Pakistan F-16 Discussions 2

Well it isn't news flash that the US has withheld coalition support funds from Pakistan, but where exactly did the Block 70 & the number (18) come from?

Even PDF has more sources in the PAF to know if there was talk going about... The Taliban Peace Process is a complicated one. Its not like going down to the local Custom Shop & pimping your ride (Suzuki FX).
 
I thought number would be 36 F-16C/D Block 72s and 18 x PAF F-16C/D Block 52 to be upgraded to VIPER Modification.

18 follow up Block 52+ jets back from 2010 which were then reduced to 8 jets but no longer subsidized under FMS.

Where the Block 70 (should be 72) came from is no clue. They are still making Block 52+ jets for Iraq.

September 2017
The Iraqi air force identified the pilot as Capt. Noor Faleh Rassan Al-Khazali was killed when an F-16 jet crashed during a training mission in southeastern Arizona.

Roberts said the plane belonged to the Iraqi air force and that the training mission was being conducted in conjunction with the 162nd Wing, which is based at Tucson International Airport.

Al-Khazali’s death was the second involving an Iraqi pilot flying an F-16 in Arizona in recent years.

In July 2015, an Iraqi brigadier general flying from the 162nd died when his F-16, a newer model recently delivered to the Iraqi air force, crashed during night training near Douglas.

Nope. The second batch are still being produced. The training phase has been moved over to Iraq from Arizona ANG a few weeks ago.

Haven't the completed the delivery of F.16's recently,I think read some where on F-16.net that the last Iraqi viper crash was due to spatial disorientation.
