^^ SgAF for 24 F-15 SGs too.
They stationed/trained at the same at Indian Bases too?

So you are saying Indians getting to know F-16 INSIDE OUT ? Oh SNAP.....

In early 2000, an RAF Air chief, visiting Pakistan suggested the EF for the PAF, which was still under sanctions.
ACM, Tanvir.M.Ahmed along with some senior PAF pilots visited UK and had a look at the Typhoon. Whatever other drawbacks may have been in place but the voice command system certainly didn't prove convincing.
The F-16 is 30 years old.. one would hope to know the inside and out of it by now.
So why is Pakistan procuring more of F-16 then. I am surprised..
Nope. they just go, stand in front of it, take pictures and come back
Only F-16s are stationed in Kalaikunda AFB. No F-15s. Maybe after the lease was signed, IAF specifically requested for the F-16s because these are the same model as the PAF are inducting. Not sure of this though.
Hi, If you would see my starting post, I have tried to keep it as neutral as possible. Even there is a big question mark at the end of the title. I could have sensationalized the thread but this is what i refrain from. The purpose was to discuss any likelihood and its outcomes. Thanks to some school going members, the thread was derailed ( I also take the equal responsibility). I qouted the source explicitly as i was not aware of the authenticity of comment. But its really surprising that this speculation is very concrete i.e. he speculated the expected actual numbers rather than using an ambiguous term like some, many or a few which is indicative of his confidence. This made me post his comment here. I am always glad to be corrected if I am deficient in some area.
....and the ACM surprisingly stated that the PAF was not 'ready' for the technological superior Typhoon!!!?

Don't let wishes become horses! The lease agreement (if that is the right word) was signed between the IAF and SgAF; because of two reasons. One, that India and Singapore are moving towards much closer relationships because of some changing geo-political equations in SE Asia and Singapore's discomfort with the extending reach of some powers. Secondly, Singapore has very little air-space for its own air force to fly and exercise in. This has been made available by India in the air-space around Kalaikunda. While something can be read into the choice of Kalaikunda as the air-base rather than say Jamnagar, not much else needs to be read into it.But suffice it to say, Indo-Singaporean co-operation is on the up and there is a reason for that.
