Pakistan buys 13 F16 from Jordan

[rockstar08]

great move by Paf , F-16s are always like first love for Paf, and it has so many room for up gradation, we should buy more F-16s and upgrade them to at least blk-40 and to blk 50/52 if possible , in limited budget its a very brilliant move from paf . and i agree with member who say we should at least have 100 F-16s in our inventory , cause i dont see any other 5th gen fighter in paf inventory in near future ... j-10 deal is already over ... better to start replacing f-7s by f-16s and Jf's .....

i have a question for some senior member , paf operates 63 f-16s but i read somewhere in this forum that all our F-16s are now upgraded to blk 50/52's , is that true ? ?

Saudi Arabia, Jordan, RJAF and Eurofighter deal Nov 12, 2012

Source: Tactical Report - Saudi Arabia, Jordan, RJAF and Eurofighter deal

Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Britain are said to be holding contacts about the possibility of the Saudis providing a financial support for Jordan to buy the Eurofighter Typhoon for the Royal Jordanian Air Force (RJAF). The following 420-word report sheds light on the subject and tells what about the deal and what about the contacts underway. It also tells what about the Saudi reaction.

So perhaps in 3-4 Years RJAF starts to gets their brand new squadron of Typhoons.

It doesn't make any sense at all from an Indian perspective.
But from Pakistan and Jordanian it does.
Pakistan need ADFs to replace the F-7s.
While Jordan needs light fighter/bombers and JF-17s fit the bill.

Jordan is in talk to buy Typhoon.

In terms of avionics.. yes. The only way the Block 50/52s are superior to our older F-16s is their ability to carry their ECM systems internally.. and their range via the conformal fuel tanks. Other than that, the older F-16s and the newer F-16 block-52s carry identical avionics and weapons capabilities.

Great news I hope we can use them to JDAM the Talibitches into oblivion......

I have been saying this for a while that Pakistan should buy these used F-16 and upgrade them with MLU kits thru Turkey. These F-16 Block B were great WVR dogfight aircrafts and with the upgrade they can turn into a potent present day fighter. Normally , these used fighters can be purchased quite cheaply and even with the cost of upgrades they may cost Pakistan less than 15 million dollars per copy which is 10 million USD less than a JF-17 Block II but is just as potent , if not more.

Good job Pakistan Air Force. Get some more.

A quick question. Can CFTs be added to MLUs?

 

[Surenas]

Why would anyone want to buy 3rd hand planes?

because they are good enough to face off with 30 year old indian mirage 2000s and mig-29s in a very affordable way...

am pretty sure there is kc130 on the wish list. Besides that 18 mlu packages and 18 ex jordan f16's. But let us wait and see.

 

[Imran Khan]

all of you forget one thing here age and usage of that birds

 

[Munir]

I misread 13 as 18 or the number of planes were lowered due to the trade we are going to do (swap F16-JF17). Maybe totally fabricated but we will see.
