stop being so negative buddy! 18 is better than none right! and secondly we don['t have the money to buy more thanx to corrupt LEADERS! and finally we are not going to war with just 18 fighters rest assured we got lots of things to fight with.....and this was proven in december 2008 when our airforce was ready to defend our airspace without JFs without BVRs without BLK 52s!!!!

I know our Air Force is pretty good. and I am not trying to be negative, but its just that, after so much "do more do more" from US they only did this. I say to US: "US do more" and "get more".

18 New block 52+ and option for 18 more.
This deal will pave way for current 45 f-16 MLU which will bring them close to current block 52 standard.
PAF is also negotiating for release of 20 or so PAF embargoed F-16s

I don't want to talk about things that haven't happened yet. Because, whether you like it or not, US is not very reliable.

well that is the problem we don't lobby our case well!!! thanx to our LEADERS! firstly we should get all our debt from the US turned into AID....once that is done trust me alot of things can improve currently we are spending billions in INTEREST PAYMENTS on our debt!

but rest assured all our ARMED FORCES are always ready to hit back at a moments notice even though the odds are against them....they have always been....

in absence of those 45 F-16 A/Bs due to MLU
i think these 18 new and some old 24 A/Bs already MLUed will be enough for the defence of our airspace....
but by 2011 we will also be operating 50 new BLOCK I of thunders​

Yes, we should ask for more hardware and some support with our economy. People without jobs will surely turn against USA.

We must remember we are a nuclear armed nation. Our Nuclear tech is better than India's we are chasing plutonium based bombs now as well. Our missiles our better. Inida will never war with Pakistan because we can nuke them and do that more effectively.

Pakistan in the long term has a better plan than India. India will not war with us because of our nuclear bombs so I think the PAK Military is trying to build at home rather than buy from abroad which is what India is doing. And what will be their downfall if they ever become a super power like so many "experts" say.

The Americans are indeed the MASTERS OF PRESENTATION. Good to have additional Falcons in our inventory. And to address a posters remark here regarding the size of the IAF, indeed its not the size that counts my friend it how you use it!!! Just ask Israel!!

Can anyone confirm - if your Air Chief pictured here is an Ex - PAF College Sargodha - 17th Entry Graduate from Iqbal House?

Those waves that you are referring to are actually Conformal fuel tanks and they are removable, so that they can and will be added later on.

Final picture of PAF's F-16s block 52 birds would be some thing like this:

size alone does not matters... but do you think that Indians wont use them tactically.

F 16 is a great fighter jet and Pakistan should acquire them. Nice pics of a fully loaded beast.

Well do you ever think that the what India can do to you before ranting what you can do to India. Same approch has cost you a lot...


Anyways nice big machines. we need to hurry up with MRCA to counter that and induction of LCA has become more important now.

Only 18??? How can an Air force rely on only 18 High tech Jets in face of 320 Higher Tech Jets of its adversary?

These are only to help in Current situation.. Not enough against India.

umairp, I think number is not a question to acquire these jets. the issue is $ with Pakistan. they can go for 18 more jets if they have sufficient funds and the number could increase further depending on US-Pak relationship.
