I think not. With the tension between India and Pakistan I can't see a stealth strike aircraft making India very happy.

I agree. Musharraf had to pry those Vipers out of our hands as it was. I don't see F-35's in the region at all, too much of a destabilizing force.

There aint no way, too much technology and too much of a war fighting edge over India. They would be screaming bloody murder if we sold them to Pakistan.

With the US possibly supplying new aircraft to India, not a chance. What about F-35s to India AND Pakistan in about 20 years when the technology is less secretive???

The relationship between Pakistan and Mainland China is almost as good as the relationship between USA and UK. If USA sells F-35 to Pakistan, then the possibility that Mainland China gets the secret of F-35 may be near 100%.

I have NEVER heard of any discussions regarding this, nor do I personally forsee this happening for the stated reasons.

Pakistan is comparable to Saudia Arabia and the UAE in terms of shady regimes, SA got Eagles, UAE got blk 60 Vipers. I have seen what kind of Eagle the Saudi's got and that is quite a different bird than the USAF has.
I think that Pakistan will get Triple Uglies, with all the secretive stuff deleted.

The UAE operates both the Viper and the Mirage 2000-9, so there is a potential risk that garlic-consumers will get there hands on yankee-technology. Ooh really?, No the US has protected their technology by hedging.
