Pakistan F-16 Discussions 2

Floaing of MMRCA Tender clearly suggests that India do not have as much confidence in MKI as is being bragged.

Tender is dead. India buying only 36 Rafale off the shelf. OTOH increasing their SU30mki numbers.

India will definitely buy more Rafales

We never invest in a platform just for tokenism sake
The investment in infrastructure ; spares ; training ; maintenance ; weapons is a lot
So that must be utilised properly

That is how the system works in India ; every investment is made for a very long term

Rafale will be there till 2050

After a couple of years IAF will start MAKING noises about threats from China
write letters to PM ; and Govt of India will simply buy more

Su 30 MKI orders will depend on when FGFA is inducted

If FGFA is to be delayed then more MKI will be added up

For some reason, many of the images i upload seem to get deleted.
That picture was with all the ground crew, here's one just of the pilots who scored against the Typhoon.

where is the picture?

@Windjammer Sir a question, PAF's fourth f-16 squadron, the 19th where is it based, sargodha or mianwali or somewhere else?

I believe they are co-located with No 9 and 11(OCU) Squadrons in Sargodha.

I may be wrong but 19 Sqn was relocated to jacobabad with 5 Sqn.

When will the stupid in your wake up?

First, there is no such thing as the FGFA...it is only a fantasy in Indian minds. The plane it is supposed to be ripped off, T-50 is delayed itself.

Last but the most important of all, this is PAF F-16 threads. So keep your BS elsewhere.
