Good news after a Disastrous news of Indian Selection of Rafale, that we were expecting to be delayed a lil more or cancel.

Translated comments from the photographer.

Good delivery A flight of three units F16 to any one country. If anyone has information please share. First of all I apologize for the quality. F16 There was another one but I could not picture it at all. Cumptos

That means the twin seater F-16 BM 82603 is there as well but not photographed.

It's an export AESA radar for F16 operators that wants to upgrade Block 50/52 like S. Korea, Singapore... and it will be available for PAFs Block 52s during later upgrades as well. However, it's specially made for exports/upgrades only and is not as capable as the Northrop Grumman AN/APG-80 in UAEs Block 60s.

Its just a delivery guy !
Where did u read that Last Block-52 hit by a bird ? Please do give me the link.

 

[Last Hope]

I have a confusion. I read in this thread that MLU kits will include a new engine, whereas while talking to Kaiser Tufail, he said they will be supported by the same ones. Who is right?

Not true! The 10-801 was kept by USAF for testing purpose, on any possible up-gradations/modification that the PAF or, precisely, PAC could do.

DC-10 was just snapped by the photographer! This isn't any Air base in Pakistan, and that doesn't mean only our Vipers would use the Air base!

AESA is something that is very difficult to design and build as you need a good amount of work in solid state electronics.

How many universities in Pakistan are working on that? None.


Same with Engine design. For High-performance engines you need advances in materials science, sophisticated equipment to deal with metallurgy. Neither Pakistan nor India or any other country in South Asia has the capability at the moment.

Until they land at Mushaf/Shahbaz they are property of U.S, hence their rules apply. Any minor/major problem that occurs during the delivery is their responsibility.

Actually that DC-10 was a part of this formation. All the 52s and EDA a/c delivered to PAF were refueled by the a tanker during the journey....they also use it to contact with air traffic stations of different countries during the ferry mission. Its like a middle man

I am sure US has upgraded latest avionics with good Muscle in it. Specially MLU jets. USA definitively wants to win its F16 against Indian raffles and Russian Su30MKi and other competitors. US is very keen to see his jets against competitors.

Okay, so they are USAF property till they land in Pakistan. Even flying over any other country's airspace? What about the PAF pilots. Would they be marked as flying a PAF F-16 or a USAF F-16? Anyhow answer this please.

Tanker is always seen with F-16 delivery. Tanker is necessary for crossing Pacific or ur bird might drink some sour water. So Tanker is just a Delivery Guy, as i said before.
By the way, when i said it is in Pakistan
