A flight of six F-16 Dutch planes to the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan was launched on Wednesday. The total number of aircrafts is 15 .. so still 9 to go..
The MLU 6.5 had delayed delivery because of updates made to the aircraft has been developed into the latest software model in Europe M6.5 tape.. which includes:

  • Rectification of some earlier weapon integration shortcomings
  • Integration of new weapons (JASSM, JDAM, EGBU-12, SDB, AIM-120D and AIM-9X)

Do you think Jordan needs a fifth gen fighter in the future to replace F-16? I mean like 20-30 year future.

F-16 MLU-6.5 Royal jordanian Air Force
Now my most important thing is to bring in a fighter from the East, Russian, Chinese or even Pakistani Thander Block 3 to the American F-16 to give Jordan more flexibility in operations and so that Jordan can carry out operations outside the umbrella of the US-led International Anti-Terrorism Alliance Royal Jordanian Air Force
 
. . .
i doubt these planes will be used against any country or they will sell them to Pakistan

These fighters are NATO fighters, original versions of NATO! Arming the entire, the most important what is currently lacking is:

Pod LANTIRN AN / AAQ-13
AGM-88 Harm
GBU-39
A AIM-120 / D
AIM-9 / X
CBU Bomb
Cruise missiles
 
.
I don't understand they sell us f-16.they buy f 16 again.are these Dutch f 16 advanced then the ones we got provided we also MLUed them.

The best F-16s older than Block 52 is the Netherlands' ones, all upgraded to the MLU-6.5 which is equivalent to the Viper and above the BLOCK-52 !! But still uses the AN/APG-68(V)9 which has a Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) capability..it is the same radar used by the BLOCK-52+
