Pakistan F-16 Discussions 2

[SQ8]

Are those FLIRs beneath the F-16's?

If so, any idea which ones?

Its the french Carrapace RWR system installed by the Belgian air force on their F-16's.
Its a fairly good and accurate system but is overkill without weaponry to be able to use its abilities.
Third, it requires release of F-16 source codes for integration.

Thanks for the info. @Oscar

I searched google, and a def.pk link came

PAF F-16's also have Carrapace system as I gather from that link.

We should learn from experience, i dont trust F16's at all, may be during war they dont work, strings, software expiry like stinger missiles, sanction
After great success of JF 17 project, we should simultaneously should start another project for advance gen. Heavy fighter with twin engine so we can have no's and quality to face any enemy

Who knows PAF might have a classic aircraft squadron then

People in the Airforce know better than us what they are doing

Sir,

No---they don't---they are as clueless as the neighbour's blind and mute daughter---.

No, Apparently the keyboard warriors know better than the air force.

We should also ask U.S.A for f16 block 60 models. We should start Serious negotiation with them. I think numbers should be around 25-30. I am not in favor of J10, this is my opinion, and i'll prefer Jf17 in many numbers with many F16s.

Evidence to the severity of that statement??? please?

I do agree that many clueless decisions(or rather willful negligence) have been made.. but not all.
So please.. provide evidence to your harsh claim.

Aren't we suppose to get some F-16's, in December of 2012. It was wildly speculated and debated on the model and everything.
Does any one have any update or ETA on them?
