This doesn't fall under security assistance, which is still suspended. USA is spending this money on 60+ Americans who monitor end user agreement, which is in their own interests.

The US State Department approved a possible Foreign Military Sale to Pakistan for continued support of the F-16 program. The FMS is valued at $125 million. The Government of Pakistan had requested a continuation of technical support services, US Government and contractor technical and logistics support services, and other related elements of logistics support to assist in the oversight of operations in support of the Pakistan Peace Drive advanced F-16 program. Pakistan has used the F-16 fighter jets against India, the latest being in the aftermath of the Balakot airstrike inside Pakistan by India. The program raised the total number of F-16s ordered by Pakistan to 54. The Pakistan Air Force received its first F-16, in the block 15 F-16A/B configuration, in 1982.

The biggest thing this news really confirms is that PAF is not very worried about the rampant kill-switch threads on this forum that use to pop up pre-February 27th. PAF requesting a continuation of oversight of the F-16s by the US. Guess they must know something we dont.

PS, this news has no relation to the alleged acquisition of the block 72s in the future.

Which Anti aircraft gun is that?

 

[Yasser76]

Small but interesting point. The deal mentions looking after PAF's fleet of over "60 F-16" when we have around 75. This leads to believe that the security and oversight deal only cover the technology within the Block 52s and the MLUs. It DOES NOT cover the Jordanian F-16s that were not upgraded to that standard.Hence why we do not need to station them at Shabaz AFB or Mushaf AFB were the oversight teams are.

The export variant of J-10C might be called J-10CE. The latest rumor (July 2019) suggested that a new batch of J-10C powered by the indigenous WS-10B turbofan without the TVC nozzle has been in production.

Pakistan don t need TVC. TVC only good for acrobats , in real war scenario it has no role. When the plane activates TVC, it slows down and consume more fuel. Which is lethal for any strike or interceptor role
