Pakistan was unable to seal the deal with the United States (US) for the purchase of F-16 fighter jets due to wobbling relations between both the countries.
However, the US had agreed to provide six ‘Medical Evacuation Aircraft’ (MEDEVAC) to Pakistan which would be used to rescue injured personnel as well as in other small operations, according to the media.
These six planes cost $1billion 40 hundred thousand while sources revealed that an American Company CESSNA would manufacture these planes providing all spare parts of these machines.
Pakistan had ordered two CESSNA 208 Caravan planes while four of them would be CESSNA 206 StationAir planes.
These planes would be used in airborne and sea related operations, equipped with state-of-the-art radars they would be used to patrol and monitor movements along Pakistani territories.
