Pakistan receives 'a squadron' of surplus Jordanian F-16s

[Selous]

What about Jordan ? How do they have surplus aircraft ? Don't they need as many planes as they can get with Israel and ISIS on their doorstep ?

My dreams.......nope.....Modi's nightmare most probably.

Ab isme Modi kaha se aa gaya? It seems some of my Pakistani friends see Modi in their dreams too.

A/B is used for unmanned drone target practice.

C/D is nearing that stage.

 

[trident2010]

Because Pakistan is smart and knows how to manage limited resources unlike some other unsophisticated, dumb nations who spend billions on failed projects etc.

Beggars can't be choosers !! Get on with it.

F16s from US will only help Pak lose war against India ‘a little slower’: US official

 

[Wolfhound]

this has been confirmed by a serving Flt LT, we have officially gotten the 12 F-16A and 1 F-16B Block 15 aircraft from the RJAF

 

[Rahil khan]

Still not clear, are these additional aircrafts we received or is that same old news from the start of this year... ???

We do thank your Military General staff for their stupidity of not keeping all the arms in the loop for that operation. Else the casualties would have certainly been higher on Indian side. But in a war, capitalizing on your enemy's foolishness is a good strategy.

But you misread my post. My comment was in response to your think Tank's post and the reference to lack of BVR in the older blocks of F 16 and hence about Pakistan's reluctance to field them against India (since there are other better planes in PAF)

But when respected folks like @Irfan Baloch can react so negatively then you certainly do not deserve any blame for overreaction.
