Pakistan F-16 Discussions 2

[Bossman]

well saaeen ji thing was /is corruption in top brass of MOD and IAF who prefferred "foreign maal"for which they got "kickbacks"and free foriegn holidays "with family" for various fictitous reasons now with a local built fighter they had do miss all that so they tried every trick in the book to scutall LCA project by contantlli changing the goal posts

but this prooved to be a blessing in disguise for LCA which started as a cheap replacement for Mig 21 for point defence morphed into worlds most comapct , lightest multirole fighter with very less RCS deu to its design and all composite skin (45% + composites in its total body mass )

so now with IN betting heavily on Naval LCA even IAF is finding it pretty good option + both PMO & MOD led by owr new DM have given IAF "an offer they cant refuse"

So you are saying that Rafaele is a corrupt deal and Modi is getting his share.

 

[Dazzler]

Isn't this f-16 thread ?

 

[GURU DUTT]

Except, JF-17 has been flying and vowing crowds around the world, meanwhile IAF is having second thoughts about LCA. Wonder what may be the cause?

well even if they have they dont have any other option but to make most from what they are offerred tommorow if they want F22 doesnt means MOD is going to give them that

So you are saying that Rafaele is a corrupt deal and Modi is getting his share.

no what i mean is earlier UPA goverment dellibaretelli said no to french when they offred to setup entire assembally and manufacturing line of there M2K in india (which IAF orignalli wanted) deu to there eyes on kickbacks from rafale fighter contract which had so many loop holes that it was impossible to sign itas it was and abig frace to get "kickbacks"and thats why NaMo & DM/MOD scrapped it

had he(NaMo) been corrupt he could have easily bought 126 rafales instead of 36 and never preusered DRDO/ARDE/HAL & indian armed forces to go ahead with indegenous defnce equipment but looks like your hate for NaMo doesnt lets you see his nationalism , honesty and sinsearity towards india

Read the red writing under the RWR and guess who was leading PAF contingent for Anatolian Eagle-2015.

So Turkish pilots got their arses handed to them by PAF!

Indeed, his name also appears under the canopy.
Same officer was involved in the amazing ''Salute to PAF Veterans'' GoPro display.

Turkish Pilots are equally competent and experienced. No need to start you vs me comparisons where non is needed ..

Ohh shit...I need a cave now mate

BTW, HVKK released media about the bilateral agreement signed with PAF in regards with NATO MMFCT in which Pakistan is estimed to be the only country that provides instructor pilots as exchange officers to the programe, as well as its very own trainees.

@Neptune I think Instructor pilot exchange program predates this formal agreement. Remember PAF instructor pilot who died with his turkish student in T-37 crash ?

Yeah. Sort of actually. AFAIK the previous agreement was one instructor exchange from each side. But from what I've read, the number have increased to two. As we know, PAF pilots in TURAF serve at 124. FİLO (Training, Standardization and Equipment Sq.) in Çigli AFB, its like a cross. But I've heard they flew with the topguns as well. (192nd and 132nd)

As reported on the forum previously, there were two personnel each on exchange between the two forces year round, 1 instructor and 1 trainee. Reportedly Pakistani pilots on exchange have also flown with/against Israeli pilots during Anatolian Eagle when PAF itself was not participating. Quite a few pictures of Turkish pilots flying for different squadrons in the PAF out there.
