L3Harris Technologies Inc., Clifton, New Jersey, has been awarded a $97,505,000 indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract to provide repair and return (R&R) services for unclassified and classified line-replaceable unit/standard equipment module assets of the ALQ-211 (V)4, (V)8, and (V)9 systems of the airborne F-16 Advanced Integrated Defense Electronic Warfare Suite (AIDEWS) weapon systems. This contract involves Foreign Military Sales (FMS) to support air forces of Chile, India, Oman, Pakistan, Poland, Turkey, Iraq and Morocco. Procurement of these R&R logistical support services is necessary to restore F-16 AIDEWS systems to mission capable condition and to equip partnering F-16 FMS fleets with airborne self-defense and survivability against electromagnetic threats. Work will be performed in Clifton, New Jersey, and is expected to be completed by Oct. 29, 2025. This award is the result of a sole-source acquisition. FMS funds in the amount of $73,000 are being obligated at the time of award. The Air Force Life Cycle Management Center, Robins Air Force Base, Georgia, is the contracting activity (FA8523-21-D-0001).

No it probably does mean India. Possibly their C-130 fleet or the Apaches.

Perhaps used in their Tejas "fighter jets"?

Yes, but the notification indicates the systems were all F-16 compatible. I am aware that ALQ-211/AIDEWS can be carried by other aircraft but the notification is F-16 specific. None of the other countries mentioned operate Apache/C-130J.

Good Pakistan back in FMS

There's a been a couple before this too, most memorable one being the contract to monitor the Block 52 F-16s last summer.

Always has been if you look at DoD Contract history. Difference is now we are just spending small amounts to maintain current US weapons, no major new purchases of hardware

Exports.

It was reported in June 2015 that JF-17 secured its first export contract from an Asian customer which turned out to be Myanmar. The $560m contract could involve an initial batch of 16 aircraft. A recent image (July 2016) suggested that the 04 prototype has been wearing a new blue color scheme based upon customer's requirements. The first JF-17M (Block II standard) had its maiden flight at CAC on June 13, 2017, featuring a blue/gray camouflage and a color LED landing light on the front landing gear similar to that onboard JF-17B. However the aircraft appears to lack the IFR capability. It was reported in September 2016 that Nigerian AF has decided to acquire JF-17. The initial batch of 3 (later 4?) JF-17N is expected to be delivered in November 2020. All (720, 721, 722, 702?) were speculated to have been built by early 2020. A recent news (December 2017) indicated that JF-17 Block III entered the preliminary design stage in October 2017. A recent image (October 2018) indicated that the first batch of 5 JF-17Ms (S/N 1701-1705) were delivered to Myanmar Air Force, which has become the second customer of the aircraft.

Not sure if these have been posted before, but talented Turkish designer behind the tail art of 2 F-7 squadrons in PAF. Lots of extremely nice patch designs.

A slightly dated article on the Meteor missile that people maybe interested to read if they have not seen it before.

Is the European Meteor Air-To-Air Missile Really the Best in the World?

Some would say the best arrow is the one still left in your quiver.

Talons at Mianwali/M.M.Alam AB nowadays?
At least a handful with these very markings were landing at that base, see Hum News 7 September footage:

Could be that both Samunguli and Peshawar both have a JF-17 unit and a F-7PG unit each. Could be that each air bases is getting a second JF-17 unit and in that case it would make sense to consolidate all F-7s at Mianwali.

Likewise when a second JF-17 unit reaches Masroor than I imagine all the Mirage units will be consolidate at Rafiqui. This would be entirely logical from a logistics, training and economic point of view. 1 Mirage base, 1 F-7 base, then the "teeth" of PAF consisting of 3 F-16 airbases and 4 JF-17 airbases.

No. 14 squadron is moving to Rafiqui. If it is a permanent move, it'll be an end to Kamra hosting a very prestigious squadron.

No. 2 squadron is moving to Jacobabad.
