India cautions US against F-16 supply to Pakistan
2004-12-09
NEW DELHI — India yesterday asserted it would take steps to bolster the country's defence preparedness if the US went ahead with the proposed supply of F-16 jet fighters to Pakistan. "We have cautioned the US against such a decision," external affairs minister K. Natwar Singh said while concluding a debate in the Lok Sabha on the foreign policy of the UPA government. "I would like to assure members that in case of US arms supply to Pakistan, the government will not hesitate to take steps to ensure that our defence preparedness is not compromised in any way," he said.
Relax guys, we control the spare parts and the training.
Not to mention the remote controls embedded in the flight control software.....er, don't mention that, ok?

#1  What's the problem? Didn't these guys manage to best U.S. pilots in simulated combat? And don't they have a number of Russian up-to-date hardware?

These guys don't sound very confident.
