They saved some aside for India because they knew 3 years ago that you won't buy the Rafale,so they got prepared.

Seriously...F16 was designed in late 60's. Today is 2015. With US Air force stop ordering F16, the future of F16 is zero. Now you buy a new fighter assuming that it will serve you for next 30 years. So would you use 1960 fighter in 2030 or 2040's wars

 

[mr rocket science]

because we have this very friendly neighbor who has some issues from 1947
so we have to keep them check

@Rockstar

Not at all. The fact that US as stopped ordering the fighter and the last sale happened back in 2010 tells something. The future of F16 is dead.

F-16 lol.... They should buy something like Aster Air defence system,eurofighter or rafale rather than the obsolete f-16. But the best investment would be buying off the shelf nukes from Pakistan or Israel.

He is right in some ways as the fighter was designed in the 1960s and 1970s.

The issue with buying F-16 now is the imminent obselesence of the airframe. This combined with the single engine does not bode well for the fighter for more than the next 10 years.

I don't see why a fighter designed in the 60 will be obsolete now. It was designed in the 60s, that does not mean they are made in the 60s.

What if I say tomorrow the US is going to sell all the moth ball stuff, that is older AC-130 that designed during Vietnam war, B-52 Stratofortress, F-14 Tomcat, F-15C fighter to pay off the national debt. You would think there will be load of country that put up their hand

It was designed in the 60s only means they are designed in the 60s, that we have that level of technology then which today, not too many country can counter in 2015. That only mean the world is behind the US in fighter development, not the US tech become obsolete.

Haha, so when you will sell all of your B-52, A-10, F-16 and F-15C from AMAARG? maybe we can put them into a good use

How about some F=4 and F-14?

How about some Sea Knight Helicopter??

perhaps some F-18C

Maybe some Tomcats??

or a B-1 if you can afford it??

Some B-52 too??00

or you fancy some transport fleet??

Quick question, aren't the Flankers you fly from the same era? Aren't you worried about having 40 year old soviet technology as the backbone of your airforce?
