  BY TBPO Date: 12-12-2025 The normalization of relations between the US and China has had a positive impact on Pakistan-US relations. The US had previously attempted to make India the police officer of South Asia, but this strategy failed, and China emerged as a major power in the region. The US has now changed its approach and is seeking to improve relations with China. As a result, the US has approved a $686 million package for Pakistan to upgrade its F-16 fighter jets. This upgrade will extend the life of the aircraft by 15 years, making them operational until 2040. The F-16 is a battle-tested fighter jet, and this upgrade will enhance Pakistan's air force capabilities. However, the US withdrawal from Afghanistan has left behind a significant amount of military equipment, including 160 aircraft, night vision devices, and other arms worth $7.1 billion. This equipment has fallen into the hands of the Taliban and is being used to support terrorist groups, including the T...

    “TBPO STAFF: Date: 12-12-2025 " The Indian Air Force is facing a severe crisis, with its fleet of fighter jets dwindling rapidly. The air force has grounded its fleet of MiG-21 fighter jets, which were inducted in the 1960s, due to maintenance issues. This has reduced the number of operational squadrons to 29, almost on par with Pakistan's 25 squadrons. However, a closer look at the numbers reveals a more alarming situation. Nine of India's 29 squadrons are non-operational, with three squadrons flying the aging Mirage 2000 jets, which are nearly 40 years old. The remaining six squadrons operate the Jaguar aircraft, which were inducted in the 1970s and are no longer in service with any other air force in the world. India has approached Oman to acquire spare parts for its Jaguar fleet, as the original manufacturers have stopped production. Oman has agreed to hand over 20 Jaguar jets, which will be dismantled for spare parts. This move highlights the dire state ...
