Suprised even after the programs we joiend we have not yet recovered the loss of 40-60 F16 that got stuck in pipeline and we got wheat in return
Even after program was open we only get 18 or so odd deliveries
Was it not Nawaz that was in power back them also in late 80s
Its not just the money or political situation that is/was the problem; it was the balance of power in South Asia / power gap between Pakistan and India which super powers wanted to keep.Suprised even after the programs we joiend we have not yet recovered the loss of 40-60 F16 that got stuck in pipeline and we got wheat in return

The current sales of Ex-RJAF F-16 a/c are pretty useful for PAF; instead of going for new 18 Bk52s PAF would prefer going after old airframes; which are generally less expensive and could be modernized to MLU standard in future (IF need arise).
i really like your comparison of block 40 and 52 brother can u compare su 30 MKI with f16 block 52 in term of weapons ability avionics and fighting capability like u compared above i know its been 50% off topic but still require your expert opinionMLU's are in terms of internal avionics 85% of the Block-52's.(the block-52 mounts the AIDEWS internally).
MLU's are in terms of weapons ability 100% of the block-52's.
MLU's are in terms of airframe 80% of the block-52s.
JF-17 is in terms of avionics some 70% capable as a block-52.
In terms of flight capability it is 80% of the block-52.
In terms of design sophistication it is 50% of a block-52.
Hi everyone
certain technical questions i want to ask regariding F16 in PAF .I hope i can get my answer here as it is the dedicated thread regarding F16 so why create another thread to ask such questions
1) Does F16 in PAF have EW suite with DRFM jamming tech ?
2) Does F16 in PAF have provision to carry external mounted IRST pod?
3) Does F16 in PAF have plans for AESA radar in their MLU in future?
4) DOES F16 in PAF have been cleared to carry SD10A BVRAAMS or any prospect to carry foreign based BVRAAM missiles .
5) Does F16 in PAF have any passive based MAWs (Missile warning suite) .
So PLZ be kind enough to spend some time to answer my queries
thanks in advance
CHEERS
1) Yes.
2)Yes, more like a FLIR
3)Not sure, maybe, maybe not. The APG68s are very good.
4)F-16s carry AIM120 AMRAAMs. SD10s are for JF-17s. No need to carry any other BVR missile, when AIM120 can do the job well. There is a reason why the US Navy and US Airforce use it as the standard BVR missile.
5) Yes.
Used the search function next time.
Thanks
