I think RJAF had them Mlued

I think most of our 1980's Era old F16 are block 15 and also MLU. If i am not wrong after MLU they are almost block 40 equal.Ex jordanian F16 i thnk they are not MLU. Forgive me if i said some thing wrong. Thanks

Avionics wise the Block 15 MLU's are almost equal to the Block 52's,only differences are in the airframe and engine.

Also the ex Jordanian aircraft are Block 15 ADF version so they're not MLU 'd.

What are the restrictions of ADF ?
Are they BVR capable ?

Yes they are BVR capable.

 

[aliyusuf]

What are the restrictions of ADF ?
Are they BVR capable ?

Yes they certainly can ... upto 6 AIM-7F's or AIM-120 AMRAAM's as per F-16.net.
These equipped the US Air National Guards for the Air Defence Fighter role.
What is moot, is that whether Jordan received these birds with the BVR capability enabled or not.

Those are Block-15 too but had the ability to carry Amraams even before upgrades. Got MLU upgrades too.

Buddy they're not MLU'd,they have the same old cockpit displays alongside the APG.66 radar.

So all F-16s of PAF are close or equal to BLK-52???

Alright man. Jeez.

I haven't actually climbed into one of 'em and taken a peek.

Like most (on PDF) - we're all getting information off the net.

But please, feel free to send us some pics of those Cockpit Displays and the APG.66 Radar.
