Pakistan F-16 Discussions 2

[rockstarIN]

MKI is a long range air craft so it doesn't seem sensible of keeping them in sri nagar so close to the border.there will be little reaction time b/w the detection of PAF jets and in launching the MKI.the terrain tin that area is hilly and it will be even more difficult for the radars to pick up low flying enemy air crafts.

|There would be no big 'surprises' in air combat over South Asia provided the aerostat radars, AWACS apart from land based systems and the lack of 5th gen fighters.

Thx brother but i meant does anyone know the wepons the PAF has for its vipers ?

Wow Amazing

There is a point that some forget if they see all the weapons. Not all weapons are used or released. If you know that Egyptian F16 have never received BVR (and many other goodies) then you might see the reality of the picture.

United States, Canada, South Korea, Turkey, Japan, Iran,Israel, Italy, United Kingdom, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Poland, Thailand


According to global security organization there is a confirmation that we had Aim-7 till 2002 in our inventory,some sources believe that PAF had ~500 Aim-7 sparrows in their inventory,but after 2002 no-one knows the status of these missiles whether they are retired or not but surely are replaced by Aim-120 now


In a book named "THE PHYSICIE OF PAKISTAN AIR FORCE " written by indian authors named Ravi Rakhye and Pushpinder Singh (forgive me for the spellings of authorsname,if they are wrong) it is stated that PAF acquired 500 Aim-7F sparrow missiles in 1989

Operational Status Initial development of the AIM-7A Sparrow started in 1946, and the first versions entered service in 1956. AIM-7E entered service in 1962 and was widely used as a standard for other variants such as Sky Flash (UK), Aspide (Italy). AIM-7F entered service in 1975. The AIM-7M entered service in 1982 and production continued until 1990. AIM-9P entered service in 1992, and is in production. AIM-9R, with a dual-mode seeker, entered development in 1988 and is expected to enter service in 1997. Earlier AIM-7E versions saw active service in Vietnam and Sparrow missiles have been used in the Middle East over many years, with 25 Iraqi aircraft being shot down by the USAF and USN using AIM-7 Sparrow missiles in the 1991 Gulf War. Exports have been made to many countries including Australia, Bahrain, Canada, Egypt, Greece, Iran, Israel, Italy, Japan, South Korea, Kuwait, Portugal, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Spain, Taiwan, Turkey and the UK. AIM-7E/F/M have been built under licence in Japan. With the USAF's decision to clear F-16A/B and F-16C/D aircraft to carry the beyond-visual-range AIM-7 Sparrow missiles, several countries are seeking US approval to fit Sparrow to modified F-16s, including Bahrain, Egypt, Indonesia, Pakistan, Singapore and Venezuela.

Can someone tellme the exact number of F-16s currently?

According to my calculations, 106 F-16s should be in the bank with 24 of them as Block 50/52.
Just to confirm.

We never got them - Don't trust the Indian Sources - PAF F16s were fitted with non BVR Missiles (AIM9) until we got the AIM120.
