Why do they have to censor the serial number of the bird?
Israelis did the same, possibly to confuse the prying eyes as to how many birds are in service...... why does one get the feeling that the PAF may end up with more than the documented numbers. ??
Is that JDAM or GBU being kitted out .?

The Royal Danish Air Force (RDAF) has conducted the first operational flight of the night vision cueing and display / aviator's night vision imaging system (NVCD/ANVIS) in an F-16 MLU M5 configuration aircraft.
The operational flight of NVCD/ANVIS, developed by Vision Systems International (VSI), was conducted as part of Operation Unified Protector in Libya.
The NVCD/ANVIS, based on ANVIS-F4949 night vision goggles (NVGs), is an additional capability to the joint helmet-mounted cueing system (JHMCS) to allow the cueing of weapons and sensors at night.
VSI president Drew Brugal said the system had been validated and matured to successfully execute air-to-air and air-to-ground tactical missions at night.
The RDAF are participating in the UN enforcement of the no fly zone in Libya.
Funny though.. there are sites that have all the serial numbers on them.
It may also be a move to mask operational usage.
So if a particular serial number is asked to move to an FOB on an AHQ paper, and if enemy gets that intel , how does one know what jet has gone there?
is 10-859 a F-16 Block 52, or is at a JF-17?
Agreed and logically correct but one wonders why just one squadron would be singled out for the confidential measures. ??
If my memory is correct PAF's MLU are M5 MLU upgardes. I suspect, Sniper pox will be integratable to MLUsum after recieving the upgrades, will our blk-15s be able to carry these new pods??? lets say sniper? or is it just exclusively for blk-52s....?
