[Raider 21]

Anyone got $8.5 Million stashed somewhere 'cause this F-16 can be yours...

According to its specs, it includes AN/APG-66(V)2 pulse doppler radar, a night vision-compatible cockpit, a data-bus for guided weapons and a joint helmet mounted cueing system.

Its listed maximum speed is Mach 2.05 at 40,000 feet, or roughly 1,570 miles per hour.

For the price tag, i'd be good for spares...

Top ACES in Canada are trying to buy them.

 

[Thorough Pro]

As far as I know, Turkey does not produce any upgrade kits for F-16, they come from US and installed by Turkish engineers.

if approved can turkey upgrade any F-16 we have ATM or we might buy second hand.

 

[CHI RULES]

Sir can any one shed light on specs of F16 block 70 and it's price tag along with specs of V upgrade along with cost per unit.

F-16 Block 70/72

The F-16 remains the world’s most successful, combat-proven multirole fighter.
Approximately 3,000 operational F-16s are in service today in 25 countries.



The F-16 Block 70/72 is the newest and most advanced F-16 production configuration, combining numerous capability and structural upgrades.

• New capabilities based on the advanced F-16V configuration
• Structural life more than 50 percent beyond that of previous production F-16 aircraft

The F-16 can fly and fight to 2070 and beyond. New production aircraft; structural, and capability upgrades ensure the F-16 can operate to 2070 and beyond.

Enhanced, Integrated Capabilities
The F-16 Block 70/72 combines capability upgrades, most notably the advanced Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) radar with a new avionics architecture, and structural upgrades to extend the structural life of the aircraft by more than 50 percent beyond that of previous production F-16 aircraft. F-16 Block 70 software takes advantage of technologies not available when earlier Block F-16s were developed and produced. Operational capabilities are enhanced through an advanced datalink, targeting pod and weapons; precision GPS navigation and the Automatic Ground Collision Avoidance System (Auto GCAS).

Advanced Weapons

Lockheed Martin has more than 36 years of weapon integration experience with the F-16. No other organization can match this weapons integration experience. In concert with the U.S. Air Force and multiple F-16 Foreign Military Sales customers, Lockheed Martin has certified more than 3,300 carriage and release configurations for greater that 180 weapon and store types. Our experience as a weapon integrator has enabled the F-16 to be one of the most versatile multirole fighters ever.
Advanced AESA Radar
Northrop Grumman’s advanced APG-83 AESA radar delivers greater situational awareness, flexibility and quicker all-weather targeting. The APG-83 provides pilots with unprecedented target area detail and digital map displays that can be tailored with slew and zoom features. The APG-83 provides F-16s with 5th Generation fighter radar capabilities by leveraging hardware and software commonality with F-22 and F-35 AESA radars.
Enhanced Battlespace Awareness
Another key feature of the F-16 Block 70 configuration is the new Center Pedestal Display (CPD), which provides critical tactical imagery to pilots on a high-resolution 6”x 8” screen. The high-resolution display allows pilots to take full advantage of AESA and targeting pod data. The new CPD enables color moving maps, larger and easier to manage air-to-air Situation Displays, zoom functionality with the ability to switch information among displays, and a digital display of Flight Instrument Data. The CPD is also compatible with the Night Vision Imaging System.
Auto GCAS
The Automatic Ground Collision Avoidance System (Auto GCAS) was purpose-built to prevent deadly crashes and has already saved the lives of seven pilots and six F-16s since the system entered service with the U.S. Air Force in late 2014. The Auto GCAS is designed to reduce incidents of what is known as controlled flight into terrain, or CFIT. According to U.S. Air Force statistics, CFIT incidents account for 26 percent of aircraft losses and a staggering 75 percent of all F-16 pilot fatalities.

The F-16 Auto GCAS system is currently being integrated into the U.S. Air Force’s F-16 fleet and the Air Force and Lockheed Martin plan to develop similar systems for the F-22 and F-35. Current plans call for fielding an Auto GCAS on the F-35 by 2019. The F-35 Joint Program Office estimates the Auto GCAS will prevent more than 26 ground collisions during the service of the F-35 fleet.

Comprehensive Global Sustainment
As F-16 Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), Lockheed Martin is uniquely qualified to design, engineer, develop, integrate and sustain a complete F-16 weapons system solution tailored to meet customer requirements. With aircraft based at more than 80 locations worldwide, from the hottest climates to the coldest, Lockheed Martin offers complete sustainment solutions for any customer force size, operational concept and support arrangement.

Lockheed Martin leverages its F-16 experience to increase the commonality and interoperability of F-16 fleets around the world. International F-16 upgrade programs combine the requirements of many customers for long-term cost savings through commonality and interoperability. F-16 avionics upgrades can be integrated quickly, affordably and effectively by leveraging on-going Foreign Military Sales (FMS) investments in F-16 modernization.

In a way the end to end package would be around USD400-500 mil. PAF procured a squadron of ADF fighters from Jordan at 2.5billion USD. This deal is expensive comparatively.

?? 2.5 ? Making up this number ?? What is ur source

It’s clearly call out in paf history plus mod annual report and ur number is just pure bs

Please do not make up things up

Thanks
