Pakistan seeks missiles, radar from France: Report
PARIS, Sept 13 (AP) - Pakistan is seeking to buy missiles and radar from France for a fighter plane that it is developing jointly with China, Jane’s Defense Weekly said Pakistan is talking to France about getting air-to-air missiles from the MBDA company and radars from Thales for its JF-17 fighter, it said.
Those missiles and similar radars also equip Taiwan’s French-built Mirage fighters, defences that could be compromised if Pakistan transfers the technology to China, according to Jane’s. Asked Thursday about the report, Defence Minister Herve Morin replied: “To my knowledge, there is no arms embargo for Pakistan.” He noted that France has a system of controls on arms exports and referred further questions to the prime minister’s office.
Without confirming that talks with Pakistan are under way, Defence Ministry spokesman Laurent Teisseire said: “We have no reason not to cooperate with Pakistan on its leading projects.” He dismissed concerns of any possible technology leak to China, citing arms control measures that would be part of any such sale.(Posted @ 20:25 PST)
