* [Document reveals official US position on F-16s](https://www.dawn.com/news/1522014)

Are users of [F-16 fighter planes](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Dynamics_F-16_Fighting_Falcon) obliged to take the USA's permission to use them in attack roles?

I am especially curious about Turkey and Pakistan.

**P.S.** Someone mentioned Israel. In my opinion, US-Israel relations are special, and I’m primarily interested in other countries that don’t have such a close relationship.
