Pakistan should get only latest F16v

[thepakistani]

Pakistan should accept only latest F16 v with AESA rader. Other wise su35 or J10C are way better, without any strings and brilliant future prospects.

 

[thepakistani]

Possibly usa is feeling out of Russian Chinese Pakistani eco/defence corridor and trying some way inn.

 

[Maarkhoor]

Pakistan will get same Bloack 52+ plus that we already have with an option to get 10 more when the funds available.

Why shouldn't they just ask for f 22 or f35 or f16z
Better if they get block50/52

 

[thepakistani]

If our leaders take firm stance will get better options. International situation is favourable.

i don't think so IAF officials not fools only they have to provide flying data and retricted to move China.

 

[thepakistani]

Our navy needs long endurance heavy jets. Probably sukhoi su35 is best suited. Future navy capabilities are becoming incredibly important.

 

[Hurter]

Block 60 for one squadron atleast.

Bhai yeh sab free mien hai samjha karo jo b mill jaye anay do.

 

[Muhammad Omar]

I think the idea is to get 18 pending Block 52.... so that we have 36 and after that look for another platform...

100 F-16
150 JF-17
J-10/su35
and later j-31 or TAI TFX

Bhai, yeh lollipop hai.. Kitna len? Humhen f16s k elawa aj tak kuch nai dia defence deal mai.. wo bhi mar mar k. We need very good Air Defence system, Frigates, Destroyers, and Stealth Jets... Aur yeh detay hua US ki geeli ho jati hai.

 

[thepakistani]

Now all new jet procurements are for at least 4.5 gen in most countries. We should also go for newer platform with latest anti warfare electronic, super cruise and aesa radar. PAF should be at least at par with top airforces. We have to do something to cover naval requirements.
Su35 and J10C have all these abilities. As F35 is becoming a failed jet, canada has cancelled its order for F35. Even usa itself is reducing total number. And the fruit is F16V and stealth F15 version developments. PAF should ask for F16V.

 

[thepakistani]

But if it is a free lollipop, get it and look for superiority fighter.

F-16V Takes Flight

Lockheed Martin - 10/23/2015

FORT WORTH, Texas, Oct. 21, 2015 – Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT) successfully completed the maiden flight of the F-16V, the latest and most advanced F-16 on the market today. The October 16 flight marks the first time an F-16 has flown with Northrop Grumman’s advanced APG-83 Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) Scalable Agile Beam Radar (SABR), which will deliver a quantum leap in capability for the venerable F-16.

The F-16V “Viper” advanced avionics configuration also includes a new cockpit Center Pedestal Display, a modernized mission computer, a high-capacity Ethernet data bus, and several other missions systems enhancements that collectively add significant combat capabilities to address the dynamic threat environments emerging in the coming decades.

“This flight marks a historic milestone in the evolution of the F-16,” said Rod McLean, vice president and general manager of Lockheed Martin’s F-16/F-22 Integrated Fighter Group. “The new F-16V configuration includes numerous enhancements designed to keep the F-16 at the forefront of international security, strengthening its position as the world’s foremost combat-proven 4th Generation fighter aircraft.”

The F-16V, an option for both new production F-16s and F-16 upgrades, is the next generation configuration that leverages a common worldwide sustainment infrastructure and provides significant capability improvements to the world’s most affordable, combat-proven multi-role fighter.

Northrop Grumman’s APG-83 SABR AESA fire control radar provides 5th Generation air-to-air and air-to-ground radar capability. Northrop Grumman also provides AESA radars for the F-22 Raptor and F-35 Lightning II.

With more than 4,550 F-16s delivered to date, the F-16V is a natural step in the evolution of the world’s most successful 4th Generation fighter.
