Re: Pakistan, Peru to buy South Korean A-37s
The Americans I think wanted to give us F-5 Freedom Fighters during the Afghan war while we kept asking for F-16s which they just didn't want us to have, and when the F-5s were almost finalized ACM Anwar Shamim refused to accept any F-5s and told this bluntly to the US Gens as well as Gen Zia, and so finally F-16s were approved by 1981-2.
