su-30 mkis are waiting ............

Please don't troll using foolish statments as you just did sorry no ego booster for you here ....

US has said in past that sanctioning the F-16s was a big mistake. Now they may be making a big show of their support by sending US central command General David Petraeus and US air chief Norton A Schwartz They are expected to arrive on June, 26 and will participate in the special ceremony to be held at Shahbaz Air base.

Never has US sent its highest ranking military brass for a handing over ceremony for F-16s

Sir the original number to be delivered in june were 4 aircrafts but now as the news are coming it seems to be 3 aircarfts to be delivered tomorrow so were did the 4th one gone? mean wats the reason behind reducing the number from the original planned?

Also what about the options of 18 more. Is Paf exercising that option and going for total of 36 block 52 aircrafts or not?because wat we hearing are based on rumors no official source and if there is any there are lot of other complications

 

[M8R]

PAF is negotiating for 14 more new F16 Block 52 as well as 14 EDA F16 upgraded to block 40 per pakdef.info sources.Also Pentagon is trying to convince USN to release 7 F-16's which will be given free of cost to Pakistan.

 

[Luftwaffe]

Are you sure about F-15? because this does not make sense PAF has mastered F-16s would make sense about blk 60, but F-15??

 

[M8R]

Sorry that was a type - F16 EDA not F15 EDA.

WORLD RECORD

What does a 16 aircraft loop record set in 1958 have to do with the below statement?

Thanks. Comparing the RSAF with Pakistan is a joke.

3 F-16 fighter planes to be inducted in PAF fleet Tomorrow

Three F-16 Block 52 C fighter jets would be inducted in the Pakistan Air Force flee tomorrow (Saturday) for ensuring the country's defense and security. US would formally hand over these jets at a ceremony to be held on Sunday.
Defense authorities on Friday told that in the first phase US would hand over 3 F-16 Block C fighter jets to Pakistan that would be equipped with latest weapons and technology and a formal handing over ceremony in this regard would be held on Sunday.
Pakistani pilots would fly the three F-16 fighter jets from America. In the second phase Five F-16 Block 52 C fighter jets would be handed over to Pakistan in one and a half month. While overall a total of 18 fighter jets would be inducted in the PAF fleet by this year end.
The officials told that talks are on with US authorities for another 14 F16 Block 52 C jets and we are optimistic that US would provide us with these jets. After the induction of 18 F-16 Block C Jets the PAF fleet of F-16s would swell to 63.
The officials told that the fighter jets are equipped with modern technology and 8 Pakistani pilots have gotten special training from US to fly these planes. The planes are also equipped with BVR missile, electronic jammers and laser guided bombs.
The officials further told that PAF would fulfill its defense needs to ensure an impregnable defense of the country and fight against terrorism and country's defense capability would be substantially enhanced with the induction of these jets.
Defence sources also informed that these fighter planes will be kept at Shahbaz Airbase, which has been turned into a formal operation base, and Pakistan will utilize these planes for its operational objectives.

I'll also join the bandwagon.

where the hell is the 4th aircraft?

US has said in past that sanctioning the F-16s was a big mistake.

Sir, we can imagine that
it turned out ot be a blessing for Pakistan and China and for all those states, who will buy (in future) JF-17 thunders as an alternate to western a/c.

I have one more question; why not LM build F-16 with DSI.. same like J-10B!

 

[air marshal]

 

[BATMAN]

im pretty sure the pilot on rear seat is an USAF pilot

Why is he not wearing gloves?
i wonder if had washed his hands before touching this baby.

BTW... I remember reading some news yesterday, which mentioned.... next month we'll be getting 4MLUs!!
Is any one in position to confirm this?
