PAF F16-Blk70 possibly coming - TO BE CONFIRMED

[SABRE]

Getting F-16s with KSA support will be stupid thing to do, if KSA is ready to finance fighter jets then get EFTs latest trench as it will give better capability to PAF and will allow better working relationship with KSA air force.

Such a transaction might come with an added commitment by Pakistan to participate - directly or indirectly - in a possible war against Iran. In the long run the cost of such transactions could outweigh the benefits.

We are on page 183 and the mental mas...n saga still continues.

I wish it to be noted that I pointed this out on page 4!

Double engine double expense, PAF is more interested in F-16 reasons are obvious further EFT's are not as good as F-16 since we know much more about F-16 and their maintenance...if we induct another platform we need many years and more expense to induct new platform....

Block 70 already and overkill over Indians....

What American thinks if they gave us more F-16 we will F@ck India which will lead to nuclear war.

f16s will still be better cost wise but depends whther we get aim120d,aim9x with b70

Vietnam May Request F-16s, P-3 Orions From US
By: Wendell Minnick   May 25, 2016

TAIPEI, Taiwan — With the lifting of the US arms embargo to Vietnam, a US defense industry source indicates Hanoi is seeking to improve its air defense and maritime security capabilities with the procurement of F-16 fighter aircraft from the US Pentagon's excess defense articles (EDA) program and refurbished P-3C Orion maritime patrol aircraft, armed with torpedoes.
On the F-16 EDA, they want the same deal the Obama administration gave Indonesia.

with trump not eager to through money, we not having hard cash and hostile congress this is probably the only possibility if at all

NOT selling Pakistan conventional arms will be the cause of nuclear war. moronic injun lobbying to prevent Pakistan from getting F-16s will put Pakistan against the wall.

8 F-16 ready to deliver but they need hard money......if you have money you can buy tomorrow 8 block F-16 52+....plus other goodies.

They don't want we gave them back their own aid money to buy their stuff or soft loans.

Actually that is exactly what they want. Unless you think they want us to use their aid/soft loans to buy Russian or Chinese weapons? The issue is they don't want to release the money owed to Pakistan for CSF and Pakistan is not willing to spend money outside of that on US weapons.

as i said PAF would rather get 2 squadrons of thunders or put money in project azm rather than paying a billion dollars for 8 block 52..this is true for most countries ..the reason why everyone is looking at EDA/used f16s

Blk 70 is a great plane with price of 28 typhoons we can have Atleast 50 F16s. It's totally different plane except shape and outer side.

What exactly do you mean by "buy them tomorrow"? Lets say we did have the money..it would still take at least one year or more to fulfill that order. Or are you referring to used Block 52s we can take from USAF stocks?

My opinion is that PAF is moving away from F16's as further block JF's become available. The fact PAF can keep F16's going with any OEM input means that they have enough know how and access to spares that PAF doesn't seem too bothered by any sanction.

Wouldn't it be more economical for Pakistan to acquire some stored F-16s from the Boneyard and get them upgraded to V standard?

Yanks won't do until we buy more new ones along.

Those are some old sh!t F-16's that probably flown in Desert Storm & Operation Enduring Freedom (Iraq/Afghanistan). The cost of upgrading 'em to Viper Standard might come up to the price tag of a (used Block 52) with far less hours.

They already build them....if few hours used we must not care....
