Chinese "AWACS killers" to concrete Pakistan's defense

[Barrett808]

Brussels, October 20(Online): Confirming China's acquiescence to support Pakistan in dealing with the strategic challenge posed by Indo-Israel military collaboration, reliable European defence experts have claimed that Chinese "AWACS Killers" would concrete Pakistan's defense reciprocally.

FT-2000 commonly known as "AWACS Killers", surface to air missile (SAM), designed by Chinese experts are considered to be the most appropriate option, if the USA refuses to provide the same kind of "AWACS" to Pakistan which are being sold to India by Israel under the approval of Washington. "Pakistan is also considering a project to produce FT-2000 "AWACS Killers" type of missiles, indigenously", claimed an expert requesting anonymity.

Pakistan and China are equally concerned over the India-Israel Phalcon deal concluded with Washington's acquiescence and are of the view that the transfer of AWACS technology to India would challenge the delicate conventional military equilibrium in South Asia, disturbing the no win situation which guarantees peace in the region.

"High level consultations between Beijing and Islamabad on the Indo-Israel Phalcon deal are in progress as both Pakistan and China, through diplomatic channels, have conveyed to the international community that they would counter the Indian move of acquiring Israeli Phalcon Radar System", a European defence expert monitoring the AWACS related developments told.

The Administration is nuts!

By giving India an upper hand over Pakistan they will most certainly escalate the arms race between the two countries. The region, and by inference, the world, will become more dangerous, not safer.
