Interesting way to fix the trade imbalance
The US is considering supplying F-16's to both India and Pakistan. The most likely use of these aircraft will be against each other, so it should be an interesting field trial.
Quote:
His statement Saturday came a day after U.S. officials announced the sale of F-16 jet fighters to Pakistan and signaled that India could move ahead with its own weapon buys. The two nuclear-armed neighbor countries have been rivals for decades, and have fought three wars since their independence from Britain in 1947.
India expressed "great disappointment" over the U.S. decision to sell fighter aircraft to Pakistan, and said doing so would tilt the military balance in the region and could harm India-Pakistan peace talks that began last year.

There is nothing sweeter for an arms supplier than to sell to two historical enemies in an arms buildup.
