Pakistan F-16 Discussions 2

Do they have the APG68?

APG 66 V I. These were upgraded twice between 1997 and then around 2002 if memory serves me correctly. Some of these may already have been through STAR. But not all of them. APG 66 I & II (or Block A & B) are not bad radars with detection range a little north of 150 Miles with both, Semi-Active Sparrow and AMRAAM capability active.

Turkey Delivers Upgraded F-16s to Pakistan

ANKARA — Turkey has delivered the last four F-16 fighter aircraft it upgraded for the Pakistani Air Force, the company tasked with the work said Sept. 2.

Turkey’s aerospace powerhouse, Tusas Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI), said in a written statement that it concluded the Pakistani F-16 upgrade program by delivering the last four aircraft to the Pakistani Air Force.

The program involved avionics and structural modernization for 41 Pakistani F-16s.

TAI, which assembled F-16 fighter jets in Turkey in the 1980s and 1990s, today manufactures parts for Boeing, headquartered in Chicago, and Stratford, Conn.-based helicopter-maker Sikorsky. The company also participates in the multinational JSF program and the A400M, known in Turkey as the Future Large Aircraft.

TAI also has upgraded scores of Turkish F-16s. In a more ambitious program the company has been designing an indigenous Turkish fighter aircraft.

Last December, TAI also won a contract from the Turkish government for the serial production of two versions of the Hurkus basic trainer aircraft, which it developed. ■

The quality and performance of the program was highly appreciated by Pakistan Air Force and has been valued as the precedent of success and cooperation between Pakistan Air Force and TAI for the future projects. This appraisal will also substantiate the collaboration between two countries for the future.
