Wikipedia shows Venezuelan AF has just 12 F-16A/Bs, I dont think they have been properly maintained. Used F-16s from a EU NATO country looking to downsize seem more likely.

I think Venezuela sold it's F16s to Iran a few months ago

If I am not mistaken they are block 5. They are older than our block 15s and their utility is doubtful. The Venezuelan Govtt might want to sell but PAF will not buy those planes.

They threatened to sell to Iran but they couldnt so just rumours. Venezuela is unable to find buyers, PAF doesn't seem interested in them too, it will have better options elsewhere.

I wouldn't be interested in buying F16 A/Bs either. They're almost obsolete.

These F-16s can be used for basic Pilot trainings or as spares if available at throw away price.

After upgrades F16s get a new life. US is currently upgrading nearly 400 F16s for its air force.

But sir the Venezuelan ones are decades old. Venezuelan was one of the first export customer and got there Blk-15 planes in 1983, also these planes have been hit by embargo. I don't think there will be much life left in these not even after massive upgrades.

I'm not advocating buying them. Some poster started this nonsense. Lots of rumours going on the PDF these days.

Gussa na krain sir jee, You should be grateful that those posters restricted themselves to F-16, no matter how old these are and how stupid that move may be, at least it have some platform commonality, will fit with our fleet as we operate F-16. Shukar krain,,, warna we have people claiming PAF going for Su-35, Army getting FOUR different attack helicopters, about a dozen different IFV are being associated with PA. Navy walay tora sukoon mein haan bs..
