kids talking about f-15's not knowing about operational costs, you can fly 2 f-16 for the cost of 1 f-15. BUT THEN AGAIN AIR SUPERIORITY

Hi,

Indeed---the price to pay for air superiority is heavy---.

Should have bought the Mirage2K's or F16's or Rafale in a timely manner---.

Man whatever the reason, the argument of Congress halting sale and POTUS can't do anything, is flawed and proven wrong with facts as discussed. What will happen in case of Pakistan, be seen when time comes but to say that Congress wouldn't do it, is merely nothing but an olive branch for the satisfaction of an individual. Whether POTUs does it in the name of National Security or like Meri Marzi; doesn't matter. The argument is settled & established the fact that Trump can do it regardless of Congress etc disagreement.



Literally surprised by the self satisfactory narrative that congress or democrats etc will do this or that where we have a settled case how Trump does it in case if he wants to. How he will do it, is the different matter but that is none of the concern as long as goodies coming home. Trump has already proven the narrative wrong.

However, how Trump makes an executive decision for Pakistan or wouldn't do it, is different thing but he has the authority to do it in-case we aren't able to convince Congress. Furthermore, LM has a good say in congress.

Hi,

We have to understand one thing---it is only and only Pres Trump who can dictate the congress and senate---.

After he is gone---it would be back to normal for the american congress---.

Yes PAF has the option to get 18 F-16 Block 52+ under $5.1 Billion aid program through FMS but FMS assistance or full payment comes up as bottle neck.

Still PAF should go for another 22 F-16 Block-52s + 10-12 C-130J30 along with some used aircrafts from USA.

50+ used F-16s A/B with MLU-4 and some for spares.
and spare for the existing C-130 fleet.

It's a Turkish F.16,only latest Turkish vipers block 50/52s have wide angle Raster HUDS's which were basically limited to Block 40's only.

Are those the ones used with Lantirn? Any other advantage relative to the ones used on our Block 52s?

They were used on Block 40 series for the Lantirn pod,I have not seen yet a Block 50 series carry the LANTIRN pod(not sure if the Egyptians use them on their latest vipers).

I like the nametag style. Very much like the ones for the first guys who trained with the Tucson ANG.
