I see you recently joined this forum. The answer is yes. But you should also do some research on here before posting such basic questions. There is plenty of information if you cared to look. In fact, the same thread you posted, have plenty of details and even pictures on this subject.

I knew that they had BVRMs but other members in this forum were stating that the USA doesn't allow Pakistan to use Aim-120 AMRAAM on their F-16s

That's not the question you asked in your previous post. But the US provided AMRAAMS to Pakistan. These were given to an ally to protect themselves. These can be used to defend Pakistan obviously.

Use your common sense please. Pakistan purchased 500 AIM120s.....if Pakistan cannot use them on F-16s, where do you expect them to use it? On board C130s?

Hey not a bad idea mate.

If you had say a couple of larger radars data linked on two jets and then a tertiary link back to the C130, you can probably take out an entire squadron through C130 being a missile truck IMO. The radars on the planes upfront have to be big to be able to target 6-8 jets at a time. And you keep the C130 in the back and still protect it. Not a bad idea.

Or a basic radar plane like the Erieye (not all features and associated expensive items, just a large radar), with a C130 behind with missiles can probably fire missiles at 20-40 jets depending upon the Radar's ability. Still not bad.

- The new major capabilities currently being integrated via M6.5/M7+ include GPS inertial navigation set (GPS/INS) updates to improve targeting accuracy and GPS security, AIM-120D, joint mission planning system (JMPS).

- M7.2+ Minor Tape is currently in early stages of program planning, candidate definition and test HW procurement to incorporate DoD mandates such as Airborne Dependent Surveillance Broadcast (ADS B-Out) as well as other Combat Air Forces (CAF) candidates including color display and Advanced Defensive Electronic Warfare (EW) System coordination

- OFP M-tapes are updated continually to integrate new weapons, targeting pods, improved avionics. M6.2+ has entered development test and evaluation (DTE) and is scheduled to field in FY 2014. M6.5+/M7+ is in Phase III development with M6.5+ common candidates to include Universal Armament Interface (UAI) updates and Embedded GPS inertial (EGI) updates and M7+ candidates to include AIM 9X Block II.
