Instead of transferring man-slaughter machines and creating new demons/mercenaries like so-called mujahiden or Talibaans, (now terrorists), foreign exchange should have been spent on social and economic projects. Pakistan does not need these arms and spend heavy foreign exchange further plunging its local population particularly poor provinces like Sindh and Baluchistan into darkness. This amount should have been spent on job creation, education and healthcare. When our leadership would learn this?
Where these killing machines will be used? I am sure neither India nor China. The only targets would be own people or other Muslim or third world poor countries….

What do you expect us to do? The Indians have us out gunned 5 to 1. We cant afford to drop our guard.. I agree we should spend more education and jobs, but not at the expense of our nations defense.

Don’t you think USA would arm India 15 times more than it would arm Pakistan? Where is the balance? You are crazy if you think Pakistan will get Kashmir through war in future. When moral of people is at the lowest ebb, do you think these man-killing machines would make the difference!!
Unless people of Pakistan would not stand up such stupid and illogical decisions taken by few mostly in their own personal interests, the future of Pakistan is definitely doomed.
Spock,
I have written a lot about 1965 war. That war should not have been stopped after 17 days. The result should have been either Kashmir or no Pakistan. The winning war converted into total loss when Ayub Khan signed unilateral ceasefire. Result: Breakup of Pakistan in 1971 and humiliation for Pakistanis...Perhaps this humiliation would continue till the Day of Judgement.
The US plans to sell four more radar systems to India on top of an order for eight earlier this year in what was the biggest arms deal between the countries in four decades.
**Counter battery radar
The radar can pinpoint the location of mortars, artillery and rocket launchers from a distance of about 300 kilometres, after tracking a shell for only a few seconds, and direct return fire. **
The Defense Department notified Congress on Wednesday that India had requested four more “Firefinder” AN/TPQ-37 counter-battery radar units plus support equipment.
After the initial deal in April, the Pentagon said the sale would not affect the military balance with Pakistan, which deploys the AN/TPQ-36, an earlier version of the Firefinder radar.

The Pentagon agency said the proposed sale “will contribute to the foreign policy and national security of the US by helping to improve the security of a friendly country which has been, and continues to be, an important force for political stability and economic progress in South Asia.”
Congress has 30 days to reject the arms deal but no proposal by the Defence Department for a foreign sale has ever been barred.
Last Friday, the US Army placed the order for the original eight radar units with Thales-Raytheon Systems, a joint venture of France’s Thales and Raytheon of the US.
A company spokeswoman said they were destined for India.
