The dual seater normally can serve as a trainer or a ''wild weasel'' role, the ''D'' version of the aircraft is probably the most capable system in the subcontinent.
Why they buy more? 10 jets not going to make difference! We need money for PIA (each f16 can buy one or two a320, creating revenue for gov't), education or research into further advancing jst. Stop relying on us
That's true but a certain scum of the society is desperate to destroy such institutions we already have in place. Any additions to our air assets will further help in eliminating these elements.
But we're fighting taliban, even the j7 old crafts are good enough? Lastly, we need helicopters more and drones for these guys than jets. We can have like 50 helicopters instead of 10 f16s
F16 unit cost 38mn$ each
Bulk discount. Also the f16, are they used? I think that pricing is from 90s-2000s and it costs much much more.. jst costs 25-30m man. And the new f15se gonna cost 100m.
yes that's why terrorist destroyed saabs and orions
Even with destroyed saab..we are fully covered and have more than enough air surveillance capability.
