PAF F-16 blk52 Strike Package

[cloud4000]

Lets get another squadron, and then start focusing on the replacement, The F-35.

You seem to have a fetish for the F-35. Can you explain why? And given the realities, can Pakistan even acquire new F-16s or even F-35s?

I've seen you posting in multiple threads about PAF acquiring F-35s. I just want to know why given that it will be difficult for PAF to acquire such an aircraft. PAF is more likely to acquire the J-31 than the F-35.

The J-31 is far from being ready for service, what gave you that idea?

Not his fault. It has to do with LM projecting PAF as a customer for the F35

PAF should try to convinced new establishment in Washington their contributin in WOT and get more F-16 for them. But what will happen if LM relocate their production line n India, getting any spare will be problematic.

PAF is more satisfied with the jf 17 thunder. PAF will modify them instead of going for f 16s.

Pakistan can get the F-16 Block 52s if they are willing to pay for it. The issue was always money, not the ability to acquire them.

The F-16 line proposed for India will be for India only. Existing F-16 operators will be supplied and supported by existing channels. For Pakistan, it will be LM in US and its Turkish partners. So no worries there.

we will go with more thunders.

Well I don't think such a high tech, high maintenance plane is needed for WOT you can do the job with F-7's A-5's & JF-17

Desiring has no limits. PAF has very clear intentions. They are focused on acquiring capability of indigenous Jet production beyond JF-17. Recent example is rejection of F-16 purchase as funds of 1 Bn $$ was not a big deal. Actual issue was dependence on USA.

PAF future plans are clear to everyone.
JF-17 production for PAF and export
F-31 will be available when we will need any platform equal to F-35.

The deployment of PAF Block-52s in the WOT has met phenomenal success. Achievements made by the latest version of the F-16 in PAF inventory has been beyond expectations. A fact also acknowledged by the USAF, whose commanders have unreservedly praised the PAF for selecting the package for the Block-52s and utilising it properly and in effective manner, this was also acknowledged by the leaders of the Israeli air force during the Red Flag exercise earlier this summer.

Jf 17 is better than f 16.
there are two ways to compare two aircrafts and so far jf 17 have outperformed f 16s.

I really hope you're being sarcastic about it..


Anyway just to confirm, how is JF 17 better than any version of F-16 that we have?? in what aspect? And if so then why is F-16 still our front line fighter and not JF17?

In his address at the ceremony, the Air Chief expressed satisfaction over the production and quality level of the JF-17 Thunder and said it is at par with the F-16 in terms of performance and operations.

Lol so this is what you came up with?? F-35 is not designed for dog fights , it does not need to get into one considering its radar system and stealth technology, it can shoot the other plane off from miles off distance before bothering about getting into a dog fight.. So a f35 Pilot basically never has to worry about being in a dog fight if ever , it is not designed for such purpose it is designed for long distance engaging ..

While F-16 is one of the best dog fighters of our generation cause of its high maneuverability and high turn rate ratio ...



So again, how is JF 17 better than F16?


Has it got better maneuverability than F16? Nope.


Has it got better weapons system than F16? Nope.


Has it got better BVR tech. than F16? Nope.


So you tell me 1 feature where it beats F16 that made you make such a abysmal claim that JF17 with Chinese avionics and lighter airframe is better than American F16 which is still considered as one of the best 4th Gen. platforms in the planet.

Let me put it this way that JF-17 is no doubt doing an excellent job for its intended role but fact is that it is still evolving, while F-16 has reached its age of maturity where every tiny bits have been put together and though price tag is much higher than Thunder, still its the most reliable aircraft with highest serviceability in the inventory of PAF. Again PAF is for sure placing its bets on future versions of Thunder as its comes without strings and we can do anything we like to do with it. Nonetheless F-16s have given phenomenal performance and much higher than expected results in WOT where the best part was almost no collateral damage. Not only WOT but may it be Soviet Afghan war, all those ops sentinels etc, F-16s have proved its mettle and that is why its the best loved combat steed right now.
