Us release 397 Million Dollars Monitoring for Pakistan F 16 Use Against India

US on Pakistan F-16 oversight: US President Donald Trump has released $ 397 million (about $ 39.7 million) to keep a close watch on Pakistan’s F-16 fighter jets.

The purpose of this amount is to monitor the US-backed F-16 program in Pakistan, to ensure that Pakistan use these aircraft for anti-terrorism campaigns. They should not be misused against India. After the 2019 Kashmir aerial clash, Pakistan was accused of using American F-16 fighter jets. The incident had raised concerns about violations of military agreements in Washington.

It also includes Pakistan’s F-16 monitoring program.
