PAF F-16 mlu specifications and 36 blk 52+ prospects

[aziqbal]

Ok so here's the summary

31 out of the original 40 units remain
14 used F16 transferred

Total 45 units these were all MLU in turkey

13 ex-Jordan F16 A/B transferred not MLU

18 new F16 C/D bought
10 more F16 C/D bought

8 are now in on table but in dispute

So total F16

45 x MLU
13 ex Jordan
18 New
10 New

Total 86 units if we get 8 more new will be 94 units

Question is why PAF is going to upgrade entire fleet they only need to MLU 13 units in my opinion

 

[Manticore]

10 more F16 C/D bought

when did this happen?

 

[Quwa]

What has TAI got to do with CAPES? CAPES is the upgrade which includes AESA among other avionics, Some of which, If I remember correctly, Were also a part of our MLU upgrade.

Pakistan would try to get TAI to implement the actual upgrade. The kits and components are bought from the US (e.g. MLU), but the work to upgrade the F-16 is done in Turkey.

i have a hunch PAF is looking for Sabre package for existing F16 to make them relevant for next 20 years ,AESA is on the card ,value of the contract is aimed at 100 Mil $ for 76 Falcons very less probably 1.2 Mil per Plane this amount is for workin TAI and rest AESA package will be brought from US .But just hunch with the info in hand

 

[DESERT FIGHTER]

10 more F16 C/D bought

when did this happen?

These were the sanctioned F-16s that were returned to Pakistan.

The price per aircraft will go up if AESA is included in upgrade package.

I don't have the link ... But I remember @Imran Khan. Posting the news.

Those were the sanctioned ones... Not new 52+'s.

I thought they were the old ocu fighters, some reporter rehashing the old story --- So they were additional ones
