Pakistan Air Force gets Three F-16 jets from US
February 6, 2012
By Ali Hussain
ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Air Force (PAF) on Monday received three more F-16 fighter gets from United Sates.
A PAF spokesman said that Pakistan Air Force received three F-16 fighter jets. He added among the planes, two are upgraded F-16 while the other is latest Block-52.
The three aircraft are part of the final batch of 18 F-16 block 52 aircraft from Lockheed Martin as part of a foreign military sale (FMS) of 36 F-16C/D block 50/52 aircraft announced in June 2005.
Under the US-Pakistan F-16 programme, Lockheed was awarded a contract for 12 F-16C and six F-16D block 52 aircraft in December 2006. The delivery comes at a time when military aid for Pakistan has been almost completely halted by the US in the wake of a series of crises affecting the bilateral relationship between the two nations.
Pakistan has already received block 52 versions of the F-16 aircraft, which includes day-night, all-weather and precision-attack capabilities. The compact multirole, single-engine Lockheed Martin-built F-16 Fighting Falcon aircraft has a high level of manoeuvrability, a top speed of 2,124km/h, and can detect planes flying at very low altitudes.
The F-16 block 52 aircraft provides additional fuel and payload capacity, improved avionics and sensors, and colour cockpit displays with enhanced pilot/vehicle interfaces.
The US is also working with the PAF to update 45 F-16s from its existing fighter fleet through the US foreign military financing security assistance programme. The aircraft are currently undergoing mid-life upgrades and deliveries are scheduled to take place throughout 2012 and 2013.

Mr Han we dont need to steal Russian Turbine Technology like China just ask them. By the way wake up ...Kaveri core doesnt match with any RD series or AL or Kilmov series.....To design TJ-Core mono Block fans is a specialized skill which needs massive expertise.Like India is trying to extract Russian engine secretes relentlessly without success since past 15 years. Remember Kaveri Engine.
Thats not the case. It was in U.S for weapons integration to a PAF customized Bk52 aircraft. Most probably AN/ALQ-211 v9 is integrated too, hence no reason for its stay there.What foolishness! We have already received 17 earlier and got one out of these three of that batch!
