ISLAMABAD: The US Embassy has confirmed that the F-16 program with Pakistan has not been stopped. The embassy says reports in the media about the stoppage of the program are not accurate.

According to a US Embassy statement, the planned delivery of the last “new-buy” F-16 purchased by Pakistan is scheduled to arrive from the United States in late January, 2012.

Several other F-16s purchased by Pakistan from the United States are undergoing mid-life upgrades and will arrive in Pakistan beginning in late January.
Deliveries will continue throughout this year and next.

No these are just the old ones sent to US for mid-life upgrades to the level of block C-40/42.......

The article is talking about new F-16s.
The MLU work is being done in Turkey

4 old F-16s are in USA for MLU.
6 are in Turkey.
Pakistan asked USA to return 4 more old f-16, out 28 embargoed in 90s. Probably the same are for MLU there.

BUT there is no new deal of any new Block-52.
