I think RJAF had them Mlued

 

[Adam_Khan]

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.

Compare that to the cockpit of an F.16 MLU.

Too boring and shabby...

Is this the Cockpit of the Block-15 ADF ?

Yeeesss.

Right, when I asked you to share pics of the F-16's cockpit, I was referring to the Jordanian acquired ones.

Not sure how many people are gonna pass that image (above) as the ex-Jordanian F-16's (now with PAF), but...I do know how to use Google Images (too).

You may be right that they aren't MLU'ed - just like that image you posted isn't the ex-Jordaian F-16.

Are they BVR capable ?

Yes but radars can be jammed

Jordanian cockpit is exactly the same as the one I posted,sat in it and seen it first hand.

ADF are ex Jordanian. There Radars are prone to jam as told by @airomerix

Jamming a radar is not a walk in the park. APG-66 is a 'relatively' older system and hence prone to forward jamming.

And these F-16s are known as 'khokhas'. Younger pilots are transitioning to 19 sqn for conversion. This has enabled 11 and 9 sqn to focus on combat and advanced training roles (such as ACES/CCS)

Training puts a lot of strain on the aircraft. These F-16s get all the beating and seasoned pilots proceed to other 3 squadrons later on.

It would be nice if we could more of these older F-16A/Bs from other countries.

Everything requires congressional approval.

The idea of additional used F-16 C/D's, used C-130J's, Ex Australian P-3's, release of Cobra Zulu's, warships was discussed with Ex Ambassador to Pakistan Cameron Munter at Global Strategic Threat & Response conference in Islamabad. FM Quraishi met with Munter a day before and it discussed to get the ball moving through congress which Munter hinted was a big challenge. Trump is not the problem, congress is.

current Congress is not hostile to Pakistan. They were running around IK like some groupies. But as it often happens, by the time Pakistan makes a decision, it will be too late.

True.
Pakistan lacks the ability to milk the situation.

It would be nice but used stuff requires only state department approval unless its big new system? If we get what U mentioned would be great leap farward between Pak US relationship along trade.

House might be OK with Pakistan, but the Senate is still full of the same old guys who gave us trouble re the 8 F-16s.

Unfortunately we don't have sunny Leone as our special envoy to warm their beds..
The naked truth.
