Why US Refuses to Send F-16 Trainers to Turkey, Blocks Pakistan's Help

[MastanKhan]

Then give Turkish citizenship to Pak pilots!!!! And, send Turkish young trainees to Pak!!!!

Hi,

My mother would be proud of you for coming up with that solution:::---

I have one question Pakistan already has some what knowledge as well as experience wit terrain mapping thru cruise missile but why US is concern there must be some thing more to it

Similar pattern to UAE Armed Forces. Many Pakistanis serving in their Forces.

With latest turmoil between US and Turkey, i wont be surprised if things go sideways and trainers do go over.

It all depends on how well Erdogan is able to maintain his grip on the TuAF and forge closer relationship with alternative suppliers

They have PAF cadets learning to fly the Hurkus for primary and T-38s for basic jet training. Not sure if there are Turkish cadets at PAF Academy. If PAF is being refused by USA then Turkey should turn to other options such as either sending the pilots to Tucson with the 162nd Air National Guard or ask South Korea or one of the NATO countries operating F-16s to send in IPs.

Who knows the "significant halves" of the PAF Deli-kanli (Dare devil) folks stationed in Turkey might be somewhere there too!!!! So, they can always settle there and serve in TuAF!!!!! I think Pak mothers won't mind enjoying Baklava and Borek....

" Commenting on this decision, Erdogan Karakus suggested that the US might want to prevent Pakistani pilots from getting access to the digital terrain-mapping systems which are installed on the modernized F-16 jets possessed by Turkey"

dont get it, when Pakistani Pilot dont even have access to those things till now why they are called to train Turkey Pilots on the first place?

8 f 16 doesnot matter but 76 matter

That's just an extension to the major part of the training for which the PAF instructors were required.

Eventually more will come as long as paf can pay for them especially used one for spares and may be another sqn down the road as paf chief said just a few Ac add capability at very economical price/cost eventually f-16 will be like mirages with pac able to now rebuilt engines plus alternate mission eqpt for it
