The Pakistani F-16 jet that crashed today is the first in 11 years and has come after the United States sold a $125 million technical support and end-use monitoring package to Pakistan in July 2019.
今天坠毁的巴基斯坦F-16喷气式飞机是11年来的第一架，此前美国于2019年7月向巴基斯坦出售了价值1.25亿美元的技术支持和最终用途监测一揽子计划。
“Pakistan had requested a continuation of technical support services; US Government and contractor technical and logistics support services to assist in the oversight of operations in support of the Pakistan Peace Drive advanced F-16 program. This proposed sale will support the foreign policy and national security of the United States by protecting US technology through the continued presence of US personnel that provide 24/7 end-use monitoring,” a US Dod release had said last year.
“巴基斯坦要求继续提供技术支持服务；美国政府和承包商提供技术和后勤支持服务，以协助监督支持巴基斯坦和平驱动高级F-16计划的行动。这项拟议中的出售将通过提供24/7最终用户监控的美国人员的持续存在来保护美国的技术，从而支持美国的外交政策和国家安全，“美国国防部去年发布的一则消息称。
The F-16s are generally considered ‘safe’ given the relatively low number of crashes compared to the total number of F-16s in operations- some 75 in Pakistan and over 4000 the world over.
F-16一般被认为是“安全”的，因为与F-16在行动中的总数相比，“坠机”的次数相对较少-巴基斯坦大约有75架，世界各地有4000多架。
