Saudia is getting this with F-15S. I don't know why they denied it to Pakistan. May be due to India and China factor. I remember back in 2007 when placing restrictions on F-16 surfaced,American senators specifically objected on DRFM and blocked it's sell to PAF
And for some odd rather strange enough reason, PAF still decided to go ahead with the purchase of those F-16s which looks shinny enough for the camera.
and the irony to all of this is that even if we do manage to get something similar, we will not be able to install it on our F-16s.
Mother of Irony is. Indian Rafael will come with DFRM as it is embedded in SPECTRA EW technology... Has PAF devised a strategy to counter this technology so that our workhouse JF-17 does not fall prey to DRFM? i doubt it.

It is too late for Pakistan to by the 12 Portuguese Air Force F16AM/BM that are for sale. The Romanians and Bulgarians are negotiating, last week the Romanian MOD announced that they would by them for 600 Million Dollars. I remember you that the development of the MLU program is now being headed by the Portuguese with the M6.1 Tape. There was an approach by the Pakistan Government asking for information, but the Romanians send a team to Portugal for inspection and concluded that the aircraft were in very good shape. These were the best aircraft the Portuguese Technicians had found in AMARC.
They are already upgraded to the M5.2 Tape.
I remember that you could by the Venezuelan F16s and upgrade them here to the M6.1 standard here in Portugal.
M6.1 means:
 Improved IFF system (Mode 5 waveform with better distinction between friendly and enemy aircraft)
 Introduction of AIM-120D missile (two-way datalink, improved navigation and High-Angle Off-Boresight capabilities, a doubled range)
 Introduction of more advanced A/G weapons (GBU-39 SDB, GBU-54 LJDAM)
 Integration of improved Link-16 functions with net-centric capability
 Integration of a new Universal Armament Interface to standardize communication between the aircraft and the weapons, illuminating the need for new OPF tapes with every new weapon system
The Netherlands also have F16 for sale, they are selling them cheaper but with more airframe hours and less lifetime.
Greetings from Portugal
