Karachi: Pakistan on October 11 warned it would spare no effort to maintain regional military balance
after Israel signed a deal to sell three Phalcon airborne early warning radar systems to India.
"We'll exploit all our resources to maintain this balance for which we should not be blamed because this
arms race has been launched by the Indians," Foreign Minister Khurshid Kasuri said.
Kasuri said Pakistan was deeply concerned about India's acquisition of sophisticated arms from Israel
and other countries.
He said India was out to disturb the regional balance.
India and Israel signed the deal on October 10, which experts estimate to be worth around $ 1 billion.
