Six new F-16 block 52 have entered the Pakistan air space.

Where are they going to land ??

 

[Arsalan]

With six already in service and with the arrival of same quantity, the first PAF Block-52 Squadron should be able to stand up, while the balance six aircraft would bring the squadron to full strength with a couple on reserve.

for me 18 jet squadron is a bit low in number.
it is the Think Tank deceiding on numbers and are surely wiser then me but as far as i think there must be atleast 21 jet is a squadron with two in reserve thus the strenth stands at 19 available all time.

atleast we must practce this with our JFT squadrons!

regards!

US Administration will hand over six more F-16 Block-52 fighter jets, which will enter in Pakistan territory on Saturday flying by Pakistani pilots.

The jets will land at the Shahbaz Airbase of Pakistan Air Force (PAF) in Jacobabad.

they ahve reached Shahbaz airbase, i got a friend stationed there and he confirms that the birds have landed.


congrats to all!

No these are newly built F-16's.

Thank you for confirming,
But if i am not wrong, one F16 costs 18.8 Mn Dlrs.
Do we have enough budget for that ??

its much more than what you are stating each f-16 c/d block 52 costs ~40 million dollars per piece and this price is excluding the goodies we are buying
