America has approved to sell modern technology and assistance worth $686 million i.e. Rs 5,800 crore to upgrade Pakistan’s fighter jet F-16. America’s Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA) has sent a letter in this regard to the US Parliament and Congress. The US Congress has 30 days to review this proposed sale. However, this step of the Trump administration has increased the stir at the global level. Besides, keeping in mind the concerns of India, it was also said in the letter that this deal will not have any impact on the military balance of the region.

According to the report of Pakistani newspaper Dawn, this package includes Link-16 data link system, cryptographic equipment (secret code), avionics updates (electronic systems of the aircraft), pilot training and logistical support. With this package, the lifespan of the aircraft will increase by 15 years i.e. the lifespan of the weapons will increase by 2040.

DSCA has informed House Speaker Mike Johnson, Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman James Rish and House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Brian Mast in this regard. The agency said in the letters that the US Air Force is going to issue a ‘Letter of Offer and Acceptance (LOA) for defense materials and services worth about $ 686 million to Pakistan, the estimated cost of which is $ 686 million.

It is clearly stated in the DSCA letter that this deal will support America’s foreign policy and national security. With this, Pakistan will be able to continue working with American and allied forces in anti-terrorism operations.

This package includes Major Defense Equipment (MDA) worth $37 million and additional hardware, software and logistical support worth $649 million. 92 links-16 technical data link systems are also included in the MDA list. It is a jam-resistant digital network used by US and allied forces to share battlefield information in real time. Also included are six MK-82 inert 500-pound bomb bodies, which are unguided and low-drag training weapons. These are specifically used for integration and release testing.

According to the notification, the deal also includes a variety of non-MDA items, including avionics updates, operational flight program modifications, secure communications systems, identification friend or foe equipment, cryptographic applique, mission-planning systems, test equipment, spare parts, training devices, simulators, publications, and contractor engineering and logistics support.

The administration said these upgrades will help Pakistan modernize its Block-52 and mid-life upgrade F-16 fleet and ensure compatibility with US and partner forces. Keeping in mind India’s long-standing concerns, the notification also made it clear that this sale will not change the basic military balance in the region.

A good news has emerged for India amid the ongoing tariff dispute with the Trump administration. America has given permission to India to sell advanced weapons worth 93 million dollars, i.e. about Rs 775 crore. This decision is being considered as a strong sign of the growing strategic partnership between the two countries.

This deal is going to provide the Indian Army with two modern weapons whose combat capability has been proven worldwide, which includes Javelin anti-tank missile and Excalibur precision-guided artillery rounds.

Why is Javelin missile special?

Javelin missile is counted among the world’s most effective anti-tank missile systems. Its range is up to 4 kilometers and it has a success record of more than 90 percent against tanks. Top-attack capability and fire-and-forget technology make it a highly reliable weapon in the modern battlefield. Due to these features, the Javelin missile will give the Indian Army a huge advantage in countering the enemy’s armored deployment.

Artillery System Capability

The capability of any artillery system depends on two things. How far can it hit and how much damage can it cause to the target. Range is important, but the final decision on the battlefield is made by the warhead. For this reason M982 Excalibur is given a special status in the world of precision artillery. This is a shell which not only hits the target accurately, but due to the different types of warheads, it can be used in any kind of situation.

Excalibur’s high-explosive blast-fragmentation warhead makes it extremely effective against concrete fortifications, underground bunkers and thick concrete structures. This shell does not disintegrate like normal artillery shells, but hits the exact point with the help of GPS-guidance. Excalibur is also used with a sensor-fused warhead that destroys enemy tanks by attacking from above. This method is considered very effective in modern warfare, because the roof of any tank is its weakest layer.

Cluster-type bomblet installation option

There is also an option to install cluster-type bomblets within the Excalibur. Due to this, a single shell can cause damage to a large area. It is often used to block enemy artillery guns, support vehicles, temporary ammunition depots, and to block advancing troops simultaneously. GPS-guidance and the feature of preventing the spread of gunpowder make it dangerous.

Precise strikes on hidden targets, ATGM teams and snipers

Due to the Sensor-Fused Munition, Excalibur can engage not only against heavy formations but also against small and dangerous teams with shooter-level accuracy. Sniper positions, machine gunners, ATGM launch teams. All these increase the strength of the enemy and are often not seen in the open. Excalibur’s precision technology can destroy them despite remaining hidden.
