U.S. Upgrades Pakistan’s F-16s , India Goes Into Panic!

[atmi_bum]

I don't trust anything from Urdu Diary; I consider it a propaganda outlet.

There's no panic except among the talking heads. This deal was announced almost one year ago; if there was any panic, people have long since accepted it.

If there's panic in India, it's over the arrival of J-35 fifth-generation fighters, even though India is nowhere close to acquiring one.

No, it's not cute at all. This is how both sides play the game. A weapons sale is made, and the other side complains about it, making statements about an arms race in South Asia and how it disturbs the balance of power. It's SOP for both sides.

India is not the only one that panics:

Show me Pakistan complaining about any sale to India, just one example/

We do not care.

There Indian DM is with Hegseth, highest level of mil to mil engagement and only a shirt time to cover stuff like China, joint R&D, Quad, military sales, Russia, Iran, joint training etc.

What does he say?

"But Pakistan saar!"

Hegseth and his team must have been pissing themselves afterwards

I didn't say anything since I was panicking.

 

[Yasser76]

I didn't say anything since I was panicking.

You dont need to, your DM is already doing that for you

Tragically no mention of the F-16 issue by Hegseth or Singh on their statements afterwards, so guess the crying did not help.

Oh well, the next Indian tantrum is just round the corner, am sure you will also express "Serious concerns" saar, if the US supplies a spare C-130 tyre or something.....

This is routine now. India is going to sound alarms over sales and so will we if the US keeps selling them Apaches, Poseidon and Seahawks.

We could order a bucket of paint from Lockheed Martin and they'd send a strongly worded letter condemning it.

Trump was told by Modi that India is a future superpower and can counterbalance China.

After Pakistan shot down 7 jet fighters, Trump was laughing at Indias incompetence and realised that India is not a major player at all.

Thus trump lost all respect for India and as a result never considers the feelings of indians when making decisions

No, we dont sound any alarm at any sales. India does.

Exactly, Indians living in their bubble have no idea just badly perceptions of them were effected by May 2025.

I had Brit workmates who know nothing about the situation in the office going on about "Hardcore Pakistan air force" the day after.

Okay, so I will grant that India doesn't have to be in a 'panic' because of Pakistan's F-16s upgrades; worried maybe. But India's large economy, landmass, and considerable military power shields India a lot.
But your quoted post is dated: Pakistanis no longer worry about Indian arms acquisitions. Why? Because in last decade, Indian stupid foreign policy has really alienated China to the point that Pakistan is able to even borrow what it needs against India. Thank you, PM Modi! The Dumbest leader of India wrt to foreign policy.

The idiot is using a general statement about any arms sales we made at the frickin UN and comparing it to their Defence Ministers complaining to the US on specific weapons sales on a regular basis. Comparing Apples and Pears, standard stuff for them....
