Need of F16 Block 60 in PAF

[waz]

the eft (tranche3+) is much better than the su35 its the most manuverable fighter in the world, yes it will have the f22 in a dogfight. pakistan current policy towards fighter jets is to have single engine jets (with some exception) so the j10b is a good possibility. the f16 block 60+ is not goint to happen it contain to many sensitive tech. and lets say hypothetically they get the f16 blk60+ it would be under the same conditions as the f16 blk 52+.

The EFT is a better craft than the SU-35. Anyway, there will never be any SU series plane in the PAF.

Lets not forget the EM tolerant fiber optic bus, that gives the Blk 60/61 quite an edge, over legacy systems!

Agreed. the eft is the ultimate fighter the su35 is good, but not good enough.

 

[Indus Falcon]

the only thing different on blk-60/61 is a more powerful engine, AESA radar, and advance EW suite

Bro these are not small "differences." They put the aircraft a whole generation apart! It's a good stop gap measure until a reliable and formidable 5th Gen platform can be inducted.

Not really!

well just because theres rumours that PAF is going to buy the su35 does not make it the best fighter in the world, and the EFT can only be a poster on the wall for PAF. but you need to face facts, reality. the eft is better.

Yaaar can you keep this pride till 2080
Answer is no F 16 has its era which is at the end now we have to open our eyes

Total fighter jets of the world are twin dngine jets

Countries like indonesia choose SU 30 over F 16 so get out of love affair of F 16

I never invest on F 16 if i get SU 35 and J 10

When F-16 first flies in 1976, some people were same saying that its era will end in 1990s, but still F-16 is here in better shape and with better weapons. It will still be potent uptil 2030 with block 70 80.....either in XL shape or other.

India has 230 Su-30s but their pilot still feeling uncomfortable in facing only 76 Pakistani F-16s. So if u have love for Su30, then its ur choice.

Today if F-16s were pulled out from PAF, then what will happen? Some knows well.

Well every logical & sane person on this planet knows PAF will never buy the SU35, irrespective of the rumors.

EFT is not the best aircraft out there! The cracks in the fuselage are just the tip of the iceberg! The technology minus the canards being fronted by the EFT today was there in the Blk60 10 yrs ago, if not more. Nonetheless, you are a good guy and I don't want to get into an argument with you. IF you say EFT is the best out there, all I will say is "you are entitled to your opinion"

talking about tranche 1 is not good for you. countries that operate the eft are selling them. the tranche 3a with an ea and tv will be better than the su35.

Nonetheless, you are a good guy

what makes you think im a good guy?

"you are entitled to your opinion"

fair enough, but im right though irrespective of your light concerns.

whats that?

 

[danger007]

Once our own fighter jet program gets AESA radar , which we will. After that we can evaluate the need for
investing more funds into Block 60 program.

The plane is too expensive with out TOT involved

When you have option for Sukhoi-35 and J10B , its very difficult to choose F16 Block 60

SU-35 is highly unlikely to happen...

Good guy - I've been reading your posts,

Tranche 3a - Compare that that to Blk60 (1st delivered in Sept 2004 - nearly 11 yrs old) IRST, AESA, EW suite etc what "additional" technology does it have, that the Blk 60 did not have in Sept 2004?

Oh and lets not forget the Tranche3a "normal electrical bus" compared to a Blk60's EM shielded fiber optic "light bus"!

What! you've been reading, wow, (please note that was rhetorical and irrelevant)

you need to understand the f16 blk60 is an export jet for the uae. so it will have the best tech ever on a f16 and most f15. but you're sort of then comparing european and american tech. which is better the european eft or the american f16 blk60. the its captor e aesa radar can look to some degree behind the jet the f16 does not have an infrared sensor.
also the air frame it self is what makes it better. it's speed, payload, range, maneuverability. and general performance is better.
