Interesting, Pakistani AF to buy both F-16 and J-10

Pakistan has been dealing with the United States for quite some time. Since the 50's Korean War if I remember correctly. Unfortunately for the PAF, whenever Pakistan was involved in war it was the nation most affected by US inspired sanctions which nearly always crippled and limited the effectiveness of the PAF's equipment. So we see that after the '65 and ''71 war, Pakistan starting shifting away from solely US equipment and began diversifying by procuring aircraft from France and China as well. Though the desire for US equipment(which, lets face it, tends to be more advanced than any competitor country) always made Pakistan come back, the final nail was hammered in the 90's when after the Soviets left Afghanistan, the Americans again placed Pakistan under sanctions(Pressler, Brownback etc...) The positive outcome of all these sanctions is that it has made the armed forces, government and even people of Pakistan aware & more careful in their dealings with the Americans and other foreign companies vis-a-vis military contracts. Also, it has made the nation somewhat resilient and ingenious when it comes to servicing and maintaining equipment(Aircraft) in proper flyable condition despite lack of spare's from Key manufacturers. A whole sub-industry is now developing and growing as a result! :roll:
