Pakistan begins talks with US for more F-16 and may be one more Oliver Hazard Class Frigate.

Why buy more old F-16s. The J-10 is better politically and militarily.

Pakistan wants both

J10c we will buy in numbers but it takes time to build up the infrastructure, pilot numbers and capabilities

F16s we already have everything,, any induction is quick and we have pilots with years and years of experience


It makes absolute sense for us to get as many F16s as we possibly can to utilise our built up infrastructure and experience

If they can continue to build up our F16 fleet on the cheap as we purchase J10c and JF17S then it makes perfect sense for us

don't believe it, If it is true, just imagine what are we selling.

Regime change and then Bajwa's visit in the US and meeting officials, they probably have interest in Afghanistan which they want to use Pakistan for.

J10Cs are more advanced than F-16s?

J-10C is the most capable jet in PAF by a considerable margin.

Excellent choice. But PAF and F16s will remain together for quite a while yet.

Yes, but PAF will not buy any more F-16s, when J-10Cs are available.

 

[VCheng]

Yes, but PAF will not buy any more F-16s, when J-10Cs are available.

Let us wait and see, shall we?

 

[hussain0216]

Yes, but PAF will not buy any more F-16s, when J-10Cs are available.

On the contrary Pakistan will want to maximize use of existing infrastructure, experience and pilot pool, if it can pick up capable F16s at knock down costs with the option of upgrades and support from Turkey for example then why not, J10C numbers will be built up gradually over time

 

[doorstar]

they have their priorities set. Do you have yours ?

he has his location flag set to Pakistan instead of UK, what more do you want from internet jehadis (from overseas)? what more do you want them to do other than inciting terror in Pakistan from a safe distance abroad?

do you not remember pajeet devil Ajeet Doval and his 'offensive defensive' plan? this is it!

If what you are saying is correct, why buy J-10Cs in the first place?

Let us wait and see, shall we?

Indeed we shall see. Probably PAF will wisen up and buy more J-10Cs.

 

[VCheng]

Indeed we shall see. Probably PAF will wisen up and buy more J-10Cs

The choice here depends on so more than mere wisdom, but what is the rush to judge PAF? Indeed, patience may be a good thing here for us all.

J-10C was a more realistic and political choice than purchasing more F-16s. We shall see which PAF will choose in the future.

 

[VCheng]

We shall see which PAF will choose in the future.

Okay then. Let us resume this when we know.

 

[MultaniGuy]

Okay then. Let us resume this when we know.

Then I started laughing, the top brass are not idiots either in Pakistan.

Okay then. Let us resume this when we know.

And if America was being so generous, the top brass in Pakistan would have bought more F-16s.

But instead opted for the more practical and realistic option of J-10Cs.

 

[Zarvan]

Is J-16 available for export?

@Beast

If we want it would be. There is no issue of Russia it's our mindset and not liking dual engine planes that much.
