#pakistan says it has no money & begs for it, yet buys news F-16s; is it lying about having no money?

In spite of claiming that it has no money to care for its flood-stricken citizens, the Islamic Republic of pakistan has purchased around 20 new F-16 Fighter aircrafts.

It begets a question - how does a so-called impoverished country like pakistan afford these aircrafts. Or odes it mean that it has all the money it requires but it is lying through the skin of its teeth to get all the aid it can get to fill up the coffers of its rich and powerful.
