F-16s would be my first guess.

 

[AUz]

F-16s and JF-17s against Turkish F-16 block 52s.

 

[Kompromat]

I wish PAF dispatches jets from the 5th Squadron. At least we'll get some good photos

 

[That Guy]

F-16s and JF-17s against Turkish F-16 block 52s.

Probably not JF-17, F-16 guaranteed.

 

[Myth_buster_1]

F-16s would be my first guess.

PAF F-16 MLU!

I guess the goal of the exercise is to find out which of the two air force F-16 has the most bugs!

 

[Abu Zolfiqar]

these exercises with the Turks are invaluable and continue to foster close relations between both allies

F-16s would be my first guess.

affirmative...

 

[tarrar]

I want to see JF17 in action but I think PAF will send f16's.

 

[Donatello]

Well, PAF should take JF-17s as well. Would be great to see them perform in an International DACT exercise.

 

[Skywalker]

PAF will never pit jf17 against any other airforce, they know then the bubble will burst and all their claims would be vanished, their policy is keep the myth as long as they can.

 

[Munir]

not sure but heard block52

 

[VCheng]

PAF F-16 MLU!

There are no bugs. Only "features".

You are not only ill informed but also silly.

The reasons why the JFTs can't yet be deployed in international exercises are following.

1: JFTs are not yet capable of networking with the E-3 Sentry AWACs since the tactical data link which can link to the LINK-16 hasn't yet been integrated.

2: Such exercises require a good loitering capability which requires in flight refuling, which isn't available in block-1.

3: Air Combat Manuvering Instrumentation pod hasn't yet been integrated 3: Air Combat Manuvering Instrumentation pod hasn't yet been integrated 3: Air Combat Manuvering Instrumentation pod hasn't yet been integrated 3: Air Combat Manuvering Instrumentation pod hasn't yet been integrated on JFTs.

Unless they are integrated, the JFT won't be able to achieve its full potential against a highly advanced force like the TurAF.

Well, it was pitted against some front line Chinese platforms, not sure about any bubbles but certainly landed a few surprises.

Unless th

IT has been pitted againt our f16A, MLU and the block52. And indeed chinese platforms. Do you need more? We pitted our PG against F22...
