The khaleeji with all the wealth at their disposal could have done so much for them selves and even for the rest of the Muslims, if they had choosen. They could have been the real power in the region and the middleast. But they did nothing n now that party is comming to an end. That friend is an example of human will power.

I don't know if we r God's gift to the earth or not but ever time the khaleejis a$s has been on fire they always ran to Pakistan for help. So maybe we r God's gift for the khaleejis.
certainly we Pakistanis have our problems and our faults but not as extensive as our khaleeji brothers.

Keeping India at bay which is 7 times bigger than Pakistan certainly tells us that 1 Pakistan is equal to at least 7 indians.

Again the Saudi team is trained, led and manned by ex red arrow RAF pilots with a "quite" a few Saudi pilots in the mix.

Ps: the "quite" i put their satisfy ur ego.

The ex-Red Arrows pilot is an adviser and they only have one on their team. Bulk of their team are Saudis and by that I mean all display pilots. And almost all are top graduates and instructors.

Let's bring it back to Vipers.

Might be a long shot, But apparently, the UAE is interested in selling some of their F-16's after getting their F-35's. Maybe there is a slim chance PAF could try to go for them?

IMO...no chance. The best shot we have is convincing the US to let us get Iraq's F-16s (commonality with our frames and no sensitive tech we don't already have).

No chance. UAE will never sell them, and Greece will never buy them. Also F-35 deal far far from being approved.

Very slim to no chance for Block 60s ending up in PAF service. The irony though, I know a few Emirati Viper drivers that started their careers flying Vipers in Turkey with TuAF before converting to the Block 60s in the US. Seeing this on the news shows how things can turn around......

 

[Trailer23]

Not sure where the thought of PAF getting those Block 60's came from.

Those are still new jets and (personally) I doubt if the UAEAF would want to part ways from them when they have older Mirage 2000's in their inventory.

Infact, some have even suggested that those very Block 60 (Desert Falcons) may be more advanced than the upcoming Block 70/72. [Don't know for a fact - so don't crucify me for that statement].

I don't know why people get excited about something - pretty much next to impossible. These articles have next to no source and are merely speculating that (if) the UAEAF get the F-35's, they want to offload their Vipers. (If) the UAEAF were to get F-35's, they aren't coming out of the oven readymade. There will be a Tender, followed by approvals and then an order. Unless they're gonna be able to jump the cue ahead of other NATO Members, it'll be a while before the 1st one lands. Even then, it would be a stretch to see them lose those Vipers. F-35 or not, those Block 60's are Beasts.

As far as PAF is concerned, we can't seem to get our hands on older F-16's like Block 25's or 30's and here people are actually putting PAF & Block 60 in the same sentence.

I'm sorry, but that's just as absurd as PAF and J-15/16 & JH-7 drama.

The only Vipers I (personally) see heading to Pakistan are those Block 25's/30's (ex-USAF/Air National Guard) - and that will become clearer after the US Elections.
