Conclusion after all, permission of Americans is must while buying used Jordanian F-16s and upgrade the current fleet.

 

[hacker J]

turkey can upgrade jets on their own to block 50/52 standards ?? where will they get all the equipments sensors, radars electronic suit software upgrade and if they buy equipments from american firms are you serious without U S permission they can do that ??

if they can with their own technology is it true to compair it with american block 50/52 ??
anyways i still feel ukrain can do it better in terms of indiginious technology but i doubt the souce that paf has odered upgrades without telling or floating tendor

Some engine parts, some optics, some components for what they call HUDs or something You know, the usual stuff. PAF na bhe bahti ganga mein haat dhoo lea..

Musharraf did wonders specially when it was about foreign relations and Image of Pakistan.

Only Mushi Good thing was he envisioned Chinese AWACs as well as J10 at that time ,So PAF needs some time just pushing and Chinese system as per my cousin who operates in one of those is quite potent system intially there were some bugs but all things are perfected to our own requirement .

And the air force hated him for stepping in their turf. But then the potency of the chinese awacs shut the mouths of the paf.
