The F16 has been offered before and only rejected because of the airframe life. The cost might be lower if they give the F16s as EDA and only charge for the upgrades. It cost Pakistan 1.3 Billion for 60 upgrade kits ,so roughly 260 million for 12 airframes. The rest could easily go to UP/STAR...

Nope just saying politics and vested interests will play their part. And I know full well how Military police work...lol They are not the greatest. This guy comes from the rape capital of the world.I am sure he will trot out all the usual excuses like you are doing for him lol Lol But you have...

As part of a layered air defence system. for the air force.

The Gripen and FA50 have already been "Shot down" so to speak but you have forgotten about the USA and the Russians. The Americans will not let Argentina slide into the Chinese camp without at least trying to do something. The Argentine airforce has always prefer Western equipment (Or...

The Gripen option was already "Shot down" so to speak back in 2015. The FA50 likewise in 2019. I am guessing the F16 and a Russian option are the others on the table. The Russian option will be too expensive (With probably higher maintenance costs) This is why I believe the F16 will be the...

Apparently the Argentines are looking at the JF17. But they might be looking at other options as well (5 Apparently) and the request for money was just that A request. "In a statement, Argentinian MoD said: “The Ministry of Defense informs that, by means of a Public Credit Operations...

Better sortie rates are important. The Israelis proved that. This is another important advantage the PAF has and that it's pilot to plane ratio vs the IAF. Also this "Massive attack" theory does not account for. Airfield density closer to front line Logistical support for the various types...

Well the first thing you need to do is look at their inventory and or orders (Rafales,Eurofighters, and F15QAs) I cannot see where the JF17 will fit. I think Qatar might buy a few aircraft as Political gesture. (A bit like the Mushak when they bought a PC21 "Training system")

It's a statue in the middle of a road. Do you think security forces should guard statues or vital infrastructure? Bombs and nonsense happen even in first world nations with top class security. People need to stop being so hyperbolic about these things. If all they can blow up is an unguarded...

So if past indicators are to be applied it will be in service in 20 yrs or so?

Not to mention the fact that their Helos crash

No roofies are not that unusual. And lets be honest India is known as the sexual assault capital of the world... A---**** his career Any smart officer would not put himself in a stupid situation B--there might be other evidence that hasn't been seen You can idenitfy people in these factors...

When you idolize leaders like him you will always have my contempt.

Actually you haven't really thought it through. The F16's you have don't have the AIM120 (Only Sparrow missiles) No AESA. You will still need to defend your airspace. The JF17 Gives you Longer range BVR's AESA cheaper flight hours and a lot more stand off munitions that the good ole USA won't...

Exactly there are already alleged comments from Argentina stating that they are looking at 5 options and have not specified which aircraft.

Ultimately the blk 3 ,whilst advanced will become a known quantity fairly quickly. The trick is keeping g ahead of the curve.

I am surprised we haven't seen "Tejas offered to Argentina and Iraq" "deal close to conclusion " "Tejas superior" from the imbecilic Indian media. The F16 is a superior platform. But You won't get BVR/AESA and Multi role for cheaper.

I love the arrogance! I hope it is common amongst Indians!
