Pakistan army rejects Israeli arms import report - Xinhua | English.news.cnEnglish.news.cn 2013-06-11 21:22:52
ISLAMABAD, June 11 (Xinhua) -- Pakistan military Tuesday rejected as misleading a British government report which said Israel exported military equipment to Pakistan despite having no diplomatic ties.
Quoting the report, Israeli newspaper Haaretz reported that Israel exported military equipment to Pakistan and four Arab countries -- Egypt, Algeria, the United Arab Emirates and Morocco - - over the past five years.
"In 2010, Israel applied for permits to export electronic warfare systems and Head-up Cockpit Displays (HUDs) with components from Britain to Pakistan," the newspaper further stated.
Pakistan army dismissed the report in comment.
A military spokesman categorically denied a news report which appeared in a section of media stating that Pakistan purchased any defence equipment from Israel.
"The report is misleading and not based on facts," the military spokesman said in a statement.
The report was released by Britain's Department for Business, Innovation and Skills which oversees security exports and publishes regular reports on permits granted or denied to purchase arms, military equipment or civilian items that are monitored because they can be put to security uses.
The Haaretz news report revealed that according to the British report, Israel sought to purchase British components in 2011 to export radar systems to Pakistan, as well as electronic warfare systems, HUDs, parts for fighter jets and aircraft engines, optic target acquisition systems, components of training aircraft, and military electronic systems.
