The French government is all set to screw Pakistan and it’s rusted armed forces. In a plan and simple words, France has declined to upgrade the French origin weapon system with Pakistan.
France declines Pakistan’s request to upgrade Mirage fighters and Agosta submarines. France has also told Qatar, one of the countries that bought the Rafale fighters, not to allow Pakistan-origin technicians to work with the plane.
Report as said that France has rejected Pakistan’s requests for approval to upgrade Pakistan Airforce (PAF) obsolete Mirage III/V fleet and also rejected Pak demands to upgrade the Croatale/Spada surface to air missiles as well as Agosta 90B submarines. This could deal a deadly blow to cash strapped nation Pakistan. Pakistan survives with the grace of western countries which provides modern systems at low cost.
But, Pakistanis has this tendency to bite the hands of those who are feeding them. Terrorist groups linked to Pakistan Army and the government has treated French President Emmanuel Macron for Charlie Hebdo prophet cartoon. Many in Pakistan have called for beheading the French president Macron.
The report also adds that France has told Qatar not to give Pakistanis any access to Rafales but that is not all new as this condition existed since 2016-17.
France has TSTs accord in Qatar is just like Americans have TSTs in Pak to prevent F-16C/D from being accessed by the Chinese.
