Pakistan F-16 Discussions 2

[Last Hope]

Sorry I couldn't find the PAF F-16 with AMRAAM. But I found these:

(Is the second image true or Photoshopped? Was a Block 30 delivered in 2010 along Block 52s? I dont think so)

Paf is really a force which could very well find its place in the top 20 air forces of the planet

Wt does rounds mean, if it means a pieace of missile then we have only 250 + 25 = 275 BVR..

Too low....
I remember in Dec 2010 Chief of Airfrce Qamar Salaman told an interview that PAF got all 500 AIM 120C5 missiles and they are tested.

Followin was the news of August 2010

pakistan's order of 500 rounds of the AIM-120C5/7 was the largest ever single order placed with the manufacturer Raytheon.

BTW, 250 rounds of the AIM-120C5 have been delivered as of end June. additionally only 25 rounds of the SD-10A have been delivered so far. (PAF source)

Is there any news of PAF receiving LAU-128 or 129A/A missile rail launchers too? On F16/F15 sidewinder's MRLs(128) can work too. AIM-9X requires LAU-128 where as AIM-9 L/M/P requires LAU-114.

LAU-114

LAU-128 works for both AMRAAM and AIM-9X, i am sure PAF have opted for it,integrating various types of equipment needs operator's(enggineers) training and distribution of funds too...for us spare's future is always a question mark.

 

[DANGER-ZONE]

Here PAF's f-16 (801) pending delivery, is undergoing testing for GBU-24.

So the GBU-24 was in the deal .... !
i never read that any where, in any article. No i am curious to know about rumoured JSOW.
is that also a reality ?

for some odd reason the 9x is not released to the PAF. my assumtion is that the US was waiting on the result of the indian mmrca selection. maybe now they will consider.
