Indo-Pak row over F-16 fighters

[ravee2k2]

In a reaction that is bound to raise the hackles in Islamabad, one of the US makers of F-16 fighter jets, Lockheed Martin Aeronautics has made an open attempt to mollify India after concerns were raised by New Delhi.

Over the F-16 deal with Pakistan, Lockheed Martin has told TIMES NOW that New Delhi's concerns are unwarranted because the F-16s being provided to India are far superior to the ones being given to Pakistan.

Speaking to TIMES NOW, Orville Prins, Vice President, Business Development-India, Lockheed Martin Aeronautics said India has no need for concern. The super viper for India is the most advanced version of the F16s and that it meets and exceeds all of India's Medium Multi Role Combat Aircraft requirements.

The assurance from the US makers comes after a similar one was given by the US Ambasador to India, Timothy Romer.

India's concerns

It is reported that earlier this year when the Indian foreign secretary was in Washington there were concerns raised. Pakistan F-16 with laser-guided bomb kits besides other sophisticated equipment will give Pakistan an edge over India.

Also, that armed drones like 'Predators' asked by Pakistan will be used against India and will change equations in the region.

Companies in the race

What also raises concerns for the US makers is that there are six companies in the bidding for the F-16 from Lockheed Martin (US), Boeings F-18 SH (US), Eurofighter from a European consortium, the Rafale from France, the Swedish Gripen, and Russian Mig-35.
