ANKARA — Turkish Aerospace Industries has modernized the last four of Pakistan's F-16 fighter jets, completing a five-year contract. The remaining four aircraft will be handed over in a ceremony in Ankara on Tuesday. The company, known by the acronym TUSAŞ, signed a contract with Pakistan's Ministry of Defense in 2009. Under the program, Turkish technicians were to upgrade and test 41 aircraft. The first of the planes were delivered two years ago. TUSAŞ began co-producing U.S.-designed F-16s for the Turkish Air Force in 1984 and is one of the world's main aerospace companies involved in F-16 manufacture and modernization.

It has also upgraded the Royal Jordanian Air Force's F-16s. In a related development, fighter jets from Turkey and Pakistan joined a joint military exercise in central Turkey's Konya that started yesterday. The exercise is part of Turkey's year-long Anatolian Eagle exercise that brings together fighter jet pilots from different countries.

As mentioned few months ago -

Pak Air force should invest heavily in drone based technology.

Automated drones (much bigger than what we see) capable of aerial refueling. These drones have short nozzles and the fighter plane is capable to takeover the drone functions (automated) at a certain proximity via software integration. This will ensure smooth air to air refueling while minimizing the risk and the cost.

I think this tech makes sense and can be a great money maker for PAF.

Signal blocking/interception remains a challenge.

The bird cutter antennas are obvious, but i guess others include more of structural and avionics upgrades in the package.

A lot of the upgrades are replacement of older components, and generally less of bolting on new pieces. That is because there are structural limitations that come with the older F-16s. Which is why despite the general perception that the MLU takes the older B-15s to B-52 level.. the latter is still more advanced with certain features and capabilities that cannot be included into the older airframe due to lack of space and internal structure.
