NATO - News: NATO Secretary General holds high-level talks with Serbia, Afghanistan, Pakistan , 26-Sep.-2013

Is this meeting and transit aid from Pakistan of no effect?

Sorry i'm unable to see your point !!!

From what Turkish members on here tell me, the Turks have been producing the F-16s for a while now, so why not?

Correction, assembling kits F-16s.

Ah, right.

 

[Alpha1]

Can any of you list out the blocks of the F-16s the PAF operates.

Akhi!

Well, production does not mean they produce all the parts. Much like the JF-17, there are certain avionics and systems that are not made in house. In case of the F-16 the APG-68 Radar, the Interface updates and other equipment that is manufactured exclusively in the US will have to arrive before it is integrated into the aircraft. As such, the program could have been carried out by the PAF at KAMRA but security concerns did not let it happen. It would have been the same had it been carried out inhouse.

What the TAI facilities are capable of they will perform, but just as a part is missing..the aircraft will sit on the sidelines before it comes through.
