PAF F16-Blk70 possibly coming - TO BE CONFIRMED

[untitled]

only one tech doesn't make F-16 a true stealth jet but reduce RCS F-16 @member.exe

Isn't that good enough for you for an aircraft that was not built for stealth from the ground up?

 

[GreyHat]

So i have a question?
It is more or less looking like that Pakistan will go for F-16V
And of course we are not economically strong, So does that mean that J10-c will be postponed for a while?

I'm not fucking Indian dumbass. I have the right to express my views within reason even if you don't agree with them. **** off my ***.

Hy mind your language ... sorry if they r views then they r really stupid and kiddish ...

And u r not expressing your viws but trolling

Imagine this was true.....India the international man child would throw an absolute hissy fit like a true titty baby as it usually does. I would love to see that happen on that basis alone.

Sadly not to put a dampener on this silly thread, a decision like that would change the dynamics of the last 20 years of US indo-Pacific strategy. I can understand and accept for zulus and Block 52 but bot block 70, it just seems too far fetched...then again this is trump your darling with, anything can happen! Hope it's TRUE only because it would be so funny to watch bhangees self implode

Washington (AFP) - Washington on Friday approved $125 million worth of support for Pakistan's F-16 warplanes, and also $670 worth of support for India's C-17 transport planes.

Approval to support US-built aircraft for the two south Asian rivals were approved by the US State Department, and announced simultaneously by the US Defense Security Cooperation Agency.

The approval for technical and logistics support for Pakistan's F-16s comes just days after Prime Minister Imran Khan met with US President Donald Trump at the White House.

SD-10's were sent from PLAAF inventory.

SD-10s or did you mean PL-15s? We already had SD10s

The Question is: "Why is the US reaching out to the Pakistan?"

2) India - I told someone from the west, a year ago, "building India up against China, is like making the village idiot your sheriff"

He laughed it off, but he quietly made a note, scribbled away, while looking at me straight in the eye.

India's incompetence hasn't gone unnoticed, neither has them becoming an economic threat to the US. To contain them, and move Pak away from the Chinese camp, to whatever extent possible. These are the two goals.

The US has a list of some 10~20 companies that are critical to National Security, LM, Boeing Raytheon, Cisco etc. Sensitive data has been steadily flowing to India, China, Russia, Israel, courtesy of Indians. The deep state has realized its folly, AND no president will work against the deep state.

The trade balance being lopsided, doesn't help them either.

This makes sense, I would figure the US-Indian alliance will come to an end at some point. The US has sold India pretty sophisticated hardware and yet, India has not returned the favor. US extended India certain privileges in missile technology and even intel sharing, communication networks. It has not confronted China and has not even come close to being the "hedge" that the US wanted it to be. This idea was probably spoon-fed to US policy makers by the Indian lobby and scholars of Indian-origin working at thinktanks. It's similar to the illegal Indian job network here in the US - they promote their own Indian resumes to jobs and throw competent non-Indian resumes in the trash. It ended up wasting a decade of US time, money, and they foolishly gave up so much of their technology in exchange for nothing. India has failed the US in confronting China. The Indians literally think that they can extract maximum benefits from US due to their lobbying and do nothing in exchange.

Now the US is moving towards doing the confrontation itself with its own weapons. Hence, you see the push towards hypersonic missiles, laser weaponry, long range rockets and missiles for island warfare. India has no place in the calculus.

This deal if it materializes(in combination with JF17 block III) for sure will balance out IAF's Rafales and considerable numbers of Su30MKI and Mirage 2K. I assume the immediate "payment" would be ensuring a smooth exit of US from Afghanistan and helping install a government(Afghan Taliban...or maybe Afghan Taliban in coalition with some other powerful factions) that will cater to US interests in Afghanistan to an extent. This is fine from a security perspective (Pak's security perspective)...as long as India's designs of having a second front for Pak(from Afghanistan) is neutralized.

I say install a friendly/stable government in Afghanistan...that will sign an official agreement putting to rest idiotic crap like Durand line claims and Pushtunistan...making the borders permanent. Bring peace and stability to Afghanistan and the region, ensure that Afghan territory isn't used for anti US activities(payment to US), give a few contracts also as payment(from Afghan government to US companies, Chinese companies, etc. for development in various sectors)...basically all the parties vying for influence that was destabilizing the region can come together and take a piece of the pie. I know it's a rather corrupt way of doing things...but it's the lesser of the two evils. At least this way ppl in Afghanistan can enjoy some peace and prosperity and Pak can be worry free on it's Western front. This would be a strategic victory for Pak(neutralizing Indian plans that were decades in the making) and it would give a sort of victory to the US too(making sure Afghanistan isnt used as a base for anti US activities).

Agree completely.

This is a major win in the short to medium term.

The real issue is years down the line vis a vis China.

 

[GriffinsRule]

Hahahahahahahaha

Typical jurno talking cluelessly about the defence related news

 

[Sabretooth]

I pray that this deal materializes and strengthen our armed forces.

Alhamdulillah PAF is one of few airforces that can handle and properly utilize the capabilities of F-16s. In short, PAF is worth having these birds.

In a not so distant future, if a Block-70/72 brought down a Rafale, French, like the Russians, would be cursing the Indians and Americans.

There might be a possibility that this favor to Pakistan is a punishment to India for sticking with S-400.

It seems that in the future, the PAF fleet will mostly consist of F-16s and Thunders so upon the retirement of Mirages, if there is any plan for the induction of delta-winged strike weapon as a replacement then I think J-10 C could be a wise choice

I don't think that's an issue. China and US don't have to be "rivals" in terms of Afghanistan...in a twisted way they can do what European powers once did to Africa in Berlin conference...everyone got a piece of the pie. Like I said before it's not perfect nor fair to the ppl of Afghanistan but it is lesser of the two evils. If u trace back the history of current Afghan mess u will see that it leads back to the era of cold war. World powers vying for influence and a government bowing down to them. It included US, USSR, and by extension Pak(being in US camp and anti USSR) and Afghanistani ppl...nowadays China is also involved in the mix...and though USSR doesn't exist...still Russia has interests there. So instead of all this infighting...might as well install a government that is not hostile to anyone but is rather good for business. Installing puppet governments isn't something new both, US, Russia, and even China and Pak have some experience in this. This puppet government of sorts can throw US, China, Russia all kinds of contracts to develop infrastructure, power grid, Telecom services, etc. Afghanistan can be connected to projects like TAPI and CPEC and all can rejoice in this cruel twisted "peace" of sorts. IMO it's much better than the average Afghani man struggling to survive in a hostile environment.
