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.

Does that mean we have bought another tranche of 18 F-16 Block 52+ ?
 
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.
