A force to be reckoned with
Posted on 9 August 2010 in Defence
...For some years, the Egyptian air force has had a requirement for a more capable strike fighter than the F-16. Egypt requested 12 F-15E Strike Eagles in 2002, but this request was turned down, as was a 2005 request for the supply of 60-100 F-16C/D Block 60/62s.
After this rebuff, in November 2006, Egypt began talks with Mikoyan hoping to buy 40 MiG-29SMT fighters. By 2007, it was negotiating for a larger batch of 60-80 MiG-29SMTs, 20-25 Sukhoi Su-35s and 24-40 Yak-130 advanced trainer/light support aircraft. Subsequently, there were reports of Egyptian negotiations to join the Sino-Pakistani JF-17 programme, with a reported interest in taking 48 of these advanced fighters.
The chance that Egypt might buy Russian or Chinese fighters encouraged the USA to view the countrys request for advanced F-16s more sympathetically and, as a result, the EAF will now receive a batch of 16 F-16C Block 52+ and four F-16D Block 52s, together with JDAM kits for the EAFs stock of Mk84 bombs. The supply of AIM-120 AMRAAM beyond visual range missiles remains problematic, however.

NOTE: This article clearly shows the true picture of EAF. Even with getting blk52+ they are being denied of BVR AIM120. So Thunder is the best option for them. I hope they buy it rather than wasting money of US fighters.

Clearing the air
Minister of State for Defence M.M. Pallam Raju sprang a surprise on Pakistani fighter pilots at the recently-concluded Farnborough International Airshow.
The minister decided to check out the static display of Pakistan Air Forces JF-17 fighters that were taking part in an airshow for the first time. The minister quizzed the pilots about the capabilities of the fighter.
A Pakistan Air Force pilot said, We were quite surprised to have the Indian minister visit us. He was quite curious about the aircraft and asked us about the range, weapons payload and its development history.

Previously I advocated that Pakistan should first get 100 JF-17 then start exporting fighters. Now in the thread we discussed the "killer switch" that US may have installed in our F-16s. Now the issue that comes to mind is that whether RD-33 from Russia does have that too. Russia sold this engine for reexport to Pakistan after giving India assurances. What were those assurances ? Now think we should export nearly all JF-17 until WS-13 is installed.
