Pakistan Gets F16 -Blk70/72

[AliYusuf]

For now, from what I know, it is all covered by CSF.

@Khafee Sahib, This is truly good news. Thank you for sharing.

I think nobody is fooled by the bravado being shown by the village idiot. Their stiff arm tactics with the minorities in the whole of India and in the Kashmir valley have exposed them as a retrogressive fascist force. They are fast becoming a more difficult proposition to be bolstered up as an ally for the western media.

In technical terms, Standard Blk 70/72 is only exceeded by, the upgraded Blk60's, with their liquid cooled radars, built in IRST etc.

Well we can live with that, cant we ??

Nonetheless the upgraded Blk60 / F21 is what you said, better than the Blk 70/72.

Can you or any other member elaborate or point in the correct direction about the bold ? Like apart from;

1. liquid cooled radars'
2. built in IRST

what is in that etc ?

1. is that related to just some kind of data fusion brought from JSF-35 or something else?
2. more hard points?
3. increased MTOW?
4. or just better EW-Suite / Radar ?

is that all or did i miss something ?

Like was there anything else offered in F-21 to India apart from above that has been mentioned?

Alright brothers some update on the Vipers. For now this is what is being discussed:
36 new
20 EDA
10 existing PAF ones to be upgraded to Blk72.

Assalamualikum Sir. I have a proposal. Why not get 36 F16 Block 72s and upgrade all 75 existing fleet to V Standard. Don't you think it would be a lot better?

Not my decision, but you feel free to discuss it with PAF, lets us know what CAS says

Ok jokes aside, things are a bit fluid right now, this number of 66 might change. So lets hold our horses. In the mean time, pls tell us why no EDA?

General Electric has won $707.3 million to supply F110 engines to power F-16 fighter jets of Slovakia, Bulgaria, and Taiwan.

The contract includes F110-GE-129 engine production, provision of installs and spares and modernized engine management system computers, the Pentagon said in a statement Tuesday.

For Qatar, the engines will power the twin-engined Boeing F-15QT.

“These actions involve Foreign Military Sales to Slovakia, Bulgaria, Taiwan and Qatar,” the statement read.

Work is expected to be completed by December 31, 2026.

New built Vipers will have Haveglass. As to your question why? Young man, YOU have been on Intl forums long enough to know quite a lot about Intl Relations. So YOU tell me why?

Sir you can answer it much better them me, as mashallah you enough experience and links to better judge it
In my point of view USA will not in favour of giving that semi sealth coating to pakistan specially, can give to other may be. Usa still in race of intail jet deal candidate with rename of f21 which also have aame coating.
Secondly india is still candidate for other equipment, as i read some forum india came third number of defense procurement.
For evidance when india select rafale instead of usa option to accommodate thay for for apache and chinook instead of much cheaper option of Mi 28 and Mi 26 for which russia was bagging them
