Wouldn’t this make India a severe over match for Pakistan?
Should we sell the paks F-35s to keep balance?
Would the U.S. be more forgiving with the tech transfer if we get to look at the T-50?
Discuss, what impact will this have on the Sub continent?
a few points,
> India is already a overmatch for pakistan,
> when was the last time you sold anything worth more than a couple of million $ to pakistan ? mid 80’s ? the correct question would be “Should we donate the paks F-35s(worth upwards of 100 million) to keep balance?”
even then it is doubtful you can ‘keep balance’, since as of now there is no balance in the first place.
You are looking at a black-hole for resources if you try to ‘keep balance’ by donating to pakistan.
> most unlikely US will get a look at the PAKFA/FGFA even if F-35 is on the table.
> there has been no indication from India that it is interested in the F-35, certainly none from the IAF. there has been a rumour that IN might be interested but that is, again, a rumour unless confirmed.
> nor has there been any indication from the US govt that F-35 will indeed be cleared for sale to India. LM can say whatever it wants, they don’t make the decision.
> impact on Indian sub-continent, none.
