PAF F16-Blk70 possibly coming - TO BE CONFIRMED

[TsAr]

Even if your leaks comes true, those F-16s will not be able to fill gap of required maritime role fighter jet, as AShM and ARMs are not allowed on PAF F-16 it AShM is allowed then Harpoon don't have good range which Chinese or Russian AShM offer.

So Su-30SM/35 still have a place in PAF/PN.

Having more F-16 would free up JF-17 for other roles that would also include maritime role

You think any govt can control Jihadis pouring into Pak, all the way from the Atlantic Ocean to the South China Sea?

THIS is the biggest threat to the Yahud wa Hanood.

Because of a media blackout, people are unaware of how the Muslim world is simmering, at the atrocities in Kashmir.

We fought those Jahadis , we supported air campaigns again them in Afghanistan. So armed forces of muslim countries are the first line of Israeli defense ... Jahadis have to kill muslim soldiers first before attacking Yahood wa Hanood. Sad but this is the reality

 

[New World]

Before EFT.

So, another wet dream.

Have you informed PAF of this?

and PAF replay would be, Go and say that to PN, They control the waters..

You are right, but you need to think more along these lines, and not on the forum.

Finance.

This is why PN needs an independent Air Arm, 3 Sqdns min of twin heavies.

When Zardari and Shareef are at the helm, don't expect anything..

PAF won't allow them to have 3 sqd of twin engine heavies...

Absolutely! The lost years.

Two issues plague this line of thought, CapEx and OpEx. If CapEx is taken care of, OpEx still remains an issue for PN.

 

[Windjammer]

@Windjammer What is the Story?
Can you pls confirm this news, i heard US renewed the technical support only.

That is about as much as i know.

 

[New World]

Absolutely! The lost years.

Lost decade for PAF same as 1990s.

percentage of PN share in budget should be increase to atleast 20%.

The economic stability is a decade away if not more. Even a situation where we do not need repeated IMF bailouts is yet 5 years away. The last 2 Governments have caused huge damage to the exchequer. It will need time to recover.

Then it is every Pakistani's job to work hard to make sure that corrupt politicians, bureaucrats and civil servants suffocate to the point where they would either conform to the State Law, or leave the country permanently. Never allow corruption to take root in Pakistan, ever again.

Could not agree more. But on our higher ups and their philandering it is a case of/:

They know that already.

JFT is already on that role only problem is the range and station time, for that More assets need to be deployed.

So if we get JH-7 which aircraft do you think would be escorting them? The answer I think is JF-17. So why not spend the amount upgrading and manufacturing more JF-17's rather then waste it on JH-7

 

[Tipu7]

F16 Blk70 is too expensive, plus USA is hesitant in providing 'top notch' variant to PAF.
PAF itself is not much inclined towards Blk70, instead it wants surplus airframes and V Kits.
As mentioned by @Khafee, it's sad how PAF lost the deal of EFT, blame is on finances as well as decision making entities.
Su35 is still in sight.

PAF / PN are not wasting any amount on JH-7s, its just keyboard warriors of PDF who want an old relic for Pakistan.
