- 7 years ago
Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar on Wednesday expressed concern over arms sale to Pakistan, ahead of his meeting with visiting US Defence Secretary Ashton Carter. The U.S. has given military hardware, including F-16 fighter planes, to Pakistan amounting to a whopping $ 5.4 billion since the 9/11 terror attacks, according to a latest Congressional report. Sale of F-16 combat aircraft and related equipment account for nearly half of this.
