I don't think PAF is will order more F-16's anytime soon.Firstly if PAF wanted i would have given the order of 36 planes right away
In my opinion the following could be the reasons:
1) F-16's come with lot of strings attached.18 new F-16's cannot be stationed with our older F-16's.US...
Here you go:
PAF has 43 F-16's (these also include F-16's delievered to pakistan after 9/11)
2 of PAF's F-16's are with LM in USA for MLU(so presently only 41 F-16's are with Pakistan)
2 F-16's destined for PAF were directly delievered to LM for MLU
so 41+2+2=45 blk 15 F-16's
we...
May be numbers would help.
PAF got around 120 F-7P
60 F-7PG
around 100-150 Mirages
40 odd A-5's
45 F-16's
i.e we need to replace around 260-320 aircrafts
PG's would be the last ones to go out
Now as most reports suggest we would have first 50 JF-17's by 2011.After 2011 if we...
I knew that but anyways thanks for the effort.
In reference to the lines contained in the news that ACM would put his signatures on F-16 manufactured for PAF.What i wanted to ask was that the particular F-16 shown in the pic posted by abbass, Is it the one that is to be delievered to pakistan...
yes.but that is for the remaining 42 rather remaining 41 F-16's as one F-16 crashed few months back.Two f-16's destined for pakistan were directly delievered to LM while two were sent from pakistan for MLU.
remember pics of 2 f-16's at Lejas Airbase.Those F-16 were on their way to USA from...
14 of them have already been delievered.Remaining 12 are with some US service(coast guard i think,correct me if i am wrong) and they are not ready to release them.
Four more F-16s recieved for the PAF : Pakistan Defence

thanks for sharing this news.
Any news about the F-16's with LM for MLU.Its been long since i heard something about them.I wonder what are the doing with those aircrafts.LM is taking more time in upgrading aircrafts than they normally take to build a new one.

I totally agree with you.It would not be a good decision to add a new system to PAF and spend a lot of resources on associated infrastructure and stuff when we are already spending a lot of money in developing our capability to produce fighters locally.
Secondly PAF needed a high tech fighter...
:partay:well there are so many versions of the same video..here are two related to my uni

well at this point it isn't very conclusive cause these NRR would change after the pak vs aus and ind vs wi game.and it only takes one big loss to take your NRR from +ve to -ve.
but a good thing for india is that they will pretty much know the outcome of pak vs aus match cause pak-aus match...
i was about to post the same thing :bounce:
anyways it would be interesting to see which ankaray indian media shows this time around
but certainly i would like pakistan to win its next match.it would give our players alot of confidence.
:pakistan:
update:
match called off...
First of all congratulations to Pakistan Team and Pakistani nation:pakistan:.
well I understand your feeling abbas.after a long time good things are happening for pakistan but considering this an omen of change in fate would be a bit immature.its just a game.after T20 victory we lost to...
"confine themselves to inside their borders".do you apply the same rule to yourself. i don't think so.
i hope you know where all those soviet ambitions ended up and US is pretty much on the same course..:taz:
i will ask my american friends to stop making speeches about democracy and stuff.well the thing is it was not democracy that you wanted to restore. you just wanted to remove saddam and put someone who was ready to follow american orders. you wanted a puppit prime minister in iraq so that...
well at the end of this video a retired airforce officer gives a different viewpoint about this whole drone issue
and i believe even if paf gets drones it would have to be extremely careful in using them.
