It's a good development but just to question...aren't we heading towards the stage that F-16s shall become our Mirages till the end of the next decade.??

PAF inducts first batch of F-16 fighter jets from Jordan - Pakistan - DAWN.COM

 

[ziaulislam]

Maybe the U.S does not consider 13 used aircrafts as a game changer in our region -- I know mr mastaan will not agree and say that this is a massive 20% increase in force

of course it isnt, as india is flexing it musles with upgraded mirages more su 30 , rafale is about to come and last but not the least we will be seeing their fifth gen platform within the next decade, all of these are at par with f-16s

Get a mental checkup, Imran.

These F-16s have good amount of life in them. Planes as old as 50 years are in services, like C-130s and B52s. Not to mention the Mig 21s/F-7s and Mirage III/V

 

[VCheng]

True, but skipping procedure altogether?? That is almost Israel like

This is not a skipping of procedures. It is just that there are several pathways available to get the job done. I am sure that the records show that these aircraft will enhance anti-terrorism efforts in the region, and therefore Presidential rather than Congressional approval will suffice.

let me remember you in first world air forces fighter jets of same age are in muesium these days

 

[VCheng]

@VCheng did congress approve this deal lol

No, Congress did not, but the President did, as help for the anti-terror effort in the region.

 

[Donatello]

let me remember you in first world air forces fighter jets of same age are in muesium these days

So you are telling me that B-52s and C130s have all been retired? Or the P3C orions?

Imran, you are an old member here, please stop this old this old that non-sense.
