Pakistan F-16 Discussions 2

Bilal one reason US still flying these jets is delay in F35 jets .i am not saying it's bad plane but not feasible for 30 to fourty years it will be political decision nothing more .
You might have a point if India is fighting the U.S., but the situation is quite different. India's actual threat profile comprises of a Pakistan that is stagnating and a China that is being encircled by an increasing number of foes. Granted, I do believe that the moment Pakistan finds genuine political and economic grounding (together), India will be in for a real challenge, but until then (or in its absence), AESA-equipped F-16s will suit them fine. Age doesn't matter - as long as it can continue taking modern subsystems, it will be fine. One would need more than the number of years on its design to run against the effectiveness of top-notch U.S. or Israeli radars, Israeli AAMs, Israeli ECM/EW, etc, an Indian F-16 will likely get.

These are actually IBM BladeCenter E or Chassis with IBM Blade Arrays (the vertical things!). The blades are either HS-22 or HS-23. Each blade has a throughput of 2 gbit/sec. The Chassis has built in Load Balancer called BNT module.

I work with these type of chassis on regular basis as an enterprise wide switching solution for a large enterprise.

What my question is; are you sure that this Chassis if installed in the F-16? Because this thing weights ridiculously high. This thing doesn't belong in a light weight fighter.

I know what that is.

My question was, compared to that, what are the F-16's like ?

Hi,

The Israelis just ordered new F15's---. The F35 and the F22 are for a certain battle arena---for the rest of them---the F16's---the F18's---the F15's are way too advanced for the fight.

The F16 may have been designed 40 years ago----but a new aircraft is being built on modern machines with state of the art technology. The EW suite is the most advanced and so are the weapons---.

If I went and bought a new Holland & Holland shotgun---people could say that it is a 100 years + old name---but is it!

Every inch of a modern jet fighter is bound to contain something sensitive.

That pin can make all the difference.

Yup,a safety pin of missile launcher can cause lot of destruction when aircraft is started electric signal travels to whole body of aircraft after interacting with sensors and other systems,it sends all "ok" to central computer and a beep is generated,now pilot can move on,see what happens when this electrical safety pin is missing...

Chances are likely if the Indian government was to order the jets....also shifting the plant will unlikely happen due to the black market reputation there. Still then again....you never know....


A plant will be managed by an Indian private firm, like TATA, Reliance, Mahindra. TATA is also going to raise a assembly, testing plant for the Airbus C295. Reliance will do the same for Antonov birds. Several modules are already being produced in India for several big aerospace OEMs. TATA will also produce Apache block 3 fuselage as well.

India is currently liberalizing it's defence and aerospace industry. It's looking for a private sector aerospace producer. TATA, Reliance, etc. are more than eager. SAAB, Boeing, LM, etc. are more than welling to manage a plant with them.
