It is, just not as "reliable" and readily integrated.@Oscar ....is this in same category as JDAM, except it's being produced by GIDS in Pakistan. ??
Pakistani GIDS TAKBIR Series Satellite Aided Inertially Guided Glide Bomb Family for precision attack against ground attack role.
In presence of SU-30MKI & upcoming PAK FA, do you think instead upgrading them Rafael has been bought along with TOT, a wise decision ?Naah.... my thoughts very clear.. try to get new aircraft.
Old aircraft can be upgraded but how long?
Go with chinese aircraft
Indian mirage 2000 also being upgrade but it can use only max 10-15 years..
Go with new... than use 30-35 years
If you are going for aid or soft loan then I doubt it, it is not going to be happening till 2020Yes you are right ... if we will pay to US for upgrade our F-16 with AESA system ... US will not do ...
yes F-16 is a best aircraft ever in the world ... but now we have to go with new aircraft ... yes with time we can try to upgrade F-16 with AESA, but right now we have to hard work with JF-17 with upgrade all next generation parts, have to buy 4.5 generation aircraft like j-10 b with New upgrade jF-17 block 1 2 3 then in 3rd option have to upgrade F-16 with AESA ... but US will not do that ...
If 1.2 billion dollars can be allocated for metro then AESA can also happen with funds. Infact 1.2 billion dollar is enough for entire 4G aircraft PAkistan has including JF-17 thunder. Contact Saab or northropgrummanNo money ....USA not willing....So its a no go on AESA from USA at least.
I understand they are GPS based. Are there plans to use Beidou Navigation Satellite System?It is, just not as "reliable" and readily integrated.

Su 30 mki...... coming from after 2000. So it will be atleast 2030-2035 till we can upgrade whatever we want..
I was saying f 16 is a gud plane but now how long it will use?
Well your choice .... mostly country already started phasing out n getting new aircrafts.
Pakistan defence is always neglected and hyped by NGOs, media and politiciansyes you are right ... that's the point ...... who will think about Upgrade our defense in army, air force, navy etc .... PML N will not do upgrade or new things.
what will we do with Metro ... PML N has to go for upgrade defense and will go for New things now...
Well there is a plan to upgrade mki to super sukhoi standard with new radars, uprated engines and reduced rcs etc. Rafale, Tejas are needed because we have a large fleet of old aircrafts to replace with them say around 300 of them.In presence of SU-30MKI & upcoming PAK FA, do you think instead upgrading them Rafael has been bought along with TOT, a wise decision

Adding an Aesa Radar to F-16 is not that simple as adding a deck to your car.
Such Addition would require redesigning the nose section of F-16.
It is easier for PAF to make such modification to JF-17 , since we have all the rights for modifications on that Fighter Aircraft.
South korea is upgrading its136 F-16 block 52 with costing 1.1 billion dollars including AESA Source: Raytheon Radar Wins S. Korea Fighter Upgrade | Defense News | defensenews.com
Pakistan has 76 F-16s majority MLU upgraded or block 52. I think it won't cost more than 500 million dollars to be equivalent to block 60. It would take PAf to have 4.5 / 4.75 generation fighters. Share your thoughts
