Blk 72 not blk 70? Pak was purchasing 18 blk 52 around 1.7 billions so prices pretty much same even radar and tech improved?
Do we even have any F-16's with GE Engines (including the Jordanian F-16's)? I was always under the impression that all of ours are Pratt & Whitney.Blk 70 = GE engine
F110-GE-129 = 29,000lb thrust
or
F110-GE-132 = 32,500lb thrust
Blk 72 = PW engine
F100-PW-229 = 29,000lb thrust
Is it possible to get all Venezuelan F16? They are probably not flying them anymore!
what range, in miles or kms, you have in mind?The recent standoff against IN has exposed the soft underbelly of our naval air power. We have no long range fighters to provide cover for our ASW assets. Thus in turn means IN submarines will have free reign over a vast area of the ocean, restricting movement of our surface assets. We need something like Su-35 today, and no this is not a fanboy wish list.
Second, Azm is nothing but a wish list. First of all, the entire program is structured in a vague manner with too broad a scope. Second, it is not obvious if PAF decision makers are following the latest advances in anti-stealth technology. Given a lack of R&D, how can PAF air marshals even know the efficacy of a given stealth design against modern radars? I have serious concerns that this project will deliver too little, too late, at too great an expense. Now if they restructure it so that we see small improvements coming out consistently and getting inducted into PAF, I would say we are safe.

Thanks, you still did not answer my question. In what you shared, Su-35 is having a 1600 km combat radius, is it the range you have in mind?From Wikipedia you can see the following numbers. A package of 4 Su-35s can accompany a team of P-3 Orions and cover a wide area. The Flankers would provide top cover. If you throw air-to-air refuelling into the mix, a few packages would be enough to cover the entire Northern Arabian Sea.

They are flying them regularly with parts from Israel, mostly through the black market.Not worth it. They are in a bad shape with russian parts.
Also will upset the Pentagon.
those prices are old. That was the price of F16 in 1998.That is too much crashes
F-16 and J-10C is cheaper than JF 17???
What is the price of Rafale?
How is it too many crashes?That is too much crashes
F-16 and J-10C is cheaper than JF 17???

Paying through their nose to keep them up. All of things go wrong in black market support.They are flying them regularly with parts from Israel, mostly through the black market.
DefinitelyP
