ISLAMABAD: The US Embassy has confirmed that the F-16 program with Pakistan has not been stopped. The embassy says reports in the media about the stoppage of the program are not accurate.

According to a US Embassy statement, the planned delivery of the last “new-buy” F-16 purchased by Pakistan is scheduled to arrive from the United States in late January, 2012.

Several other F-16s purchased by Pakistan from the United States are undergoing mid-life upgrades and will arrive in Pakistan beginning in late January.
Deliveries will continue throughout this year and next.

Pakistan must stop military co-operation and minimize the ties but not totally boycott US! This thing doesn't work in the modern era, it's you will be the loser in the end.

ITT Exelis has successfully installed and tested a pod-mounted, advanced self-defense electronic warfare system on F-16 aircraft operated by an international customer.
The Airborne Integrated Defensive Electronic Warfare System, or AIDEWS (ALQ-211), completed several F-16 sorties and was tested against a wide variety of RF (radio frequency) threats. While this testing verified the effectiveness of the pod-mounted version, the system can be internally integrated as well. Either configuration offers next-generation integrated radar warning and electronic countermeasures capability with greatly reduced integration cost.
“This most recent exercise continues AIDEWS’ long track record of delivery and performance success,” said Rich Sorelle, vice president and general manager of Exelis Electronic Systems’ integrated electronic warfare systems business area. “Since AIDEWS is based on modular, scalable EW technology and has a large installed base, allied forces will have lower maintenance and upgrade costs.”
AIDEWS is built upon the proven ALQ-211 family of electronic warfare systems that support a broad range of U.S. and allied defense customers on rotary-wing and fighter aircraft. These include versions of the NH-90, V-22, MH-47, MH-60, F-16 and several commercial platforms. AIDEWS provides fighter pilots with situational awareness and protection against radar-based threats, including modern surface-to-air and air-to-air weapon systems.
The system is currently in full production with more than 180 under contract for six international customers. To date, 140 systems have been delivered, including continuous software support through regular system updates. These updates allow AIDEWS operators to optimize operational self-protection capabilities in an evolving environment throughout the aircraft life.
ITT Exelis Electronic Systems division provides innovative integrated solutions for the global defense, intelligence, information assurance and commercial aerospace sectors. As a leader in electronic warfare and communications, we leverage our experience and innovation to ensure the success of our customers’ critical missions. Our technology leadership extends into the areas of airborne electronic attack, networked and satellite communications, counter-improvised explosive devices, airspace management, surveillance systems, airborne and shipboard radar, acoustic sensors, advanced composite structures and electronic weapons interfaces.

[DEFENCE TALK]

THOUGH THE ARTICLE USED THE WORD ''F-16 OF AN INTERNATIONAL CUSTOMER'' I STRONGLY BELIEVE THAT ITS THE SAME PAF F-16D BLOCK 52+ SERIAL NUMBER #10801 WE WERE TALKING ABOUT.
 
Callsignalazeem Blk 52s already have this system (plz see specs in the initial pages), in my view this would be our MLUed aircraft. What do you think since our MLU kit was specified to have this as a poded system (again all details in this forum).

Dear Friend,How can it possibly be with the package delivered when the contract to provide pods was signed just 3 months ago,Had it been delivered we all would have seen it in the latest exclusive pics where we saw Sniper pod,JHMCS and AIM-120 on Block 52+.However on Block 52+ or MLU thats not the topic,

Regards.
 
Pakistan ready to receive 18 F-16 Block 52 fighter aircraft

(WAPA) - Pakistan Air Force (PAF) will receive 18 F-16 block 52 aircraft from Lockheed Martin later this month as part of a contract for the sale of 36 F-16C/D block 50/52 aircraft announced in June 2005. Lockheed Martin had been awarded a contract for 12 F-16C and six F-16D block 52 aircraft in December 2006.

Pakistan has already received block 52 versions of the F-16 Fighting Falcon aircraft, which includes day-night, all-weather and precision-attack capabilities. The compact multi-role, single-engine F-16 Fighting Falcon plane has a high level of manoeuvrability, a top speed of 2,124km/h; it can also detect planes flying at very low altitudes. The F-16 block 52 aircraft provides additional fuel and payload capacity and improved avionics and sensors.

The AN/APG-68 radar-equipped F-16 provides the pilot with separate air-to-air and air-to-ground modes, including long-range, all-aspect detection and tracking, simultaneous multiple-target tracking and high-resolution ground mapping. The F-16 is widely deployed by the air forces of Israel, Egypt, Iraq, New Zealand, South Korea, Chile, Poland, UAE, Bahrain, Greece and Singapore.

The US is also working with the PAF to modernise 45 F-16s from its existing fighter fleet through the US foreign military financing security assistance programme.

Now that is interesting, initially the order was cut back to 18 due to diversion of funds, and out of the blue 18 more have appeared.

If the news is true, then it's obvious why one of the "D" model was held back.
