’s rather than placing an order for block 60’s which will take some time to deliver, thus placing them at risk for getting embargoed yet again.
