IS US THINKING TO SELL F15 TO PAKISTAN

[SQ8]

true,
because they are only used against the Yemen tribes or possibly against Iran.
there is no danger of these RSAF F-15s to be pitted against Israel. but its good that Saudis get all the top end modern toys. its gives our pilots the chance to fly these awesome machines which they would never be able to fly other wise.

I hate to say it but F-15 is my favourite. all the talk about PAF doctrine and Pakistan not needing a heavy twin engine fighter is a futile talk of grapes are sour. these majestic machines are too good a forbidden fruit for Pakistan.

PAF pilots may get a chance to take the Tornado or Typhoon out for a spin..
But the F-15 is a big no no as far as the Americans are concerned.
The same goes for the Block 60's in the UAE.. Pakistani pilots working with the UAEAF on bases housing these jets have the F-16 pens off limits to them.

Pakistani pilots have already flown F-16 Block 60.

you know better than I do. also you just confirmed my point about the importance of F-15 . that such "an imporant" Ally is off limits. during my graduation a classfellow told me that PAF pilots used to fly the F-15s back in the 80s when his father was in Saudi Arabia (airforce pilot) when our forces were posted on secondment during the Cold war era.

Not possible, PAF don't operate twin Engine aircraft, there are more chance of F35

 

[Luftwaffe]

Chances of F-35 slim down after hike in F-16 price.

Do you know what happened when this was pitched to the US??
They did not just say no..
they said "HELL NO!".. we'll fly em for ya.. no pakistanis please!.

 

[mjnaushad]

I think Pakistani journalists do not know the difference between F-16's and F-15.

Its a publishing mistake nothing more than that.

May be he though F16 is better than F15 because of 15, 16

the strength of freindship is "telling"

doubt if there were any. maybe the coffe mug and T shirt memorabilia nothing more than that

That time is not far away when Pakistani pilots will be given good practice in them F15s...

My only dislike about the F15 is that it stays in the hanger most of its life...

the initial lot of F-15C's was flown by a few Pakistani pilots as far as I heard...simply because the there weren't enough Saudi's in the AF.
Once the F-15S came into play.. most of the pilots were Saudi Citizens or American Military personnel on loan.
The current buy of the F-15SA wont be flown by anyone other than Saudi's or Americans.

Everybody is dumping the f16 and f15 and we Muslims are buying them.

With the money of the gulf states and the knowhow of some smart Pakistani's, moroccans and Egyptians we could devellop and produce a 5th generation plane.

Well said... but that wont be possible unless we keep the criminals in power on our lands and continue to strive within the same corrupt system that is in place across the Muslim world...

We need to get rid of a lot more than just Mubarak, Zardari, the sheikhs of UAE and the King of Morocco to achieve what you state...

 

[Myth_buster_1]

nope - don't want it. Better to concentrate and make JFT as a super plane in the coming years (only after trials and tests). One day PAC would be producing stealth aircrafts like others.

The new block of F-15s are as good as any flankers in the world.
More funds for JF-17 does not necessarily means a more improved system could be produced unless if some western sources are willing to provide us that system. PAF has to look beyond JF-17 options.

 

[IND151]

+building 5th gen fighter aircraft wont be easy for Muslim nations. Israel will make sure that you wont get important tech!IAF HAS SU 30 MKI AND THEY WILL HAVE FGFA

 

[ARSENAL6]

Buy them and reverse engineer them - what says
