We got 'em in 83 and it was an early version till recently MLUed while u.s and other countries got receiving upgrades specially from block 30/32 onwards around 89-90 which developed night time precision strike capabilities.Yet it could still perform(our version) air-to-air and air-to-ground mission hence the term multirole and fly in night time but couldn't deliver precision bombs at night.If not sanctioned, it would've been another story

"Db-110 - the eye of Falcons"

A F-16 Block52 equipped with DB-110 reconnaissance and long range photography pod.

DB-110 is the most advanced electro-optical infrared (EO/IR) reconnaissance pod available for the F-16. It provides long-range, high-resolution, stand off imaging capability to support both day and night tactical operations. Images can be transmitted from aircraft to analysts on the ground in real time.

very useful in locating militant hideouts, then blow them up with PGMs. no muss no fuss.

Is there a difference in the Tail Root of the TuAF or is it just the camera shot? There is a roundel on the fuselage of TuAF where as PAF does not have it why?

There is due to different production blocks.Roundel is not a big deal, aircraft is yours to put as many.

Acquiring the J-10 has become a dream now =/

我知道巴基斯坦用美制F16用了几十年，可是美国人并不愿意分享哪怕是维修技术，连个维修基地都没有在巴基斯坦设立，而且也曾因为和印度的关系在巴基斯坦存亡关头违约拒绝交付巴已购买的F16，使用F16可能有现实的必要性在里面，但是长远来看，甚至不及枭龙战机的改进型。另外，不低于F16战力的战机中国也可以提供，我不认为美国人在对巴基斯坦的关系上能做的比中国好，比中国坦诚。

那倒不一定，话说J-10一直是在改进中，暂时不能进入巴基斯坦是受限于巴财政以及后勤保障方面，主动权在于巴基斯坦，我想我的国家对于J-10出口到巴基斯坦是非常乐意的，不存在什么障碍！

ZooM IN
AIM-9M Sidewinder

The AIM-9M, currently the only operational variant, has the all-aspect capability of the L model, but provides all-around higher performance. The M model has improved defense against infrared countermeasures, enhanced background discrimination capability, and a reduced-smoke rocket motor. These modifications increase ability to locate and lock-on a target and decrease the missile's chances for detection.
