Need of F16 Block 60 in PAF

[volatile]

J10 B/C VS Block 60 would be good comparison

 

[araz]

F16 Bl.60s is not going to happen so forget it. We dont need another different version with its spares and the headache of maintianing it. We may be able to get a few more Bl.52s and hopefully at some stage upgrade the radar. the game changer is not going to be the radar it is going to be the AIM9X which we should try to get /. However with the current mood of Congress we are not getting jack from them. So it is all a bit of a fart against a wind storm.

Only thing we can do now with blk 60 is window shopping

 

[Sipahi]

SU 35 is better option, we should invest in it if we can.

 

[C130]

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

Sukhoi-35 , more beautiful machine , unless we get TOT for F16 Block 60 , just too expensive of plane

There are eight different aircrafts in indian airforce (Mig-21, 23, 25, 27, 29, Su-30, Mirage-2000, Jaguar). PAF has 04 different aircrafts (F-7, Mirage 3/5, JF-17, F-16) in its inventory. So at least two additional different types of aircrafts like Su35 and J-10C should be inducted by PAF.

People are forgetting that the PAF does not have the $$$$. End of story.

As for the SU-35, please be serious folks. Two such threads have already been shutdown on it.

There is neither the need nor the possibility of F-16's block 60 for PAF. PAF is not interested in acquiring anymore F-16's with " KILL SWITCHES ". PAF is on the right track in acquiring Aircraft which come with Transfer of Technology from China.

The next acquisition would be 5th Generation Fighter Aircraft.

The fifth generation fighters like F-35 and PAKFA are having teething problems and we need J-10 in the interim before J-31 is operational.

Block 60 no longer available because radar out of production, its been replaced by Block 61 which uses the same radar, as F-16V upgrades.

UAE upgrading all Block 60s to 61.

What PAF needs is aircraft equipped with IRST for AA combat with radars off and electronic jamming environment..

Both JF-17 Block-3 and J-31 are supposed to have IRST

Mig 23 And Mig 25 have been retired and are no longer in service with IAF.

Hope our relation improves with U. S.A . We should Try to get f18 super hornets from Australia as they already ordered 72 F35s.
This is first flight of Australia in F35 "2014 video".

Australian F18s

Disagree.
When F22 was in developmental phase, it was stated that F16,F15,F18 will be obsolete by 2000.
But it didn't happened.
F16 emerged as blk 50/52
F15 as silent eagle
F18 as super hornet
These three plate forms are so decent and so balanced that they can easily evolve with time....
All these three will continue to rule the skies after 2020 If there new blocks continue to emerge.........

These jets you mention for only export usa dont buy any more of these since 2005 only upgrade existing us moving forward with new fighter jet how long we keept in this sick mental block

SU 35 is superior aircraft it is most superior and complete fighter jet compare to all know stealth jet it will destroy them with ease

SU 35 will kill rafale and eurofighter in sky

And it is twin engine with thrust vecoring price tag which it has and what it offers balanced compare to rafale and EF

For Pakistan, F-16 is the symbol of national pride and is still very potent aircraft. However Su-35 is equally good and should be procured due to its long range capability.

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

 

[Foxtrot-Bravo]

Probably, F-16 B60 would be on back step now.

SU-35 and improvements for JF-17 Thunder are in priority.

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+.
