Israel's 8 F16s become "water bubblers" and Pakistan intends to purchase them

@ Imran Khan, 二手 here means second hand not 2 mobiles. google translate can sometimes be as retarded as most PDFers, so not much of a laughing matter

Some Pakistanis love F-16s so much that they will even buy the wooden ones. (on a lighter note)

Pakistan is looking for 30+ surplus F-16s.

What is the required number of F-16s in PAF???

What is the required number of F-16s in PAF???

Get as many as possible to replace F-7s and older Mirage but 18 to 36 is unofficial requirement.

I am talking about total number required???

 

[khanmubashir]

may or may not be true but guess who was supplying Pakistan with spares during last bout of US sanctions against Pakistan

I hear you say: but but but Israel is an injun ally. then I say during civil war in Sri Lanka tamil tigers were being trained in Israel on how to lay mines and a few miles away sinhalese were being trained in how to sweep mines.

it is a weird twisted world!

wasnt that turkey and Jordan ??

 

[gangsta_rap]

At most we might get some spares from these birds through a 3rd party. Even though the Israelis put business first and politics second..even they aren't dumb enough to give us anything sensitive from the F-16I variant.

 

[Liquidmetal]

hahahahaha BS news.

 

[Trailer23]

These fighter aircraft can be re-sold to Pakistan via a third country (Jordan anx Egypt) and I don't think the US will mind.

All possible.

Look, i'm not sure as we're not certain if they'll ever be able to fly again.

We all know the !sraelis have been trying to get rid of 'em & even made an offer to Croatia over a year back. A deal that didn't go through as: US State Department objected to the transfer of sensitive technologies from Israel to Croatia

"Such transfer packages are not uncommon between US allies, but the State Department and Pentagon keep a close watch on the specific technologies changing hands, and any potential loss of intellectual property for US defense firms, which was a major concern in this case."

76*
Have heard 13 are not BVR Capable

Hope we get our hands on them and upgrade all our fleet with V standards

F-16 ADF's are fully BVR capable. There is a reason why we stationed them at Bholari. Otherwise they were no good there. It is only the radar is a bit old which makes it prone to jamming and other eventualities.

Yes, it’s possible. USA want better relationship between Israel and Pakistan.

@Mangus Ortus Novem

Need your thoughts here buddy,

Remember when Habibi @Khafee mentioned of F-16s, and he mentioned it’s possible connection as his speculation of visit of PMIK and COAS to USA, has it got anything to do with establishing political relations with israel?

We thought that it might have to do something with kashmir issue or CPEC but israel Pak connection is also a possibility and I don’t think that would be bad, it would be a good deal to get our F-16 B72s, V upgrades, Used F-16s, and vipers if it comes at cost of establishing relations with Israel?

Even if they detach sensitive components, Pakistan will be more then happy to buy them because they can be upgraded with the help of Turkey.

Khafee was hinting at something bigger... and since, there is this NewGameOfChicken started in the ME... let us see how it pans out...

FatLady needs to sing first before F Sola saga ends... a lot is going on... and elegant Mrs. Wells is coming too... OrangeBall going to GanguDaesh in Feb....

I guess Khafee is too busy these days with all the stuff going on in his part of the world..to grace us here...

Sepculation on my part would be that...speculations!

Mrs Wells ?
