It seems that the underside is damaged. Look at all the propaganda posters covering the underside.

there was a time when we used to think US is a friend of Pakistan, but if u look at the polls speak to the people and talk with the average Pakistanis they will tell you US not a friend, not even a partner but the enemy, US did not do nice things to Pakistan, Pakistan has always helped US and supported it in every way, going all the way back to Nixon visit in 1972 to China, Pakistan played a important role in the defeat of the Soviets in Afghanistan and again we did the same thing in this War on Terror, what did Pakistan get? nothing
Pakistans unhappy relationship with US is reflected in the arms purchases, having always been a recipetiet of American weapons Pakistan is now fully engaged in building its systems on Chinese based systems, a totaly win-win situation for both
Pakistan does not want bad relationship with US, we want good ties, we dont have anything against them but it seems they just never learn from lessons in the past, killing the 24 Pakistani soldiers in the border even although they had the co-ordinates of the mountain check posts proves US is number one enemy of Pakistan
Pakistans patience will soon run out and actully already is running very very thin, if Pakistan turns then I do not know what US will do in Afghanistan

I'll put the following here, since it's the most recent thread were my topic should fit.
Saudi Arabia has now finalized a deal with the US for a lot of new F-15 and the upgrading of older aircraft. It's part of an enormous arms deal agreed in principle last year.

US sells $30bn in F-15 jets to Saudi Arabia
The United States has confirmed the sale of nearly $30bn (£19.5bn) of fighter jets to Saudi Arabia.
The US will send 84 Boeing F-15 jets to its key Middle Eastern ally, and upgrade 70 existing Saudi F-15s.
The agreement is part of a $60bn arms deal covering 10-15 years, approved by the US Congress last year.
The military hardware deal comes at a time when Washington is working to counter the influence of the Saudis' bitter regional rival, Iran.
The sale was formally announced on Thursday from Hawaii, where President Barack Obama is on holiday.
'Strong message'
In Honolulu, White House deputy spokesman Josh Earnest said the deal would support more than 50,000 American jobs at a time of high unemployment.
In Washington, senior state department official Andrew Shapiro said it would send "a strong message to countries in the region that the United States is committed to stability in the Gulf and broader Middle East".
"It will enhance Saudi Arabia's ability to deter and defend against external threats to its sovereignty," he added.
As well as the F-15s, the larger $60bn package includes Apache attack helicopters, Black Hawk helicopters, and a range of missiles, bombs and delivery systems.
The plan initially raised concerns from pro-Israeli members of Congress, but US officials reassured them that Israel's regional military edge would not be undercut by the sale.
The announcement comes in a week when Tehran said it might close the Strait of Hormuz if the country was hit by more sanctions, prompting the US to warn it would not tolerate any disruption of the vital oil route.
Tensions between the Saudis and the Iranians were heightened after the US accused Tehran of plotting to assassinate the Saudi ambassador to Washington earlier this year.
Saudi Arabia, as well as being a main plank of American policy in the Middle East, is also vital to US energy security, ranking as the third-largest source of its oil imports.
