This $1.1 billion figure is not correct..South korea is upgrading its136 F-16 block 52 with costing 1.1 billion dollars including AESA
Pakistan has 76 F-16s majority MLU upgraded or block 52. I think it won't cost more than 500 million dollars to be equivalent to block 60. It would take PAf to have 4.5 / 4.75 generation fighters. Share your thoughts
The Korea upgrade is in two phases. Phase 1 is estimated to cost about $200 million for contractor technical, engineering and logistics support services for the initial design. Phase 2 will include the Raytheon radar and updated avionics. The total bill for South Korea could be as high as $2.4 billion if all of the options are exercised.
