Kill Switch Killed in Kamra

[LeGenD]

@MastanKhan Its hard for them to swallow that their front like fight can be easily compromised. People are uploading random pic to prove their credibility or make a point, non of which address the actual issue. While my post being deleted. Nonetheless I have another Show for the gullible Folks.

Jadoo guys.

Dear Sir,

This F-16 variant was transformed into a UAV (QF-16) - a testing article.

FYI: https://www.popularmechanics.com/military/aviation/a29847417/f-16-drone/

They have done this before to F-104 variants.

FYI: https://www.i-f-s.nl/f-104-miscellaneous/qf-104-drones/

These measures are a part of American military experiments and testing regime.

This has nothing to do with EXPORT articles.

Nothing to worry about.

I know what it is. It’s a technology demonstrator for those, who should be concerned.

You are trying too hard to make your point.....here's something that the world is more familiar with.

 

[Windjammer]

It only takes double digit IQ to draw simple conclusion. Highly secured and guarded Iran centrifuges plant was remotely attacked via Stuxnet virus.

But American made and maintained F-Sola is immune to everything because someone buddy employed by PAF said so. Welcome to

No worries, when the first F-16 gets jeopordised by the so called kill switch....we will change buddies.

Bro,

What is the point of developing aircraft EA-18G Growler if a cyber-weapon can deliver results for any contingency?

Enemy don’t always fly US made F-16s.

Exactly. I asked the same thing last year while sitting in a Block 52 cockpit at Shahbaz. And i received the same reply from the OC. I was showed some measures which were used by US, but it was nowhere near like some would say...kill switch.

Thats me sitting in the cockpit asking alot of questions, as usual. Later, the F-16 and DB-110 simulators was much more fun.

Did you try pulling that Black/Yellow handle thingy between your legs. Heard its fun thing to do...

Posting this thread based on the above image which was specially shared by the operator.
For many years, we were led to believe that PAF can not use it's F-16s without American approval, well 27th Feb. 2019 saw that myth shattered, however, the naysayers weren't finished yet and kept insisting that the PAF's new Block-52 are constantly monitored by US Personal who will not allow these jets to be deployed operationally other than from their dedicated home base. Also even the PAF Airchief's ride for 23rd March is thoroughly monitored before being allowed to operate from elsewhere. Well, i guess people in PAF do also come across these ludicrous claims. The above image should put an end to these misconceptions. As can be seen it's a fully armed PAF F-16 Block-52 operating out of Kamra.

The Vipers are monitored, especially the Block 52+ aircraft but not in the same desired manner as the myth that's out there.

If a Pilot can land F7 PG and decades old old mirages on those motorways then landing and F16 should be a childs play. When war comes knocking then everything is a fair game.

F-16 is very easy to fly, tough to master for what it has been made for and what it can be employed as.

That press conference was the biggest blunder they made. Now it seem ISPR claim JF 17 being used was on purpose. It was to make India accept downing of SU 30 which they did by showing that Missile.

Didn't think of that possibility. Former DGISPR is a damn genius.

Let us worry about that....You will be safe in America.

Enemy don’t always fly US made F-16s.

And PAF also doesn't entirely rely on F-16s either.

 

[StormBreaker]

Didn't think of that possibility. Former DGISPR is a damn genius.

Asif Ghafoor is far better than Asim Bajwa or the current one (always forget his name).

 

[SABRE]

But we can't integrate Cruise Missiles in it do we ???

I doubt anyone here, or at least ones who participate here openly, has ever seen the agreement on F-16 beyond State Department's announcement. But what I am sure of is that the agreement does not restrict Pakistan from using the F-16 in any manner or form, be it against India. It is, however, likely that Pakistan's right to modify F-16 is restricted. In fact, I am sure this is the case. Modifications may only be possible under US supervision or under the US approved third-party partners like Turkey. The US provisions and regulations would, however, still apply to third-party partners. Under such provisions, I don't think we can integrate Ra'ad on F-16, especially with the US observers hovering over our heads. The observers are only there to ensure that the technology does not fall into wrong hands (i.e. China) and that no tampering with the technology takes place.

I don’t think we were taking about monitoring, while there is a possibility of engine data and other technical parameters might automatically be sent to manufacture or other 3rd party or can be download every maintenance cycle but we were busting this mind set, my buddy In Airforce assured me after personally checking the F-16 that there is no hiden Red Kill Switch.

This is so sad, the vast potential of our VIPERS is compromised because of these silly US provisions.

 

[Armchair]

...and of course we shouldnt forget that episode involving AMRAAMS...that engagement between Turkey and Greece...

I don't know that one, would you Sir, kindly oblige?

If USA bugged Iraq's printers (among other things), while it was allied to it against Iran, it is perfectly possible for the US to have bugged the PAF F-16s. Many subsystems and components are sealed, and cannot be opened in the F-16. And there are millions upon millions of lines of code.

Malaysians found that their F-18s didn't function as effectively, and had a host of troubles against Singaporean combat aircraft. I wonder how that happened and how professionals can ignore all of this info.
