F-16 Block 15MLU/50/52 Fighter

[A.Rahman]

Hameed Gul is a complete moron.

He said that Pakistan should have militarily resisted USA in Afghanistan and the only thing Pakistan had to worry about were High Altitude US B-52 Bombers.

He also said that Jews caused 9/11

This man is the Dick Cheney or Donald Rumsfeld of Pakistan

So in other words not to be taken at his word

This guy was the head of ISI; He knows things that we might not know.
Only time will tell who is right.

I think that Rhaman made a valuable statement. Some people know a lot more ... And a bit stupid to degrade former head of ISI... He defended your freedom at all cost.

Delivery of F-16 jets to start next month

Published: Friday, 9 February, 2007, 01:08 PM Doha Time
ISLAMABAD: Pakistan will start getting the latest version of US F-16 aircraft from next month, official sources said here yesterday.
The test flights of first batch of 18 F-16 Block 50/52 aircraft made for Pakistan have been initiated and they would be on their way next month.
Defence sources say that the $3bn supply of 26 F-16 aircraft (A/B embargoed version) will be completed in 2009.
Pakistan also has the option of buying another batch of brand new F-16 Block 50/52 fitted with weapon system but Islamabad has to make up its mind in this regard, sources said.
Pakistan has also acquired Awacs which would be fitted in the Swedish SAAB planes. For that, Islamabad has already made an order. The Awacs will cost $1bn. It will reach Pakistan in early 2009, well before India gets it from other sources.
Pakistan is also contemplating to obtain Chinese Jiang-10 aircraft considered to be at par with any contemporary multi-role hi-tech fighter plane of any country.
Sources said that India is planning to obtain nuclear-capable 126 modern planes from the world market. Indians are exploring Russian MIG-31, French Rafael and Mirages-2000, four European countries (UK, Germany, France and Italy) joint production Typhoon and Swedish Grippens planes.
All these planes are expensive and available on cash payment.

Now claims that Pakistan will lag behind India with its MRCA deal and the SU-30 inductions, you all need to think again. F-16's are arriving early and J-10's in the next few so... hold your breath!

 

[Contrarian]

Really?
Wanna compare the aircraft numbers??

i guess the only time we'll know for sure is when we seen them flying in pakistan. everything has been so hush hush regarding the Jf-17's, we dont know a lot.

 

[falcone]

I thought that deliveries of the new F-16s were supposed to start in late 2008 or in 2009. Maybe delivery of the embargoed F-16s will commence.

embargoed versions would be completed by 2009 but the articles says the block 50/52 are being tested right now and deliveries will start next month
