Pentagon move on Awacs sale


WASHINGTON, Dec 9: The Pentagon said on Friday it had notified Congress of a possible sale to Pakistan of three P-3 aircraft with airborne early warning systems.

The Pentagon estimated the value of such a sale at $855 million.

It says Pakistan intends to use the aircraft with the E-2C Hawkeye Airborne Early Warning System for its naval forces.

The refurbished aircraft would boost Pakistan's ability to guard its shores and borders against the movement of terrorists and drug traffickers, the Pentagon said in a statement.
