Pakistan puts off signing F-16 deal with US
Pakistani weekly Friday Times reported that Pakistan has decided to postponed signing the letter of acceptance (LOA) for purchase of 36 F-16s after complains from its Air Force.

The PAF is unhappy that the F-16s were being offered without EW programme capabilities for their Radar Warning Receiver (RWR).

This means that they will have pre-installed threat library and its RWR will only be able to identify Non-NATO aircraft. When attacked by NATO aircraft, the F-16s are defenseless.
