Lol... Why dont you be brief.. "Pakistan cannot afford new ones", Pakistan does not have enough Research or Economic Platform to engage in Indigenous products. But you have more than enough Ego's and Gas to engage in calling thos who are trying to stand on their own "DUMB" .. lol

As he said, Pakistan does not need to buy new ones when used planes in good quality can be bought at fraction of a price. Buy your Rafales by may be next century and then come around to argue.

The Pakistan Air Force (PAF) has received into service 'a squadron' of Lockheed Martin F-16 fighter aircraft from the Royal Jordanian Air Force (RJAF), a senior PAF service official disclosed on 19 November.

Speaking under the Chatham House Rule at the IQPC Fighter Conference in London, the officer said that the F-16A/B fighters had recently arrived in Pakistan, and will be used to augment the PAF's existing F-16 fleet, which is heavily involved in counterinsurgency operations along the country's border area with Afghanistan.

"Recently a squadron of used F-16A/Bs have been procured from Jordan to take some of the load off our other F-16s, which are undertaking numerous tasks in the 'law enforcement' operations. The F-16s are supporting our ongoing law enforcement efforts on our western border. We are not using [attack] helicopters, but are using F-16s to stop the terrorists," he said.

The purchase of surplus RJAF F-16s was first mooted in February, with deliveries commencing in April. At that time, a PAF official confirmed to IHS Jane's that it was to receive 12 F-16A and 1 F-16B Block 15 aircraft to increase the size of its fast jet fleet. Although designated Block 15s, all of these aircraft have undergone mid-life upgrades, although details have not been released.

IHS Jane's understands that these former Jordanian aircraft have been assigned to 19 Squadron at PAF base Mushaf (Sarghoda).

When the deal for the surplus Jordanian aircraft was disclosed earlier in the year, the PAF stated that it had also approached at least two other countries for additional F-16s. The status of these discussions is unclear.

Prior to the Jordanian deal, the PAF fielded 12 F-16C and 6 F-16D Block 50/52 jets, and between 45 and 50 F-16A/B aircraft. These earlier aircraft have now all been upgraded to Block 52 standard by Turkish Aerospace Industries in Ankara.

Most of Pakistan's prowess in '65 is attributed to advanced US tech against Indians using soviets one. However, since Pakistan is reduced to using old American fighters plus reverse engineered Chinese planes, future air to air conflicts will be interesting, We have already noted after 26/11 Mumbai attacks, how two Su 30MKI infiltrated Pakistan's airspace and came out unharmed. Most of Pakistanis are foolishly chest thumping if they are extrapolating future conflicts on lines of '65.

for your info they had a Lock on Su 30, and were nicely escorted back to india, seems like the chest thumping is coming from you.
you sure chinese jets are reverse engineered?
JF-17, J-31,J-20,JH-7.
What are they?
can you tell me the name of the jets they reverse engineered?

FYI, Only 12% of drone victims in Pakistan identified as militants as reported by your own media. So your government has given USA the permission to kill your own citizens ?

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

F-16s are a great asset. PAF needs them. But buying new F-16s also doesn't make sense..since everyone is moving towards fifth generation.

So PAF found a perfect solution.

PAF is buying used F-16s so that they can have enough F-16s before fifth generation kicks in. (Most likely J-31 in PAF colors!)

They let use drone on their people..Its obvious they use those things second hand..About criticizing us,Yea we are doing failed projects & we are trying not to be failed.We are succeeded to that at some extent.We got our own nuclear missiles,own navigation system,own air defense,few of our own tanks & other weapons.Do on your own sometimes rather than making few kids pistols by US aids..
