Pakistan F-16 Discussions 2

Dude where will the B-52s come from? As in what country, as they are not in production.

Don't know , I just think if the opportunity is right paf should exercise it . Blk52 is a good airframe design and when coupled with updated avionics it will make a difference

There wont be any such opportunities as none of them are available nor in production. I wouldnt even hold my breath for used F-16A/Bs

If possible Pakistan should add two squadrons of used blk52 f16 ....

Forget F-16. JF block 3 and J-10C is the way forward.

So the US has authorized a 450 Million USD deal to update our F 16's.

What about Iraqi blk 52’s? Iraqis seem to want Rafales so maybe we can buy their blk 52.

Basically system sustainment and software updates for onboard systems and subsystems. Publications and Manuals being the most important part of it.

tbh I don't think so.

Let's say, for example, the U.S. likes our military leadership, okay, but does that necessarily translate into furthering our national interests? Washington could still get their preferred individuals, but it doesn't mean they have to improve our conventional warfighting capabilities.

No new capability is coming to Pakistan. It's in continuation of a similar sales made about 2 years or so ago, when F-16 sustainment program was signed.

So basically no benefit in the long run; this is the type of news I would toss in the trash bin.

Doesn’t the structural integrity program entail improvements on the body?

Yep, probably a STAR type program for non-MLU type birds in the lineup. But it does not change anything in PAF's capacity.
