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

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.
Look, there are plenty of F-16's out there in the market that aren't as f'ed up these birds & don't carry the tag '!sreal'.

If IK Government were to even broker such a deal would be political suicide. The Mullah led by Mulana Diesel would come out on streets.

I say, lets just end the topic as there is NO Official word that we've even considered 'em - let alone approached the US regarding them.

You do realize that you are reacting to a B.S. story, right???

I'm actually reacting to our Members fantasizing about something that isn't possible (at all), but wanna keep the Topic going just because the word 'F-16' is attached to it.

Note: Norway is looking for someone to buy their F-16's & have already had some interests. Who knows...

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 am not saying that we have to buy those. I am only giving my opinion that it’s possible to get those via 3rd party. I am sure there are plenty of surplus F-16s available but all of them need USA approval. unofficial requirements is to get 18 to 36 of these.

We should try to get it. We should immediately start discussion in underground table. If Israel get good price, they will happily sell it. As Pakistan is not enemy of israel.

Can someone close this thread

I don't think U.S.A will mind it. It sounds funny but Israel = U.S.A or U.S.A = Israel.
Isreal is usa first alley and yet it blocked used f16 sale from isreal

Thats hiw difficult is to get used equipment sold as USA would want you to buy new

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!
BRO you bare talking about F16 Sales from Israel to Pakistan (both have no diplomatic relations). Intelligence agencies might have worked on some spectrum once or twice but how do you explain selling Fighters. F16I which are build on Israeli specification do u expect PAF Pilots to go to Israel for training.
As far as spares are concerned they will salvage these planes for their current fleet although F35 is in play and they might be no need for it.
