Military relations between pakistan and America have started to warm up again. After the recent visit of Field Marshal Asim Munir to America, now Pakistan air Force Chief air Chief Marshal Zaheer ahmed Babar Sidhu has also made an official visit to America. This is the first time in the last decade that a chief of the pakistan air Force has visited America.

A statement issued by the pakistan air Force said that this visit is a big step towards deepening defense cooperation between the two countries and advancing strategic partnership. Issues related to regional and global security were also discussed during this visit.

Important meetings held at the Pentagon

During his US stay, air Chief Sidhu visited the Pentagon and met US air Force international Affairs Secretary Kelly L. Sebolt and US air Force Chief of Staff General David W. Alvin. According to the PAF statement, both sides agreed on bilateral military cooperation, joint training programs, sharing defense technology and strengthening institutional dialogue.

Trust in china lost after Operation Sindoor?

During Operation Sindoor, india targeted several important military installations of Pakistan. This included Chinese air defense systems, radars and fighter aircraft, which suffered heavy losses in indian attacks. Now there are indications from pakistan that it wants to increase defense cooperation with the US instead of China.

Pakistan prime minister Shahbaz Sharif's advisor Rana Sanaullah has made a big revelation and said that pakistan had only 30 to 35 seconds to respond when india fired Brahmos missile.

Interest in F-16 and HIMARS

Pakistan is now trying to acquire F-16 Block 70 fighter jets, air defense systems and advanced weapon platforms like HIMARS from the US. If this information is correct then it means that pakistan no longer trusts the capability of Chinese weapons.

Chinese spokesperson evaded answer

China's silence on the India-Pakistan conflict also points towards this changed attitude. On being asked a question in a press conference on May 30, Chinese Defense Ministry spokesperson Zhang Xiaogang refused to make any statement regarding the impact of Pakistan's weapons.
