Yesterday news, Dutch sold their recently MLU F16s to Chile. Why Pakistan didn't come forward for the bid ?
I don't think so .there is huge strategic difference between f-16 and t-37
I consider this post as malicious. Please do not forget that we have the brightest minds working to achieve the best. They take every consideration in to account before a decision is made within the limited resources the government offers. Further more, LM and Boeing have several facilities outside US including Pakistan for it's commercial aircrafts. PAC manufactures aviation parts for Boeing 747, 767 and 777 aircrafts.

H Z9,
My good man, it is not a malicious post---PAC does not manufacture parts in the sense that I get from your post---PAC fabricates them from the machines they have purchased from the u s, technology that they have learnt from the u s, personale that have been trained in the u s or in pakistan by the u s personale---.
The brightest of the minds need to pointed and directed towards the right direction for them, to give appropriate results---at the end of the day---we will be judged by the results and not by our resources.
Please, you do not owe me any apology. Even my sentence was sarcastic, and you only replied to that. It is graciousness and kindness of Mastan Saheb that he thinks this high of me....in fact this reflects his own personality, a person who can said such words for a person with whom he has been into bitter dialogues, is indeed a respectable person. I'll PM you my Email to receive your 'token of friendship'. Thanks in advance and no hard feelings.Qsaark Friend I am sorry for being rude, I was in a totally different state of mind when I replied and hope you will forgive me. I hope we will end up as very good friends as a token of friendship please send me your email through pm, Will send you a collectors photo of JF-17 Just for you.
I agree.
But the better idea would have been to not go the US way in the first place i.e order the 18 blk-52. Just get the 60MLU kits and have it done by whoever was willing to do it at the earliest. There are some advantages of going for 18 new F-16s since we have operated the plane for so long, have all the training and infrastructure and operated around 32 of them as compared to going for just 18 planes of a totally different platform.
Considering just the upgrade for those Mirages are costing $20m a copy, I don't think that would be an affordable option for us unless UAE is selling them real cheap for some strange reason. Personally I suspect France will buy them back and give them the Rafale.
Regarding Dutch F-16, I don't know why PAF didn't try for them knowing that PAF was considering second-hand F-16s from US or from other Partner nations (Belgium?) back around 2-3 yrs ago. I am pretty sure even those would have involved US permission first. One reason I can think of is the economic condition. You cannot ask for aid money from one hand while spending on fighter jets with another, not unless you have a pretty strong leadership.
Whats underneath ...??
