How does only radar is only the added advantage in capability?

If Pakistani F-16s get AESA of APG 80 class then you shall see how SU-30s of Indian Airforce come down with AMRAAM AIM-120C5..

F-16 will detect the SU-30 before it can detect the Viper...

This is why i mentioned that US will not be willing to give AESA to PAF to create a balance in Airforces.

How about allowing falcon into the such astounding hypothetical equation?

What kind of the Balance are you talking about that will create in the airforce?
Pls understand your own words, then let me know about it.

Lets have a english class. :)

And a understanding issue is there. :lol:

United States will not want Active Electronically Scanned Array(for information on AESA kindly search) based radars to be given to Pakistan Air Force because in their theory it will lessen the Gap between Indian Air force and Pakistani Air force in terms of State of Art Equipment.

Only SU-30 (Fighter Jet) is considered the most advanced Jet Fighter in the region with its Passive Electronically Scanned Array Radar (PESA). Due to its radar's range of detection of other Jet Fighters and Beyond Visual Range engagement abilities. APG 80 radar for F-16 will give a upper hand in combat against Su-30's Radar. As APG 80 has a greater range of Detection then Su-30 and can shoot a SU-30 from 100+ with AMRAAM AIM-120C5 before the SU-30 can even detect the F-16.


I hope even a child (as you are)will not have problem understanding now!

:agree:

Exactly You rightly said, you definetly need english class and hence such grammetical error!

It is like that
"United states won't AESA based radar to given to Pakistan airforce"

now compare the above with your one.

Offcourse you can hope looking at your grammetical error.

If you are Indian then you should know that the Convent schools are good schools when it comes to English.

Lockheed gets $498 mn contract to sell F-16s to Pakistan : US Business

Washington, Jan 1 - The US Defence Department has awarded a $498.2 million contract to Lockheed Martin Corp to supply 18 F-16 aircraft to Pakistan just ten days after the US Congress slapped restrictions on military aid to Islamabad.

Lockheed will sell 12 F-16C plus six F-16D planes to Pakistan under the contract, the department announced in a list of defence contract awards Monday, but did not say how soon the fighter jets would be delivered.

The award to Lockheed is in line with a senior US official's assertion that the Congressional restrictions on providing $50 million in military aid to Pakistan would not affect the sales of F-16 aircraft.

'The F-16 programme is a Pakistani purchase, their money, they are buying them. And our foreign military finance, our military assistance goes for different purposes and is not involved at this point in the F-16 sales,' said Richard Boucher, assistant secretary of state for South and Central Asian affairs.

'So they will be able to continue that and we will be able to continue our efforts...so they can do the fight against terrorism that they are in,' he said in a media teleconference last month shortly after Congress linked the military aid to Islamabad's efforts to fight terror.

Boucher had also expressed confidence that the restrictions would not prevent the Bush administration from providing military aid to Pakistan, which has received about $10 billion in US funding since 2001.

Pakistan is to get 18 new F-16C/D fighters by 2010 besides upgrades for its current fleet of 34 F-16 combat aircraft as part of a $2.1 billion deal for new weapons, avionics, engines, and other equipment for F-16 fighters announced in September last year.

Lockheed, the Pentagon's No. 1 contractor, won a $144 million contract in 2006 for materials needed to build the F-16s.

In authorising $300 million in aid to Pakistan, the Congress had said $50 million of it can only be used after Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice certifies that Pakistan is making 'concerted efforts' to prevent terrorists and the Taliban from operating inside its borders.

Boucher said he had little doubt that the administration would get the money. 'We are confident that we will be able to report to Congress on the developments in the areas that they have identified,' he said.

Asserting, this is very much part of the counter-terrorism effort, Boucher said: 'It goes to TOW missiles. It goes to tactical radios that their forces can use to plan military operations. And it goes to support the programme for P-3C aircraft that help them do maritime patrols.'

He added: 'Pakistan is currently, for the second time, in command of the Combined Task Force 150 that patrols the seas off Pakistan and the Arabian Gulf to prevent terrorist activities on the high seas.
I hope those 12 F-16 will be delivered much earlier than 2010.
