Pakistan F-16 Discussions 2

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

I think the PAF will prefer adding few more years of life on old F-16s over acquiring new capabilities, so this notification is a welcome news for the PAF.

There were rumours that uncle sam has allowed pakistan to procure used c130s and f16 earlier this yr when IK left.. So we are seeing that quietly but surely materialize

I bet we will get some f16 a/b with falcon kits
500m isnt just for 13 jordanian aircarfts or already MLUed f16s

No new system deal has been signed, the C-130 upgrade deal was completed during PTI tenure and the Belgium buy was also looked at, verified and cleared during PTI tenure. The notification is fairly clear on what it is meant for.

The Viper "curse" that has been successful over and over, especially at keeping the eastern neighbour's mediocre air force and naval air arm at bay.

Qibla, going by that rational

Hi,

IK should have heard his military leadership to what they were saying. Being Pakistan---you can't have a 3 front war.

IK should have talked less and listened more.

Russia was a losing preposition from the gitgo.

He should have at least left the option of Israel open. Turkey has recognized israel---so there is nothing left for Pakistan to do.

Even Taliban want to recognize it.
