PAF F16-Blk70 possibly coming - TO BE CONFIRMED

[SQ8]

Lets see but I am completely skeptical of this report. Pak has much more challenges on the economic front with the noose of circular debt. Get that house in order first then health, education.


Knowing the US, they will agree to everything but then at last minute yank the carpet under the feet.
As noted before I am highly skeptical of such a report; Modi will make many trips to US to break it. They have a lot of sway on Congress.

Even on the 1% chance this is true, the funds don’t exist and wont for another 5-10 years to cover it.

i think america is ready to use CSF for this project. they do not want to give hard cash instead they want to give that money to their company to generate employment in their country. In that way Pakistan can get the birds and they can use their money indirectly for their own good.
Note: its just opinion

What You gonna do once your news turns out to be false ?

Interesting....

remember... Pakistan has officially discussed the Israelis Involvement in Parliament session...and it was reported by all media.

And in addition maybe some part of the money that is in the process of being recovered from the corrupt ex-PM, ex-President, ex-CM and other future corrupt big-wigs, as the part of their plea bargain, may also help foot the bill.

1)PAF will be getting 18~24 NEW Blk70 or 72's for now.

2)The current fleet will be upgraded to "V" specs. All of them.
Depending on the condition of the air-frame, some or all, will go through SLEP to 12k hrs.

This Breaking News, is a gift for all those people who stood by me, when I was unfairly banned. Thank You!

If AH-1Z are cleared then CSF would have been cleared.

PAF held the option open for second batch of 18 F-16 block 52+ under $5 billion Aid fund. If that translates to 18 F-16 block 72 with some $$$ to be paid above $5 billion then it's a massive leap of technology and capability without a major funding headache.

If PA is going ahead with support funding for AH-1Z then PAF would do the same.

US wants PAF to buy jets from them instead of somewhere else, preferably new F-16's

There are no If's and but's. Was Israel able to hide the F-16 crash due to Syrian SAM ? They tried very hard but media broke the news. Peddlers of unverifiable should present it as their opinion, not as a fact. Fake news is never a fact until an evidence comes forth to prove that news to be a face

Can you share the link for the bold part ?

If official sources were the criteria, 95 percent of threads and posts should be deleted. I'm quite surprised why people cannot have a decent discussion and some seem only able to make disdainful remarks, and add nothing to the conversation except illogical demands. If you don't believe this, just move on, walk away, take a break, step out the back, make a new plan, hop on another bus, drop of the key,... move on... turn the page... take a nap...

Hell has a better shot of freezing over than that happening.

The only reason why the US was offering India the (state-of the-art) F-21 was because it had certain similarities as the F-35.

But you can't be serious if you think that the US is gonna roll on the idea of India having both the S-400 & the F-35.

The US hasn't even offered them the F-35 to begin with. That is just speculation of various Think Tanks assuming that the US may take that route. Chances are slim-to-none.

The F-35 may be offered someday, 10-15 years by now. But, by then there's always the possibility that everyone (including PAF) will be operating Stealth Tech.

If the recent US/Turkey conflict has taught us one thing is that Nations have finally started to say 'No' to the United States.

India will order further Rafales that are just as good as the F-21/F-16 & get the S-400. Win-Win for them.

The only hurdle India now has to deal with is the CAATSA Act which will require diplomacy on a high level.

turkey is collobrating with germany for its design and UK for its avionics and weapons for its fighter program..in end if turkey plays its smart it might even join a JV with European countries or vice versa...

finances for fifth gen is goign to be a challenge..Pakistan IMO should look for a JV be it china(unlikley they dont need us) or turkey

What has happened to this forum? The OP got showered in likes, positive ratings and support over a claim with no source?

@Khafee

Dude, come on. You're a professional. You should acquire a source.
