Pakistan F-16 Discussions 2

Yes they will if we get all of our embargoed F-16's back. :rolleyes:
total 28 f-16s were embargoed. we recieved 14 of them in last couple of years. and instead of other 14 aircraft, we recieved grains, soybeans, etc, from US.
so basically US dont owe us any more f-16s...

Its not a hidden truth.

Mirage ROSE will serve atleast 5-6 more years along with F-7PG,while the non ROSE mirages and other non PG F-7's will gradually be replaced by jf-17

Non PG or Non ROSE waloon ke mauj hoo jaee gee. :cheers:

not quite correct - the money in question was US$650m which was advance-payment for the F-16s.

350m was utilised to purchase 'other weapons' and 300m was returned in soybeans.....meanwhile 911 took place, the sanctions were removed - no one wanted these 28 F-16s parked in the desert - not NZ, not Philiapines - they were 'transferred' to USAF and USN - in 2006 Bush admin 'agreed' to give back the a/c as a sign of 'good-will' - USAF released the 14 a/c - the USN did not - in essence the US still owes us 14 F-16s - they offered blk-25/30/40 a/c parked in AMRAC but the PAF rejected these mounts due to their 'airframe stress' - in other words they were too old - so now come in the Norway F-16s as the US has given 'NoC' for PAF to negotiate with the NoAF - further new F-16s are possible but we have to come up with our own funds which looks 'bleak' at this time.
