PAF F16-Blk70 possibly coming - TO BE CONFIRMED

[mingle]

News are circulating that Saudi arabia offer financial support for the purchase of 36 F-16s blk70 if we support them against Iran

It's fake News

And open up another front...hmm unless saudis get uncle sam and remove the iranian govt..no not worth it..
Diplomatically we should be on saudi side as clearly iran has remained pro indians
Behind the back yeah but no boots on ground

Who is sending boots on ground? Mention one country???

page 179 is almost finished.....

RAF's Tornados F3/ADV in back shelters now....may be good choice for stop gap arrangement....twin engine ..decent A2G capabilities and long endurance. Above all we might get 24 /36 nos. in cheap price tag.

UK, KSA, Italy and Germany have Tornadoes and most of them are retired...

NOTE: F-16 and Tornado were introduced in same year..

But the problem is we have mastered the f-16. we have overhaul facilities and whole infrastructure.

at the end of this video, AAM were installed over the wings of Tornado. is that possible to install AAM over the wings?

 

[AZADPAKISTAN2009]

F16 V deal would be a good offer but we will need some announcement and agreement announced the whole USA dialog failure in Afghanistan puts a downcast, however, Pakistan has done what we could to help bring an end to the crisis in Afghanistan

USA-Pakistan, have the same understanding on the matter, and F16V deal moves the relations back to normality

Release of Pakistan Army's Coalition Support Fund would be a great milestone

In last 6-8 Month it appears, that USA is finally appreciative of Pakistan's role, in general, to assist with Anti Terrorism efforts for the last 20 years

If stuff has been reported it must have been honestly discussed in all fairness and mutual understanding for peace in afghan region

That was Jaguar not Tornado.
Jaguar has over the wing rails for Aim9/magic aams

I think instead of depending on F16s we should diversify our fighter jets and get new more capable jets,f16 is not some invincible jet and after s400 and rafale it will be difficult to depend only on f16,in 1996 turkish f16 was shot down by mirage 2000 of greece so we should focus on other options also to better counter threats with low cost

Okay...

As discussed over a 1000 times in the past, what options do you have?
-Rafales
-Gripen NG
-EuroFighter
-and the Ruski trash.

New type (used) means we gotta start from scratch. Training (Pilots & Engineering), Spares, Weapons etc.

The reference you've given for the S-400, well it appears that even the mighty F-22 (Raptor) & the poor man's Raptor, the F-35 don't stand a chance against it. So that debate should be set aside.

As for the Rafale, it'll take India years to master it. They still haven't mastered the Su-30MKi - so good luck to 'em.

We on the other hand have mastered the F-16 for decades & upgraded versions of 'em are plenty for the next couple of decades.

i think mirage2000 is also good option for low cost instead of acquiring old f16s for high price,we should go for chinese stealth jets and indigenous double engine heavy version of jf17 if russia agree to manufacture jets in Pakistan we should go for su35,su34 or mig35

The production of mirage has been stopped. So,spares will be an issue.There are not many users of M-2000 like M 3/5. Old f-16s have options for upgradation.

 

[Yaseen1]

mirage 2000 may be used as temporary solution until our economy becomes better and many arab nations and india is operating this jets and india has used israeli weapon on it in balakot strikes so it seems flexible jet
