Yeh Quran hadees m nahi likha k f16 k ilava koi jahaz nae lyna chaehay

Don't we have no idea how we survived the 90,s?

 

[Pakistan Space Agency]

Yup. It just confirms Pakistan will not be adding a new fighter platform to it's fleet in the 2020s and project is the only solution for Pakistan's own, long-term medium-weight fighter aircraft needs.

This also confirms that the US wants to maintain military balance in South Asia.

Old news reported with added mirch masala.....Pakistan had already received 18 of the above and had the option for 18 more.

Still nothing finalized. Bit early to celebrate anything.
PAF interest in Blk72 (not 70) and US willingness to sell them is known from quite a time. Same goes for modification of existing F16 fleet.

O side note, numbers mentioned are incorrect, so is the upgrades under discussion. Nothing final yet.

We better be ready for US Sanctions...these F16s we have will be sitting on ground soon due to our increasing independence.
