The weapon with blue casing certainly looks different from the standard LGBs in PAF inventory.

We should consider that one cannot incorporate everything to F-16s without OEM. Another question comes to the mind if they will ever let us do so by our own? SAAB-2000 story is lot more than this one. We have our own version of Spice-2000; wouldn't be allowed onto F-16s or am I missing something here.

May be LM let it happen under their watch, that's win-win for both parties,PAF gets PGM and US would be able to know level of Pakistani expertise.

What if they have reverse engineered those gifts that were given by IAF?
Spice uses satellite images to memorise the target and then guides itself to that target once dropped. Spice has been used by Israel several times in Syria & Iraq and hence Pakistan may already have got some bombs long time back. But to use it, Pakistan needs extensive network of accurate satellite cameras.

Even India does not make Spice bombs as India does not find meaning in making Spice as it is difficult to be used during major wars. Spice is only good for limited warfare due to its accuracy. But during major war, it is hard to take satellite images of every target and hence Spice becomes ineffiicient.

A certain International Aviation journalist once disclosed to me of a certain weapon patch given to him by a Viper unit and according to him, the weapon had nothing in resemblance to R'had.

Are our F16s allowed to integerate any weapon we like?

Also was there any bomb (Spice) which remained unexploded in 26th Feb? If no then How can exploded bombs be reverse engineered? Also do u guys think any technical reason why this weapon is not integerated on Mirage or Thunder?

They have backup modes also.SPICE has hybrid inertial navigation system (INS) / Global Positioning System (GPS) guidance coupled with EO.
