F16 A, Perhaps upgrade to block40 standardNumber 9 Squadron so what fighter jets are in that squadron F 16 or Mirages
Why PAF is not participating with JF17..?
I mean it is a good opportunity for PAF to determine its true capabilities.
no answer yet!!!!!!!
@PShamim: please sir! tell me why not JF17?
sir their is no 50 block i heared of may be it is block 50/52 are you sure it is block 40
Block 15, or Block 15MLU will be flown to US if PAF gets the green light for Red Flag this year, no block 40s at all of course as PAF doesnt operate them. Don't know about the Block 52s though.

2 questions re your comment " It already has been answered , the JF-17 cannot Data Link with E-3 Awacs and other control measures used in Red Flag moreover the JF-17 has very little A2A capability as for now .
Are yopu saying Thunder has no datalink capability
Thunder has no Strike weapons. Its only recognised armanent are chinease
SD10 & pl9 a2a missles. In other words at the moment it has no laser guided strike weapons at all.
India took the SU30MKI with a non western data link system it was fine WHY NOT THUNDER.
My guess is the current Thunders stil very basic capability and RED FLAG IS VERY TECH strong environment.. Hence PAF will send its best planes the F16a/b/c to the excercise
