I understand that most if not all are the ''D'' versions, which ideally serve the purpose of training and wild weasel type role.

Any chances of US selling us F-16 V ?I will bet that within or at the end of the two year period these F-16s are delivered, the PAF will order additional new-built F-16s. It'll either be through multiple incremental orders or through one final big batch.
It's a sensible ask, but a tough one. At the end of the day the PAF, like any massive organization, has its inherent inertia. The F-16 is a mature and capable platform, and the PAF has the necessary infrastructure to smoothly induct new aircraft of the model. Is it politically 'safe?' Nope, but the PAF knows the devil that is the U.S., what can it say about Russia? Europe? The PAF at least has an idea of how to get around U.S. sanctions (it has dealt with them on multiple occassions), but Russia? Where will it start?In one of your article it was written that JF17 could get Italian avionics which would be great & an achievement for Pakistan. Lets see what happens.
As far as Griphens are concerned, I said it because I believe we will not get any more F16's in the future, but if that is not a concern then US restriction on usage of F16's & then spare parts are serious issues. So what I want to say is Pakistan should try to explore new options & Pakistan should end F16 fever once & for all.
Different Govt Different Policyith the way the MMRCA deal blowing hot and cold....one shouldn't wash the soap before hands......
I don't know. It's possible the PAF might acquire the update kit 5-10 years from now.Any chances of US selling us F-16 V ?

~87 million usd per plane is bit too much.

All roads to China lead through Pakistan, if you know what I mean.Reason why we should just be mere business partners with US. Nothing more.
Also keep out of SCS if we are taking sides with US.
Cooperate with each party involved in SCS and work to improve bilateral ties with China.
Exactly, we deserved this. We should learn from the past and work for only India's agenda, not for that of US.
Time for India to look to resolve everything with China and improve trade.
Sir Update French Down there Price to 8.8 Billion $India is paying over 12 billion USD for 36 Rafales
Weapon details are seldom released and we may never know until the package is delivered.....even now there are certain weapons in the PAF arsenal which aren't officially disclosed.Any ways Now 14 JHMCS will be part of this Deal Any News About Hobs Missile, Is PAF going For Aim-9x or Any other counter Part

these guys are unbelievable
they are banking on their rants and bribes to change US decision. just goes to show the obsession against Pakistan although we are normally told they dont care about us.
8 or 80 F-16s..WTF they think they are? through paying some senators they think they can drive US foreign policy.
For example? Hints?even now there are certain weapons in the PAF arsenal which aren't officially disclosed.
