Pakistan F-16 Discussions 2

Can we assume from this potential sale that Uncle Sam has apparently provided us NOC to have used vipers from friends? Just an assumptious question ? Any senior member ?

Considering how much india is crying over this alone, I don’t think we’re getting any used vipers anytime soon.

Just a standard upkeep contract which people are reading too much into.

With the coming of the J10s PAF SEEMS no linger interested in new Vipers. Second hand vipers with upgrades might still be an option but for the US it is of little benefit to help PAF upgrade its fleet knowing fully well the aim will always be IAF. In the coming years we will see more J10s and JFTs fulfilling PAF's needs. The F16 chapter for now is closed.

The F-16s will remain a mainstay of PAF's defensive stance for years to come, still, as was always the intention.

Hi,

It is just like breaking up from your girlfriend---. The urgency to go back at the first opportunity is very very strong.

But as time passes---other venues open up and you never look back.

Offer PAF blk 70 or F 35 if they come from the csf funds owed by the u.s to Pak, then n only then PAF is interested other then that PAF ain't interested.

What incentive is there for the US to offer Block 70? American goals have changed, and India is the new Pakistan, and they know they can get much more from Pakistan without providing anything in return. That's the problem when you sell yourself short; you do not command a high price.

Offer PAF blk 70 or F 35 if they come from the csf funds owed by the u.s to Pak, then n only then PAF is interested other then that PAF ain't interested.

It's not about PAF being interested, but does it align with American strategic interest? The answer is no.

Now, you might get something here and there but of no significance to tilt the balance or make it a game changer. As @araz pointed out, the chapter is closed, and you're not getting any F-35s.

"Marshalling a Falcon" Marshalling an F-16 involves a lot of distracting noise and requires full attention. Aircraft marshalling is visual signalling between ground personnel and pilots on flight line or Taxi-Way.
