US Approves Possible Sale Of F-16 Equipment To Pakistan: Pentagon

[MultaniGuy]

Pakistan isn't getting anymore F16s. This package is purely to maintain the ones the PAF currently operate. Its best to make the most out of said jets considering how after so long, they still pose a very big threat to the IAF.

Fvck that!

Just take one of the F-16s apart, study it with China and make our own kind with the JF-17s models, and J-10Cs.

Why do that when the jf17 and j10c outclasses the current F16s PAF have in service?

Then fvck F-16s.

Just build more JF-17s and J-10Cs.

Good development. Balance in military ties is very important.

Naysayers and their rantings aside about slavery and all the other nonsense, this F-16 sustenance program will lead to more operational capabilities enhancements to the fleet in the future.

Agreed. Truly neutral means taking benefits from BOTH SIDES. No camps means neither EAST neither WEST.
We will work with anyone who will help us further our interests. In this case this furthers our interests cuz F-16’s are still sufficient to take on majority of Indian Air Force and we can’t even replace mirages but some people dreaming about replacing F-16 rn when Indians still flying majority inferior fighter jets.

American technology may be much better than Chinese technology, but atleast Chinese equipment does not come with conditions.

I completely reject this shitty American offer of F-16s.

Ever since the Afghan Taliban are victorious in Afghanistan,

I say lets buy more Chinese J-10Cs

Hi,

If you take control of the situation and do not beg the americans to make you president or prime minister---then there are no conditions---.

Please do not blame the americans for all your sins---.

With the induction of J10's---the american conditions will vanish in thin air.

You kids have no clue---how badly the american psyche is hurt at Paf getting the J10C's and showing it off with pride---.

They desperately want to get back in Paf's good books.

My guess it's support of structural upgrade of f16a/b ..some more to be acquired used

 

[nangyale]

This or any other addition means nothing when we have sell outs sitting at the top.

The only real requirement of Bajwa's Army is more vigos to intimidate and suppress Pakistanis.

 

[SecularNationalist]

Russian equipment itself cannot match the quality of the US equipment.

It depends which specific area we are talking about. In some areas Russians are even better than the US.

 

[Irfan Baloch]

Hi,

Getting more F16's would be a re-affirmation of the relationship after the separation---which may not be likely---but in the long term---between the US & pakistan---divorce would be the final word.

The US has lied to pakistan and manipulated it for the longest---but then the J-10 procurement has shook up the US.

At the end of the day---US will never admit to its mistakes and would force play pakistan to accept that it has faultered.

For Pakistan to get out of this trap---it needs to accept Israel and recognize it before the Taliban do..

Pakistan has to chose between the 2---either accept the reality of Israel---or stand up to USA---. It cannot do both---. US will not let that happen---. Pak military will not let that happen.

whenever I read the rants of my fellow Pakistani posters I am reminded of that phrase that rage of a frail ends in shame.
that aside I want to curse the lady luck Pakistan, whenever PAF approached USA for planes a natural disaster strikes. it was earthquake before and now its floods. and PAF might postpone or cancel this deal because of the "backlash" by opinion makers that PAF is acquiring weapons when people are drowning and starving.

Wrong! Slavery comes from the people and not a bunch of jets. People of south asia are genetically slave minded and unless some kind of surgery is done on them they are unlikely to change.

Wrong! Its not about slavery. Poeple who have travelled abroad know the goraas aukaat. People who havent been anywhere are close minded and thus consider themselves inferior bcz they havent seen anything else other then Hollywood crap.

 

[Metal 0-1]

Chinese equipment does not come with condition

That's what you know

How can you prove that US weapons are superior to Chinese weapons?

How about you prove American shills wrong

 

[MultaniGuy]

That's what you know


How about you prove American shills wrong

Have you been living under a rock?

China has done Transfer of Technology on the military technologies with us.

What of Singlian comment that JF-17 and J-10C do not factor into Indian thinking, and only F-16 does?

US Approves Possible Sale Of F-16 Equipment To Pakistan: Pentagon​

The US State Department has approved the potential sale of F-16 aircraft sustainment and related equipment to Pakistan in a deal valued at up to $450 million, the Pentagon said on Wednesday.

The principal contractor will be Lockheed Martin Corp(LMT.N), the Pentagon said.

The State Department has made a determination approving a possible Foreign Military Sale to the Government of Pakistan of F-16 Case for Sustainment and related equipment for an estimated cost of $450 million. The Defense Security Cooperation Agency delivered the required certification notifying Congress of this possible sale today.

The Government of Pakistan has requested to consolidate prior F-16 sustainment and support cases to support the Pakistan Air Force F-16 fleet by reducing duplicate case activities and adding additional continued support elements. Included are U.S. Government and contractor engineering, technical, and logistics services for follow-on support of Pakistan’s F-16 fleet to include:

— Participation in F-16 Aircraft Structural Integrity Program
— Electronic Combat International Security Assistance Program
— International Engine Management Program
— Engine Component Improvement Program, and other technical coordination groups
— Aircraft and engine hardware and software modifications and support
— Aircraft and engine spare repair/return parts
— Accessories and support equipment
— Classified and unclassified software and software support
— Publications, manuals, and technical documentation
— Precision measurement, calibration, lab equipment, and technical support services
— Studies and surveys
— Other related elements of aircraft maintenance and program support.

The proposed sale does not include any new capabilities, weapons, or munitions.
The estimated total cost is $450 million.

This proposed sale will support the foreign policy and national security objectives of the United States by allowing Pakistan to retain interoperability with U.S. and partner forces in ongoing counterterrorism efforts and in preparation for future contingency operations.
The proposed sale will continue the sustainment of Pakistan’s F-16 fleet, which greatly improves Pakistan’s ability to support counterterrorism operations through its robust air-to-ground capability. Pakistan will have no difficulty absorbing these articles and services into its armed forces.

The proposed sale of this equipment and support will not alter the basic military balance in the region.

The principal contractor will be Lockheed Martin Corporation, Fort Worth, TX. There are no known offsets proposed in conjunction with this sale.

Implementation of this proposed sale will not require the assignment of any additional U.S. Government or contractor representatives to Pakistan.

There will be no adverse impact on U.S. defense readiness as a result of this proposed sale.
This notice of a potential sale is required by law. The description and dollar value is for the highest estimated quantity and dollar value based on initial requirements. Actual dollar value will be lower depending on final requirements, budget authority, and signed sales agreement(s), if and when concluded.

Hi,

he has always been a poor analyst---.

The indian military takes the JF17 and J10C's more seriously than the F16's knowing that these two aircraft have as good or more potent weapons and EW pkg than the F16's---and knowing the Paf---the indians know that the Paf will not settle for anything less capable than the F16's.

Whomsoever takes the indians as fools makes a fool of himself. Do not go by the claims that have been created by the indian media and indian posters regarding the JF17's and J10C's. The indian military knows the capabilitiy of these aircraft very well.

It is just playing on the emotions of the pakistani posters who have no understanding of the abilities of their aircrafts.
