Pakistan F-16 Discussions 2

Not PAF. DMA ripped it off a B-course vid.

Rather foolish of them if so since they had plenty of similar material on PAF.

You might disagree with me but my view is that non-airforce personnel should not be allowed to fly front line fighters. This trend was started by Kiyani and now everyone wants a joyride in F.16's.

If they're so interested in getting a taste of flying then they should be offered to fly in trainers.

Talat Husaain (Journalist) flew in F16 much before Kayani,back in 2004

And I think his son or nephew is in PAF flying Mirages

Nephew, flying a different platform now

Yes I've watched the video of Talat Hussain's flight,along with Shahid Khaqan Abbasi he's probably the only other civilian who got an incentive ride in an F.16.

My point was regarding the army top brass opting for joyrides,if they're so keen on having a taste of flying then they should be offered a flight in a trainer not in Block 52's.

AFAIK such invites are sent by the AF itself and not requested by the Generals,you think every Joint Chief requests an incentive ride right before he retires from his office?

Abbasi was invited because of his passion for aviation and his family members serving in the Air Force and ofcourse he was PM back then..

in an ideal world a squadron worth of Block 70/72s, an AIM120D package, and upgradation of the rest of the fleet to Viper standard (if possible) could've solved the Rafale question. dunno what's the update. will Biden's entry change stuff. no idea.

no, what happened was CSF was not able to be used, so the PAF had to pay full price as opposed to the subsidized price, at which point they turned them down as it was far too expensive.

With a possible new Biden administration, what are the chances Pakistan can acquire at least 18-24 Block 72 F-16s, upgrade the existing fleet, and acquire weapons and spares through CSF, in order to “maintain the balance in the region”.

Feb ‘19 showed Pakistan used the F-16s in a careful manner as not to escalate the situation. PAF f-16s helped to keep the peace, and helping Pakistan maintain technological parity vis a vi India prevents dramatic sudden escalations spiraling out of control.

im pretty hopeful tbh. Biden's Afghanistan plan includes asking the Pak Govt for some permanent bases to monitor Afghanistan, this obviously gives us MASSIVE leverage on the US once again, grabbing them by the balls to get as much as we can out of them.

Biden will be a lot more pro India then Trump ever was.

Obama administration was ok with CSF not Trump later

Biden will be a lot more pro India then Trump ever was.

sorry, not CSF, but it was another program which subsidized the cost of the aircraft. This is why they were not bought as they were full price
