For 1000th time, please stop spreading this narrative.F-16s have no such condition,they can fly wherever PAF wants and they can be posted wherever PAF wants, example being deployment of F-16 units during last year's standoff to different air bases.

This is a misleading information spread by Indians and Pakistanis are falling for it like always.


The only restriction that is confirmed is Chinese are not allowed to come close to F16s on ground.


F-7s will retire only when CCS stops using them.

If Sohail Aman was still chief then you could say F-7s will retire by 2025,no disrespect for the current chief but Sohail Aman had a separate vision.

Did you happen to read this news? @araz No doubt PAF and Pakistan can do whatever they want with F-16 but there exist agreements which govern the use/movement of F-16's

State Department Reprimanded Pakistan for Misusing F-16s, Document Shows

A TOP AMERICAN DIPLOMAT sent a written reprimand to the chiefs of the Pakistani air force in August accusing them of misusing U.S.-supplied F-16 fighter jets and jeopardizing their shared security, according to documents obtained by U.S. News

Addressed to the head of the Pakistani air force, Air Chief Marshal Mujahid Anwar Khan, the letter began by relaying the State Department's confirmation that Pakistan had moved the F-16s and accompanying American-made missiles to unapproved forward operating bases in defiance of its agreement with the U.S. Using diplomatic language, Thompson, who has since left government, warned the Pakistanis that their behavior risked allowing these weapons to fall into the hands of malign actors and "could undermine our shared security platforms and infrastructures."

I thought terms are always secret of deals with US but even if its true did it have any affect? At the end we are getting more equipment for F-16s.So imho we are cool as long as Chinese dont come close to the F-16.

You guys are forgetting that the Block 50/52 are no longer being produced. Either the PAF goes for used airframes or goes for new 72's which is a VERY costly route.
Block 72 is cheapest in it's category, we have all infrastructure to handle F-16s

Is PAF open to accept more Mirage IIIs & Vs from ex-operators?

Although we have JF-17s and more new stuff coming soon.

Is PAF open to accept more Mirage IIIs & Vs from ex-operators for using them as spares and even to upgrade some for the strike roles?

Although we have JF-17s that is will be the backbone of PAF.

aren’t we getting mirage V from Egypt?

There are very few Mirage III/Vs left out in the world that are in any shape worth buying by the PAF. Egypt might be the last potential source as it operated a decent fleet and kept them in service but these would be very old airframes with lots of hours on them.
