The F-16 has a massive advantage when it comes to stuff like recce and payload. Especially through the DB-110, you can survey wide areas of land and relay the live feed back to a ground station to then provide to ground/air units. It also has the sensor advantage for now too and potentially the munitions advantage also.

Does the JF 17 or Mirage have a sensor like the DB 110?I once heard that we had a separate Mirage variant for reconnaissance?

 

[Incog_nito]

Any news/updates on the 34 Iraqi F-16s deal with PAF?

And also the news update on the another 8 F-16 Block-52s we ordered from Lockheed Martin USA:

There was a recce mirage ye, however you have to develop the imagery and whatnot.

The DB110 provides real time feed to ground stations and has impressive resolution and range, you can even recce the indians from our side of the border.

the JF17 does not have such a solution.

The huge pod at the centreline pylon of this Pakistan Air Force F-16D Block 52 is an advanced UTC DB-110 long-range, compact, day/night, two-axis stabilized, real-time airborne tactical reconnaissance pod directly derived from reconnaissance systems onboard the U2 spyplane.


The pod has been designed for operations at medium and high altitude (10,000- to 80,000-ft) and low subsonic and supersonic speed (0.1 to 1.6 Mach) delivering high resolution infrared and visible bands imagery at extremely long ranges. The DB-110 offers unparalleled,
state-of-the-art ISR capabilities with visible light and infrared electro-optical sensors at a standoff range of 150+ kms. The pod can work at high altitudes in day & night and collects 10,000+ square miles of very high-resolution imagery per hour. Each pod costs $14.4 Million.

Do we have any other pods like the DB 110?

PAF Mirages have been seen with LOROP Pods.

How do they compare with DB 110?

How do they compare with DB 110?

Dont compare at all. 1970s tech vs 2000s

There was a time when PAF was using Google Maps for reconnaissance. How far have we come.

Not long ago actually I listened ex Cheif Rao Qamar interview about using Google map

 

[Thorough Pro]

The way things are going right now, I hope we have enough spares.
That is why I was happy when we did not get the 8 additional and the Zulus. Freedom is a great feeling.

[Raja Porus]

Can anyone tell the number of IAF bases along with locations, in Kashmir and northern punjab, including FOBs.
