Pakistan F-16 Discussions 2

[Arsalan]

Its just a model at an defence exhibition.

LM guys may be trying their latest missiles in the show and they put it on the F-16 model which had Pakistan flag as the show was in Pakistan. I bet the same model without the flag would have been used in another country.

Marketing techniques. The model doesn't means we have bought them or are gonna get them soon.

i guess the above post by tamimkhan explains it all. the model by no means assure that we are getting the AIM9X especially when it is claimed by officials that we are going to get Aim9M!!

i hope you are clear now!

regards!

Well yeah JHMCS is coming with Blk 52s and the range of M series is somewhere 18Km and for the X model somewhere above 35+KM slated.

MICA IR has about the same range as AIM-9X if not a bit more.

What about the MLU kits that we are getting, do we have JHMCS included in those for the planes undergoing MLU?

Well if they are gonna go to Blk 52 standard, the JHMCS would be able to work with them, it depends if PAF orders them and the US gives them.

One question in my mind: Is there going to be any Significant structural changes to the air frame ie Dorsal spine or possible CFT's ??

Not sure about CFTs, but in the MLUs there would be no dorsal spine as per my read so far. Normal body design with some structural upgrades, but the electronically a lot of things rather nearly fully would be changed.

i think we need a bit of study on Chilean MLU's.
