Pakistan need to start thinking beyond fsola

Hoping that F-16 is the last fighter aircraft type that PAF acquires from USA.

Looking forward to hear news about new suppliers from Europe or Asia.

Nose is even bigger giving more space to accommodate a bigger radar.

Eurofighter is a heavy weight fighter not medium weight like F-16. It has two engines which require more fuel carriagethats why its bigger

Weight Class

Eurofighter 23.5 ton class vs f16 blk 52+ 21.7 almost 22 ton class fighter so not much diff compared t F15 or Su
F16 A is lower weight class almost 38000 lbs or 19 tons
JF-17 is 13.5 Ton class (max), same as Mirage 5

Hi,

Awhile ago---I compared the F16 to a Honda accord / civic----. The F16 being considered as the most reliable of fighter aircraft---.

Some did not like it and compared the F16 to the BMW---etc etc etc---.

So here is the release of information from auto express---BMW has the highest engine failure rates---actually amogst the 10 worst---7th from the bottom---somewhere around out of every 40 engines 1 failed---.

The honda was the most reliable----1 out of 344 engines failed---highest in reliability---almost twice as reliable than toyota and 3 times more reliable engine than mercedes.

Today in F-16 history

5 Sep 1989
Pakistan orders 60 F-16s (Peace Gate IV).

 

[AZADPAKISTAN2009]

Well the fact we have not inducted a brand new F16 recently is quite negative development

US shift towards India is getting more and more overt and pronounced than ever before. This trend is going to continue. We are not going to get anything from the US that the Indians cannot counter with ease or do not have a remedy for. If they don't, then they will be catered for by the Americans ... covertly even if need be.

This will be even more so with passage of time. It is in their mutual interests as per their strategic goals.

We need to improve our performance on CPEC and earn deeper trust and cooperation from China. Off late poor CPEC implementation and corruption has somewhat mellowed the momentum of bilateral cooperation between Pakistan & China.

This may not be ideal or the best bang for the buck ... but it is the only sustainable and prudent long term approach.

Sir you are right but Lock head Martin is begging for F16 production in India, What would be the future of Pakistan's F16s.
