The US government said today it planned to sell Pakistan 36 new advanced F-16 fighter jets.
The jets, built by Lockheed Martin Corporation, will be sold as part of a weapons package that could be worth more than $5 billion.
In a notice to Congress, the Pentagon agency responsible for government-to-government arms sales said the new F-16 C/D models alone could be worth $3 billion if all options were exercised.
