Does any type of PAF's planes capable in carring nuclear weapons?

[zenglanmu]

I have read a chinese article that pakistan may rely on its f16 as nuclear weapon platform in early years. but I dont know any type of f16 is able to carry nuclear weapons. I'm sorry for it maybe a unproper thread.

 

[yousaf goebbels]

all of them are capable.....we can fire babur cruise missile from submarine too....it has a range of 1000 kilometers and its stealth....we can deliver mail on urgent delivery anywhere on the globe

I belive several mirages , retd A-5's and perahps some vipers.

 

[zenglanmu]

a mode of A-5 is capable in carrying nuclear bombs. But from the fareware to fantan thread my remember is Pakistan hadn't buy such mode.

 

[zenglanmu]

Anyway, did once pakistan send his f16s to China for repairing? Maybe it looks like wired, but during the America sanctions peroid, could it happen?

bro, let me clear Babur is not stealth that RAAD which is stealth with a range of 350 km, while Babur has a range of 750 km.

The mirages are chosen for that duty but as per reports from pentagon the Pakistanis have modified their F-16s for the role as well.

 

[Jango]

there are F16....mirages are also for this role....JF 17 can carry JDAMS....does this mean nukes too?

 

[AZADPAKISTAN2009]

To put it in simple terms , yes we can carry nuclear war heads , in planes

We can deliver nuclear payload by Missiles , from safe distance the missiles based approach can even target Aircraft carriers , and any naval unit its fast and effective 10 minutes , carrier craft is taken out.

We can deliver nuclear payload by Fighter planes

a) F16
b) Mirages

Easily its old news.

Also not to mention we also have stealth Cruise missiles , which can destroy enemy command centers from safe distance.



Also we also have unclassified weapons in possession which is normally kept for special ocassions wink wink

I think the mirages,falcons and thunders will carry nukes for paf

 

[Najam Khan]

Mirages and 80's era F16s can do so. 13 A/B models which have arrived since Dec2005 don't have that capability.

 

[relativiti]

the thread question was also in my mind. anyway someone asked it first.
i thought pakistan only relied on cruise/ballistic missiles for nuclear delivery

 

[fatman17]

in the past it was 'rumoured' that both the F-16A/B and the A-5III were 'capable' to drop nukes!

Thats true...US didn't placed checks in the PeaceGate1/2 F-16s, we were not a declared nuclear power at that time.

Nukes from air, its the Ra'ad ALCM. A-5 Fantan was the first PAF craft to be modified to launch that. Now, its from Mirage ROSE. The latest test fir of Ra'ad ALCM (around 1-2 weeks ago) was from Mirage ROSE.

I have no idea from F-16 or JF-17s, as their main purpose is to be in Dog fights using AMRAAMS and BVRs.

Now A-5 Fantan is retired and we will have only 80 Mirage ROSEs to launch Ra'ad. (Rest are yet to be upgraded)
