25 Viper fighter jets to Morocco for $ 3.7 billion and the upgrade of 23 Block 52 to V

[Ceylal]

Morocco has apparently found enough gas to be self-sufficient and export some to Europe..you can google it..

They didn’t , it was a hoax even Moh VI was rolled in it..

After all who are their enemies? Algeria?

Algeria doesn’t consider Morocco an ennemi or a threat to her...

I'd be surprised if the PAF doesn't at least ask for the F-16V upgrade for its 18 Block-52+. But I think upgrading the remaining F-16s might be tough, the Block-15/OCU/ADF airframes are nearing the OEM-stated airframe life.

Seems the approximate cost of upgrading No. 5's F-16s would be $900 m, and then adding another 18 Block-72 would run $2.8 b. That's $3.7 b to get 36 AESA radar-equipped medium-weight fighters (upgrade 18, add 18).

But for that price, you could get, at best, 15 Typhoon T3s (note: I'm considering the JF-17 an independent variable, more of those will come no matter what, IMO). On the other hand, the PAF won't send a dollar to the US, not until the risk of doing so is alleviated somehow (e.g., a third-party loan).

What about future Turkish AESA update?

What about future Turkish AESA update?

It can only happen if the US approves it.

 

[Kabotar]

All GE-F110 variants, ranging 125-130kn, roc 50k /m or similar. We should be catching up with them soon.

Do we have an engine program? Or it is about JF-17 BLK3?

 

[messiach]

Wow , this is very potent fighter and specifications they got, This is one of the best F16s today. I don't have a single doubt about its capabilities , only issue is it is not sanction free. U.S.A can use it for political purpose whenever they want.

Getting the money is the least of PAF's problems, it's getting US approval for not only the upgrades of existing F-16s but the purchase of new ones. Given the geopolitical realities, US will do nothing to tip the balance of power against India. It's possible PAF can order more F-16s Block 52s (and pay for them!) but forget getting AESA radar or the latest Block 70s or 72s.
