Dear you didn't get my point.
Total 28 F-16s were built in 90s for PAF which were embargoed through pressler amendment. And at start of previous decade US divided these 28 F-16s into USAF and US Navy having 14 each and those F-16s in USAF and US Navy played as aggressor for DSCT for F-15s and...
Oh common, Its not like that, The original plan was before the earthquake in 2005 struck Pakistan to acquire around 77 F-16s including 50-54 new built C/D Block 50/52. But when the funds needed after earthquake Musharraf Govt changed the plan and went for 36 new and 28 embargoed F-16s and 36...
31 out of the original 40 units remains (Agreed)
14 used F-16s transfered (Agreed) (Infact originally built for PAF and later used by USAF as agressor for DSCT)
Total 45 units
but first 4 were MLUed in USA and the remaining 41 were MLUed in TAI Turkey.
13 Ex-Jordian ADF transfered and not MLUed...
Now its the time to burst your bubble. Is it you who will decide that who will get safe passage through Baluchistan????? WOW day dreaming at its peak.
Well Its your fantasy that you can control Baluchistan with your evil dreams Now the Baluchistan is very stable and Pakistan controls this...
Most probably and may be it could be for all 18 Block 50/52 Jets.
Yes you are right.
In fact they are mistakenly under estimate the capabilities of Block 50/52.
Also most of the PDF members thinks that High Command of PAF don't know anything what the members talked about over here. The decision...
Sir jee you are asking the link of a sale which occured 10 years back and even DSCA removed all data beyound 2008 and Jane's defense also removed data which is very old.
And as far as your question remained, well see 45 old F-16s have same radar which block 52 have APG-68 V9, it is compatible...
Why are you not accepting the truth where as we provided you so many links and if you ask this back in 2010 then i will provide you the exact link of this sale and letter of agreement.
The main difference of EMLUs F-16s and Block 52 F-16s are structure and Engine.
Because structure wise Block 52...
Dear 31+14=45 F-16s are already got EMLU (Enhanced Mid Life Upgrades) in TAI from 2010-2014 and these 45 F-16s are now on par with Block 50/52.
And about your query that potential sale to Pakistan, well congress approved that sale without any modifications. Now because DSCA dont have record...
No Turkey cannot upgrade F-16s or manufacture F-16s without USA permissions. Even if Pakistan going to purchase old F-16s from third country still need USA permission same was the case with Jordanian F-16s. Pakistan got these jets with USA permission. And if now Pakistan will go for additional...
See you didn't get my point, we have money and we can buy those 8 F-16s even further 10 as well. But see what PAF wants to achieve?
1- As USA promised to fund those F-16s through FMF, that's why PAF go for those F-16s because it seems very cheep like in 270 Million dollar they will get 8 New...
A) Under Taliban regime when Air India plane hijacked and landed at Kandahar, It was Taliban government who facilitated to ensure the hostage rescue and ensure their safety. It allows Indian high commissioner in Islamabad to go Kandahar and talked to Taliban to play a mediator role between...
Pakistan have money even more than 700 million dollars but as per commitment by USA they have to pay form FMF 400 million dollars and Pak have to pay 270 million. So Pakistan don't want to waste that money of FMF because if Pakistan pay full amount of 700 million dollars its most probably we...
Although this is a wish list but if you see in coming 5-7 or may be 5-10 years these would be required by navy to protect its maritime supply routes and also to protect vital assets on our coast line.
As far as my list is concerned, out of this list points 1,3,5 and 6 are Navy's immediate need...
To achieve this, first you have to be faithful muslim..but in Pakistan where are faithful muslims???? can you show me a single faithful muslim over here
No you cannot handle Taliban with military force because they also have very strong ground support as they also had families and kids which were killed in ISAF and US strikes. So dont assume that you can resolve Afghanistan issue by force. You cannot even no one succeeded before.
And this is...
Pakistan Should maintain its Naval surface and submerged fleet in coming 5-7 years like this:
1- 11 AIP SSKs - 8 S20 capable to fire Babur(1000 Km variant) + 3 Augosta 90B
2- At least 2 SSBN till 2022
Total Submarine fleet shoudl be 13 or 14 till 2022
3- 15 Frigates of displacement ( 2500...
Hi,
Well it was not even an answer but to avoid any conflict.
See I am on PDF since 2006 or may be before that but i was not participated in discussions here. I was just acting as an observer and reader.
I always read your post along all other senior members like Horus, Windjammer, Penguin...
It will be around 2020 and beyond.
Not 45th biggest its 41st biggest now
No J20 will be in PAF service. It could be J31 but after 2020.
It should be like this
Army 50%
Air Force 35%
Navy 15%
Or
Army 50%
Air Force 30%
Navy 20%
Its a great need of current time to increase...
