The key reason was US sanctions, retired Pakistan Air Force Captain Sultan M. Hali told Sputnik.<\/p>\n<p>During Pakistan&#8217;s conflicts with India in 1965 and 1971, the United States imposed sanctions on both sides \u2014 but Pakistan was more affected since it relied heavily on Western equipment. China stepped in to help at that critical moment.<\/p>\n<p>In the post-Cold War period, repeated US sanctions again disrupted Pakistan\u2019s access to critical hardware.<\/p>\n<p>Beijing, by contrast, offered technology transfer \u2014 a step Western suppliers rarely take, and when they do, it comes with a web of restrictive conditions.<\/p>\n<p>Pakistan has now inducted a wide spectrum of Chinese systems, including fighter jets, air defense systems, early warning aircraft, frigates, and submarines.AnalysisChina and Pakistan Eye New High-Tech Alliance 21 May, 15:30 GMT<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/sputniknews.com\/20260525\/sanctions-backfire-why-pakistan-now-buys-chinese-weapons-instead-of-american-ones-1124185331.html\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This handout photograph taken and released on May 11, 2018 by Taiwan&#8217;s Defence Ministry shows a Republic of China (Taiwan) Air Force F-16 fighter aircraft (L) flying alongside a Chinese People&#8217;s Liberation Army Air Force (PLAAF) H-6K bomber Pakistan now receives up to 80% of its military imports from China \u2014 a striking reversal of &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":267591,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_bbp_topic_count":0,"_bbp_reply_count":0,"_bbp_total_topic_count":0,"_bbp_total_reply_count":0,"_bbp_voice_count":0,"_bbp_anonymous_reply_count":0,"_bbp_topic_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_reply_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_forum_subforum_count":0},"categories":[1284],"tags":[2133,2257,2493,17909],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v17.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Sanctions Backfire: Why Pakistan Now Buys Chinese Weapons Instead of American Ones - World News<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/demo.kupitiblog.ru\/545\/sanctions-backfire-why-pakistan-now-buys-chinese-weapons-instead-of-american-ones\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Sanctions Backfire: Why Pakistan Now Buys Chinese Weapons Instead of American Ones - World News\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"This handout photograph taken and released on May 11, 2018 by Taiwan&#8217;s Defence Ministry shows a Republic of China (Taiwan) Air Force F-16 fighter aircraft (L) flying alongside a Chinese People&#8217;s Liberation Army Air Force (PLAAF) H-6K bomber Pakistan now receives up to 80% of its military imports from China \u2014 a striking reversal of &hellip;\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/demo.kupitiblog.ru\/545\/sanctions-backfire-why-pakistan-now-buys-chinese-weapons-instead-of-american-ones\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"World News\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2026-05-27T16:55:07+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/demo.kupitiblog.ru\/545\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/808ae19e1c916008c6b3e0ffd13c9993-1.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1920\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"1080\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Admin\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/demo.kupitiblog.ru\/545\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/demo.kupitiblog.ru\/545\/\",\"name\":\"World News\",\"description\":\"Breaking News &amp;
