I have heard so much wrong info from commentators... Specially on an air show. We know what the first batch was. And that was not half of the fleet.

Okay i couldn't find the video, but here is a paragraph from Allan Warnes interview of PAF chief Rafiqui.
It was released on 28 October 2013. I am not subscribed to AFD so i can't post the link, but you can google it.

"PAF modernisation is not all about JF-17s though. The PAF is currently taking delivery of 41 F-16 Mid Life Upgrade (MLU) jets under Peace Drive II, which also includes several aircraft going through Falcon Up. The first deliveries took place in February 2012 after spending around 18 months at Turkish Aerospace Industries. The modernization is expected to be completed next year. The F-16MLUs will provide Pakistan’s F-16 with a 24 hour day/night capability which is badly needed. Half of them have now been delivered back to the PAF. “The newly upgraded F-16 MLU jets are being operated from Shahbaz Air Base and arrangements are being made for their re-basing to other locations. Other than engine and Conformal Fuel Tanks, the F-16 MLU and F-16C/D Blk-52+ are similar. Both versions have excellent night attack capabilities.”"

F-16 Fighting Falcon News
Pakistan acquiring F-16s from Jordan

February 19, 2014 (by Asif Shamim) - Pakistani press is reporting that the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) has acquired one squadron of F-16 multi-role fighter aircraft from Jordan with 13 being inducted into the service next month.

With the addition of these new airframes (12 A models and one B model aircraft) the PAF will reach 76 F-16s in service. Lockheed Martin and the US government has also given its nod for the sale/purchase of the planes.

Sources available to the 'The News' who published this story indicated the aircraft were in good condition since all had been updated to the Mid-Life Update (MLU) and they would be provide service for another 20 years with almost 3,000 hours on average available to them for flying. However sources declined to indicate how much this deal was worth and said more would be disclosed next month at the time the new jets were inducted into service.

However, it is understood that the used planes are cost-effective and could provide service for a fairly longer period of time. Pakistan is also contemplating to acquire more used planes for the PAF from some other countries while the induction of JF-17 Thunder aircraft, co-production of Pakistan and China, e is also underway simultaneously, the sources said.

Chief of the Air Staff (CAS), Air Chief Marshal Tahir Rafiq Butt, visited Jordan last year pursuing the sale of the aircraft. He and officials from Jordan had discussions about the sale/purchase and delivery deal.

well you may be right sir im not saying F16s is not a better plane but in this age now when russians have mastered the AESA , Gan based EW & counter maesures suites and wepons pakage Mig 29 is not that far behind + add to that more range on internal feul , lighter yet more robut airfarame and twin engines indias latest ugraded Mig 29's is more than a match for PAFs falcons :)
And you are doing the exact PAf vs IAf bullshit you said you wont. Banned from thread.


Did not know F-16s could do a handbrake turn like cars.. and needed to carry bombs to kill a simple drone.

List of 13 F16s ADF (Most of them)

Current active F-16 airframes assigned to RJAF 2 sqn

14th one, a 2 seater crashed in Jan 2014, the list still shows it active

F-16 Units - RJAF 2nd squadron

Original life 4000 hours, ANG flew them for ~3000 hours then stored, it got OCUed and ADFed (not Full MLU) adding another 4000 hours (total 5000 hours) plus engine upgrade to 220/E before RJAF got them, currently they have ~3000 hours or 20 years left

Compared to rest of PAF fleet it will fly with APG66A radar and not APG69(9) they can carry 600 Gallon tank for more air time in Air defense role (PAF F16s Carry 370 Gallon only except Blk 52). Paint scheme looks dirty and may be repainted
