UAE FLAG?!

Thats the UAE F-16 blk 60.

Its NOT the F-16IN. F-16IN is still a concept, which would be built if LM wins the MMRCA tender.

You are however still right in that the plane is still the most advanced F-16 ever made.

I dunno mate, looking at the photo, maybe LM just painted F-16IN on the plane for the airshow.

 

[mean_bird]

hahaha

next time try reading some credible sources instead of the likes of wiki and BR. There will be no F-16IN unless it wins the MRCA.

i hope IAF selects F-16 over Fa-18 rafale ef-2000 mig-29.....
because as a stratigic point of view, the plane will still have 3-4 years of time before the concept is turend into reality. this should pave pakistan's way to Russian market and hopefully PAF should able to grab some deals for its own projects such as acquiring AESA radar for FC-20.
only FA-18 has realistic chance winning 120 MRCA order but i hope IAF goes for somthing less then this.

Thats not F-16IN.
Plus another thing IAF doesn't have the skills to maintain American technology at this point of time they can hardly maintain there Russian fleet, They don't have the capabilities to fix an engine, If a SU engine goes koko it has to be shipped back to Russia for change and fixing.
Yes if they go for American fighters only with TOT will they have the capabilities to make it work. US will be very pretty worried with TOT ------------Russia.

But didn't you know that HAL manufactures these very Su-30MKIs in India, including the engines? IF they can manufacture the engines, I don't understand why fixing some broken parts should be that difficult?

Break-up of the erstwhile soviet union had its disastrous consequences on IAF maintenance of its airplanes. As for American tech maintenance, I am sure Indian techs are quite smart to pick up knowledge. BTW didn't we order some C-130s and don't we also operate some British and French advanced aircraft? The tech is almost similar to that of the Americans. That Sir, was a very baseless statement, coming from a person of your caliber!
