Pakistan rumored to be interested in additional RJAF F-16s

[arslank03]

Not even close. Pakistan got the J-10C for 60 million USD.

according to who.

 

[Solidify]

Banana republic + joke of century on Pakistan + illiterate men running country = simple reverse logic

 

[arslank03]

Then why buy J-10Cs in the first place, if USA was being so generous with F-16s.

im not sure if youre being purposefully dense, but the F-16s will not replace J-10s, but will rather SUPPORT our current fleet of F-16s as it ages, alongside that, it will also enable retirement of more mirages and f-7s quicker.

Was expecting that, PA's A$$ has a price and now we know it.

In recent days multiple sources are suggesting the US has no issues with Pakistan purchasing used F16s from Jordan or other friendly countries.

20-30 years, they were recently MLUed and Structurally upgraded, a VERY good deal if we can get them, im seriously guessing theyd be around the $20m each mark

money that could have been used to improve JF-17?

money that could have been used to improve JF-17?

Different budgets different roles, JF-17 Block 4 is already on the cards, block 3 is already receiving new gear, these F-16s will support our current fleet and also bolster fleet strength, there is no real downside to this buy, we will likely get a nice LoC as the article mentions the key focus is "low cost", how can we get American gear as cheap as possible. No real downside, its like the minehunter buy, yes, money could be used elsewhere, but put it this way, this is a guaranteed outcome, putting money elsewhere is not oh and also JF-17 has key deficiences tht cant be fixed with money anyway that the f-16 doesnt have

Last Time if I remember correctly 13 F-16 PAF bought from Jordan replaced a squadron of F-7 insouth, which was a nice move, same will happen again IF the news is true.

My only concern is that either these birds will have BVR capabilities or not secondly we have limited stock of AIM-120C5 which is not going to increase with the increase of F-16 fleet

They are all AMRAAM capable - and the stock of 498 AIM-120s isn’t going to be depleted any faster as it was ordered to sustain a total of 92 F-16s originally.

Why not get APCs for the cannon fodder in the army?

 

[salarsikander]

beggars cant be chosers, Chowkidars of DHA can sell the entire country for used US Stuff,

USA would love to sell Pakistan F-35s, if only it had any money to buy them.
