Pakistan F-16 Discussions 2

. . .
Pakistan Air Force owns around 100 F-16s. But currently how many are serving, isn't disclosed.

Not 100..
consider that many are now abroad or in the process of being sent for MLU's.
actualy numbers may vary from 40-50 at any time till MLU is complete.
Then it will be around 70+.

Let's not get too frank on the forum. I know a range of numbers, of how many are serving but I cannot disclose.

Something however.. are fairly open.
American items have very detailed serial numbers and records.. hard to hide or spoof.
for eg.. these are all the Block-52s Pakistan has

Oscar.

I precisely wrote 'owns' not 'operates'.
Hope you get the difference.

Okay....

Tell me what's so important if we reach 100+ numbers of F-16s? We are still far behind, many countries- Egypt, Turkey, Israel has more than 200 numbers.

I think, 60-75 are good enough to save the country from the raids....It means, our pilots will have to work harder protecting us despite small numbers of F-16s.

This is soooooooo confusing. Can anyone tell me how many F-16s we have in total? Is it 100? 80? 60? ?????????:hitwall:

45 Block 15 Which will be upgraded soon
14 Block 15 We receive on 13-02-2012 2nd hand overhauled
18 Block 52+ we receive all of them on 06-02-12

Total F-16 = 77

Might be some chance of getting more 18 F-16 Block 52+ soon

wrong again we get total 40 in peace gate 1 and peace gate 2

1983 peae gate-1 we get 2 f-16a and 4 f-16B

letter we get from 1983 to 1987 peace gate-2 we get 26 f-16A and 8 f-16B

SO total was 40 that time but then

8 of them got crashed we have left ? 32

14 we get embargoed so we have ? 46 at 2007 but then f-16 crashed # 92729 and it was F-16A Block 15AQ OCU pilot Squadron Leader Saud Ghulam Nabi, was sadly killed

so at 2009 we have 45

after we get 18 new we have ? total 63

enjoy if we got 14 more from USN and if we got 18 new then we have this dream come true :D

those 14 are nt received yet
and option for more 18 f-16 is on table
making total 95

I think Pakistan should also go for Optional 18 F16s. Pak pilots have good hands on F16. Pak should continue for the policy of minimum deterrence.

]Do you know did PAF start to hide the serial? To keep the total number of Vipers classified[/B]. ;)
A hint. There are more F-16s serving PAF than we know. ;)

You have a old habit (or fetish) of first disclosing the "chat pata" rumor and then hiding behind the yada yada sources and do some research even before disclosing your "super duper" news's.
