Kid, are you out of you mind?
there is too much difference b/w F-16 BLK 52+ and MI-35 M,
one is multi-role fighter aircraft and other is attack helicopter,
both serves for different purpose.
Its like comparing apples with oranges!
 
Why not 16 super 4 plus plus Су-30МК interceptor fighters instead americans trashcan F-16 ????

Kid we have exchange for both !! Come in Russia and see from the first hand !! Why not ?? From many you will not get a headache !!
 
surplus is okay....we shouldnt get more block 52s...not right now, maybe later. Is the MLU process for older F16s even complete yet or near completion? i havent been really following that much lately
The mlu process is done .... It finished in summer vacations I think
 
F-16 purchase was always on cards... Money is the only issue. If we had enough in the first place we might have gone for the full option of 36. But i guess the delay was actually to gather enough money to buy more...i speculate..and the super cobra sale can be a counter by the americans to the MI-35 deal..Any thoughtful ideas??
nah .. even if we do a deal for the viper it won't effect the mi28 cuz mi28 is fr militant operations etc by viper is a attack helicopter and the mmi28 deal has already been signed
 
F-16 are the bottom heap in US inventory now(though still very good) and block 52 is has nothing revolutionary anymore which chinese themselves have not got.So not much problem i guess.

They will be hesitant to provide block 60 with aesa etc.


There's nothing in the Chinese inventory that matches f16 blk 52 except if they go ahead and buy su35. The reason why the Americans are still fiercely guarding paf f16's against prying eyes.

Don't be naive,block 52 is not as good:angel:
They have zhuk-mse radars that came with su-33 fighters and j-10b already has an aesa.

Lol, according to whom? China daily? Get some independent source to verify their aesa first?.
 
yes, you win with a Chinese source. Stop blowing their weeny trumpet for awhile and use your negligible brain. Every plane worth its salt has been evaluated by a competent air force except even one chinese crap. Get me a spread sheet from any competition they entered their junk in and got some feedback from a competent source.

Don't talk like a 5 year old child,they already have zhuk-mse in their flankers which is far better than obsolete apg-68v9 of block 52 or zhuk m of mig-29k.
Zhuk-MSE

I was talking about the so called chinese aesa which according to you is ready and the Pakistani are waiting since a few years to be incorporated in their joint fighter.

You haven't answered why the Americans are spending precious resources in safe guarding paf f16 from prying eyes if the Chinese have some ting already better.
 
I think that the US and Pakistan are taking their relations back to normal levels, bodes well.

They are not worried about block 52 hence will be exported to pakistan,,they will never export block 60 with aesa.

"The Zhuk-MSFE features a phased array radar antenna and is intended for the Su-27 aircraft. It can detect airborne targets with a five square meters Radar Cross Section (RCS) at ranges of 170-180 kilometers in the forward hemisphere or 60 kilometers in the rear hemisphere while tracking 30 targets and engaging six of them simultaneously. It can track up to four ground/sea targets simultaneously. In the air-to-ground mode, the Zhuk-MSFE is capable of detecting armored formations at ranges of 30 kilometers and railway bridges at ranges of 130 kilometers. The phased array Zhuk-MSFE is the most capable version of the Zhuk family of airborne radar systems."

F-16 BLK 60 is NOT in USAF.

It was produced by U.A.E.
