#2 This is typical FMS. The reason for the tight monitoring is largly because the ground crews, at the direction of the generals, will strip and sell the parts off the aircraft. All the parts in the warehouse would be gone is a week without US gatekeepers.

#4 US government has done a security site survey of Pak bases and facilities, drawn up security plans of these sites where the F-16s will be located and it has been put in the deal that Pakistan will comply with the approved security plans.

I wonder if this includes a brief tally of where their nuclear weapons are stored. You know, just in case we have to prevent them from falling into the hands of ~~even worse~~ terrorist organizations.
