lol Russian supplied engines to FC-1 and they will fade out as strategic ally.
what about US, Europe which openly sell and donate so much equipment to Pakistan.
I am saying not right now but in the medium-long term future our interests will not be convergent with that of Russia and will be more in line with that of the United States.
i
have told about French fighters during 65 war.
Do you think 1965 is not serious war?
US imposed embargo on both India & Pakistan during the war. Pakistan suffered but luckily India didn’t as most of its equipment was from British and France.
forget about French, take the case of British which is lot closer ally to United States, we have purchased tons of military equipment post-indendepence from them and never faced problems.
Lets say that the French. British and Russians supported us during wartime because none of their interests were at stake. This was at a time when India despite the NAM non-sense was allied to the Soviet Union and America to Pakistan, now it is the Pakistanis not us who should feel bad about American embargo on them because they were U.S allies while we were arguably in the enemy’s camp as far as they are concerned. During the Sino Indian war U.S gave us transport and other support and was willing to offer more if we so wished, while Russia was a spectator. I am saying when it comes to war countries act according to their interests at the time and not according to any ‘friendship’ policies which are rather hollow in international politics unless you have a written agreement or membership in an organization like the NATO. Its not something new if you look at history (how poland was pledged support by the allies in WW2 and left to German will) (the fate of the Soviet-Nazi non aggression pact, etc.)
