Asia's Prime Fighter PAF F-16

[airmarshal]

MLU has made F-16 1000 kg lighter. How did that happen @Windjammer ?

Do the MLU F-16s also have an improved version PW-100? That makes them even more agile.

F-16A/B Block 15 40
F-16A/B Block 15 OCU 14
F-16C/D Block 50/52+ 18
F-16A/B Block 15 ADF 13

40+14+18+13= 85
9 attritional losses; 3 in late 1980s, 5 in early 1990s, 1 in 2009= 76

PAF will get 8 more advance then Block 52+

One distinction to make here. Block 50 and block 52 are two different variants. The difference is in powerplants and aircraft structure.

Block 52 or any block that ends with '2' is a PW powered F-16 with a smaller intake. Any version that ends with '0' is a GE powered F-16 with a wide intake also called 'big mouth'.

I have a question......

I have never seen any PAF F16 with Kill markings on it. ....... Can any one elaborate me a bit how kill markings are marked? What are it's conditions etc etc......???

Do we deliberately didn't marked our Falcons with Kill marking of any Russian jet to avoid political minus points.....???

The J-10s are operational but they are having pretty bad teething issues with the newer versions.
The thread itself is rather vague in premise, but if one was to summarize a single aircraft in Asia that meets the following

1. Highly advanced in terms of onboard systems
2. Highly Manoeuvrable in Air to Air combat
3. Equipped with advanced weaponry
4. Reliable and ready for combat.

Then the only aircraft that gets an aggregate high score in all these categories is the F-16D Block-52+ of Pakistan and Singapore and South Korea. I would have first gone with the F-15SG operated by Singapore or the F-15K but both arent as manoeuvrable in terms of their A2A capability due to being heavier variants of the F-15 even though they offset it easily with their munitions capability. Very close is the Indian upgraded Mirage-2000-5 since those are as deadly as the F-16s in certain respects and if not for my own preference for sustained energy capability rather than instantaneous.. I might have ranked the Mirage 2000 at the top.

Other aircraft such as the J-20 are not operational as of yet, the Su-30MKI and J-11Ds are not reliable at all and so far the Rafale is not going to be in the picture for another 5 years.

F-15 squadrons has more wins in Raytheon Trophy as opposed to F-16 squadron.

Does such marking remain permanent through out the life of jet or removed after certain interval of time.....?
