The long-anticipated U.S. proposal to sell eight P-3C maritime surveillance aircraft to Pakistan is now before Congress. The deal could reach $970 million. Pakistan is to use the aircraft to monitor its coastline. The foreign military sale is considered part of U.S. efforts to bolster Pakistan's ability to combat terrorist elements. P-3s are also going to India, its immediate neighbor.

Pakistan may buy more than 2,000 TOW-2A anti-armor guided missiles under a proposed $82-million Foreign Military Sales package with the U.S. Pakistan's existing TOW missiles are reaching the end of their shelf lives. Pakistan also has been using missiles heavily near the Afghan border. U.S. officials are concerned that it could take two years to get the replenishment TOWs to Pakistan.
