Strike package of PAF F-16 - Fear Factor

[mkb95]

t was immediately pressed into service against joint Afghan/Soviet threat and in the process shot down no less than a dozen Soviet origin aircraft without a single loss to enemy action,

oh yes,those dangerous ground attack,helies and transport planes are really hard to shoot down.it needs a well trained pilots,most sophisticated avionics and radars and not just a cannon.

A notable incident took place in 2008, when some Indian aircraft in a threatening manner intruded into Pakistan airspace and were promptly intercepted by PAF F-16s and escorted out.

and what else could've happened ?

It enjoys an unparalleled combat record while most aircraft in the neighbourhood don't have a single combat kill to their name so any wonder even eight F-16s can cause so many ripples.

yeah,of course it does.most of these kills are by usa and other nato forces which have high level of training and technological capability against middle eastern countries with totally opposite case.

Look at the spine of the aircraft in a last pic...guess what kind of secret electronics installed...some say block 52+ EW suit is that much powerful can blind SU.30 from 100 Kms after detection...once blind AIM-120 can do the job easily...they know this feature and rona dhona is quite wajib for them

yes,those fuels tanks are really dangerous

Pakistani's are ever eager to glorify themselves. And we can always trust them to miss the forest for the woods.

India's unprecedented actions against an impending sale of F-16's is not about F-16's at all. Pakistani Airforce today stands as a joke in front of the IAF in terms of weapons capability, technology and numbers. 8 F-16's don't even change an iota of that.

Its about how today India has unprecedented global clout compared to its past - this is in effect a test for the Govt of India. Does India have enough global clout now to change the course of international action?

Its a yes/no answer. If no, then we would have a credible assessment of what India can not manage and where do we need to invest more - to attain more clout. If yes, then we would have a credible assessment of what we can manage.

Basically it is a self assessment test.

Yea talk about self praising and gloryfying your self....after your cricket score exercise with RAF last year even going on national TV to mouth off ....the jokes on you mate......and let me get this right.....the Indian idea of self assessment is to portray it'self as a bewildered drama queen..... makes sense.

Ignorance is blessing and you are the blessed one....look at the picture and the spine...

F-16C/D Block 50/52 Plus
This variant's main differences are the addition of support for conformal fuel tanks(CFTs), a dorsal spine compartment, the APG-68(V9) radar, an On-Board Oxygen Generation System (OBOGS), and a JHMCS helmet.[6]

The CFTs are mounted above the wing, on both sides of the fuselage and are easily removable. They provide an additional 440 US gallons or approximately 3,000 pounds (1,400 kg) of additional fuel, allowing increased range or time on station and frees up hardpoints for weapons instead of underwing fuel tanks.[7] All two-seat "Plus" aircraft have the enlarged avionics dorsal spine compartment which is located behind the cockpit and extends to the tail. It adds 30 cu ft (850 L) to the airframe for more avionics with only small increases in weight and drag.[8]

 

[litman]

it seems 8 threads have been started for 8 F-16s.

 

[datalibdaz]

F-16 D Block52+ are the ultimate package to penetrate enemy air Defense...Perfect for SEAD and DEAD Missions...Six of eight are D's...we definitely need a dozen more D's to suppress the Terrorists air defenses .... All hail WoT....

Indians are frustrated that a super power like USA don't share the same moronic and bigoted view of Pakistan like bharatis have for Pakistan. Despite years of efforts to isolate Pakistan, the end result is this. That is the real reason behind their frustration.

US doesn't have "moronic and bigoted view of Pakistan?" Do you really believe thiis?

Will you please like to elaborate ??? @waz @araz @Horus

You are right, Basically it was a Self Embarrassment Test. Which you guys pass successfully. So, congrat from me.

Keep it up.

Pakistan wants these 8 F-16 Block 52s to complete a squadron. Next order would either be for F-16Vs or Block 52s with AESA radar. Plus they would want MLUs for AESA for all their F-16s.

Not the one that bharatis have.

 

[BRAVO_]

guys Indians were aware of American decision they did it purposely so that other country who are trying to improve their military ties with Pakistan can think twice the reaction of india

 

[Windjammer]

That credit actually goes to your air force for shooting down the unarmed PN aircraft the size of an airliner, on the contrary, no Helis were ever shot down, however it was mostly SU-22s and MiGs.....but then you are the one oozing with knowledge.

and what else could've happened ?

Didn't you find out during the year long wait in 2002.

yeah,of course it does.most of these kills are by usa and other nato forces which have high level of training and technological capability against middle eastern countries with totally opposite case.

Wrong, after Israel it was PAF which scored the kills between 1987 and 1990.....long before the Gulf war/.

yes,those fuels tanks are really dangerous

So you think the spine contains a fuel tank. indeed.

really
i think you forgot the time greece'miraje shot down turkish f-16 or did your mind conveniently blocked that out.

Well if your brain cells aren't functioning then don't expect me to spoon feed you, pause, take some cold water...pause then read what i wrote again....

You are so right. I have no doubt US informed India of this decision. But India went through the motions of protesting, not for Pakistan's ears, but to other countries, especially France and Russia.

The recent announcement of of Eight more F-16s for the PAF has been cause of much anxiety and depression in the neighbourhood. Albeit Pakistan has been operating the Fighting Falcon for over Thirty years with newer and more capable models being acquired within the last decade, however, the reaction by India to the recent acquisition has been unprecedented. This is all the more scandalous since India currently is one of the top armament purchasing country boasting of fourth largest air force in the world.
But it's also possible that India does have real concerns as the F-16s continue to rattle nerves in New Delhi.
According to Indian writer Pushpinder Singh, the arrival of F-16s in the Sub-continent caused such alarm bells that India in response ended up purchasing no less than 220 assorted fighter jets from Russia and France, hence the latest reaction by India thus shouldn't come as a surprise.
The F-16, the most widely used and combat proven aircraft of recent times has also proved it's tremendous capabilities within the PAF. Soon after bit's arrival in Pakistan in the mid-80s, it was immediately pressed into service against joint Afghan/Soviet threat and in the process shot down no less than a dozen Soviet origin aircraft without a single loss to enemy action, since PAF never disclosed about those aircraft that fell on the other side of the border, so the actual number of victims, which is much higher remains classified.
A PAF F-16 also made history by achieving first night interception and shooting down of an IAF spy drone of Israeli origin in 2002. In 2005, Pratt & Whitney presented a plaque to the PAF in recognition of flying the F-16 for over 100,000 accident free flight hours.

HUD capture of an Afghan SU-22 kill in 1987

A notable incident took place in 2008, when some Indian aircraft in a threatening manner intruded into Pakistan airspace and were promptly intercepted by PAF F-16s and escorted out.
More recently, PAF F-16s have been busy in carrying out strikes against the Taliban near Afghan border with great success. Even during exercises with friendly air forces, the PAF have scored repeated victories against such potent systems as the Euro fighter Typhoons and F-15 Eagles. All in all, since it's induction in PAF, the F-16s have remained geared into action in one form or another, always coming out on the top. It enjoys an unparalleled combat record while most aircraft in the neighbourhood don't have a single combat kill to their name so any wonder even eight F-16s can cause so many ripples.

whats wrong with the sidewinder where are it's fins.or are they training rounds.
