AoA Close to 50 mil. I would go for two squadrons initially. One in the south for Maritime role and one in the center for strike and stand off weapons. Opinion of others may be helpful. Regards

Well done Misbah

Should acquire gunships rather than tanks

AoA More of a political value. US is doing a lot to make Nawaz visit a success. They added Kashmir in the statement and now these F-16s. Fishy situation. Regards

Could be an exercise

Still working for me

Good news

Strange country. Object to our tactical nuclear program due to regional instability. Then give F-16s. Anyway good for Pakistan and PAF.

The Nawaz govt should be given credit for this

This would help in winning hearts and minds. Maryam Nawaz spoke well at the ceremony

AoA Besides all you have said the following points also apply:- 1. It carries more than twice the payload of the JF-17. This means more bombs on targets or more targets per mission. 2. Strike package would be smaller by 1/4. One bomber + One escort 3. Being dual seater can be...

Plagued with problems is this fighter

In that range other options such as Scorpion and LCA would come in. Blk 2 is well balanced for export market at about 18 mil

Every country inducts weapons based on their envisaged usage. In the present cold start scenario PAFs main role would be to deny enemy local air superiority and give Pak Army a level playing field. For maintaining a favorable air situation we need air superiority / multirole fighters...

The target market is developing countries. Block 2 is very competitive in that domain. Don't really see what else we can add without increasing costs significantly.

Many are paying cost of these wars
