一名巴基斯坦高级官员08年4月底向简氏防务周刊透露说，财政预算压力将迫使巴基斯坦政府削减从美国购进新型F-16战机的数量，但是巴空军250架枭龙战机的采购计划不会变化。

　　巴美两国起初达成的协议是，巴基斯坦向美国采购18架F-16战机，另外18架战机则可以选择(买或不&#20080，当2007年12月双方签署合同时，巴基斯坦选择了放弃另外18架的采购。上述消息是是今年4月23日巴基斯坦媒体透露的。

　　美国国会于2006年批准向巴基斯坦出售36架F-16C/D Block50/52型战机，按照当时的说法，这笔合同的价值高达30亿美元(包括培训费用、零部件费用以及相关设备等费&#29992，巴基斯坦还要求美方出售价值6.5亿美元的武器套件，这包括500枚AIM-120-C5型先进中程空空导弹，200枚AIM-9M-8/9(Sidewinder)型空空导弹，和500套联合直接攻击弹药的制导套件。

　　但是美国国防安全合作局(DSCA)4月下旬表示，新合同价值只有4.98亿美元，另外18架F-16的出售完全泡汤；新的合同只包括18架F-16战机(12架F-16C Block52单座型和6架F-16D型双座战&#26426，不包括零部件，也不包括附属设备。

　　巴基斯坦方面的官员表示，国际高油价和国内经济增长放缓使得最后的决定成为必然，“我们必须盯着每一个削减花销的机会”。

　　但他同时表示，削减F-16的采购不会影响巴基斯坦空军250架JF-17雷电(FC-1枭&#40857战机的采购计划。
English:A senior Pakistani officials by the end of April 08 to Jane's Defense Weekly revealed that the pressure on the budget cuts will force the Government of Pakistan from the United States bought new F-16 fighters, the number, but the Pakistan Air Force 250 Xiaolong fighter procurement plan will not Changes.

Pakistan-US bilateral agreement was initially reached, Pakistan to the United States purchase 18 F-16 fighters, while another 18 fighters can choose (to buy or not buy), when in December 2007 when the two sides signed the contract, Pakistan chose to give up another 18 procurement. The news is this year on April 23 revealed that the Pakistani media.

U.S. Congress in 2006 approved the sale 36 F-16C / D Block50/52 fighters, according to the statement at the time, the contract value of up to 3 billion U.S. dollars (including training costs, the cost of spare parts and related equipment, etc. ), Pakistan also demanded that the United States sold 650 million U.S. dollars worth of arms package, including 500 AIM-120-C5-advanced medium-range air-to-air missiles and 200 AIM-9M-8 / 9 (Sidewinder)-type air-to-air missiles, and 500 sets of Joint direct attack munitions guidance package.

However, the U.S. Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA) 4 in late, said the new contract worth only 498 million U.S. dollars, and 18 F-16 sale of fully Paotang; new contract covers only 18 F-16 fighters (12 F-16C Block52 single-and six-seater F-16D fighters), not including spare parts, not including ancillary equipment.

Pakistan officials said that high international oil prices and domestic economic slowdown makes the final decision inevitable, "We have to stare at every opportunity to cut expenses."

However, he also said that the reduction of F-16 procurement will not affect the Pakistan Air Force 250 JF-17 thunder and lightning (FC-1 Xiaolong) fighter procurement plan.

ajay26uk is Indian, check his name, Ajay..a typical Indian name.

[PakShaheen79]

So Only F-16 are coming. No AIM-9M and AIM-120C5... What is point of this deal then?

we Just need the packaging, we'll put Chinese products in them

 

[PakShaheen79]

Do u think integration is that simple with Chinese missile on US planes and would US allow this to happen. I still think Missiles and spare are also part of deal otherwise these F-16 will be white elephants for PAF.

 

[QADRI]

well first of all government should make sure the finalization of F-16 block 50-52 purchase. Equipments or ammo could be purchased in future...however my personal opinion is that despite of investing this huge amount of money on old used F-16 we should develope one more fighter jet by our own or with china, that would be more better as if it is good then many countries would also buy it from us and we could make the profit from that.

Who told you...?500AIM120C5 have been ordered and should be deilervered next year.
