Pakistan received the last six of a batch of 18 F-16s ordered from the United States on December 13th.

Pakistan had signed a contract with the US administration in 2006 for 18 F-16 C/D block 52 aircraft.

The arrival of the six jets marked the delivery of all 18 planes by the US, the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) said.

The jets flew into Shahbaz airbase in Jacobabad city in southern Sindh province, after a stop over at Lajes Field, Azores.

The F-16 C/D Block 52 jets are equipped with a sophisticated avionics suite and latest weapons with night precision attack capability. The jets were acquired by the PAF as part of its bid to modernise and enhance its air defence capabilities

Sheltering, financing, training, and supplying the jihadis that want to kill us. Aid? ~Maybe. Weapons? No.

The Saudis are doing that and they are shareholders, major joint venture partners in all 6 American TV networks which own the majority of TV channels. Wonder why you hear all that religion of peace s**T. I dumped TV a year ago. Fox is no better with Prince Al Waleed who is the largest investor in Fox, 2nd in Disney/ABC, a major one in TW/CNN and GE aka MBC, CNBC, MSNBC.

Saudis - financing the murder of American troops helped by idiots watching TV and ball games.

Your point is well taken... but :), only if Saudi Arabia and Pakistan are considered to be of equal importance. They are not. Do you have a preference? I propose this before giving you a more thorough response. BTW, no TV here either.
