[Zeeman]

Their planes are not able to fire AMRAAM .... no BVRs on their F16s... basically garbage unless upgraded

Blk52 are Amraam capable?
Egypt may not have been cleared for AMRAAMs

Not a problem, can be solved easily by OEM.

Simple s/w upgrade, no big deal!

Wait, What ? !!!

I thought this was the case with F-16IQs only...

That is seriously bad behavior of US... What good is a bird that lacks BVR capabilities in the age of BVR...

Remember i once told you how i teased my friend whose marriage was to be in a day but due to lockdown marriage halls were closed and still he is sitting at home with red “constipated” face

I think EAF F-16s do relate to it

If that is the case, bad planning on EAF part. They have had those birds since 2013.

Question is that, do this news of 20 block 52 for Pakistan from Egypt has base in actual

If yes then all limitations can be resolved. If no that make for sense that no advantage of discussing for us

@Khafee do you think these are the birds we should have been angling to get - had some plan been laid in place a decade or so ago? Can things change?

With Uncle Sam's blessing...that's 220 F16s that Pak can buy and upgrade to the latest standard(if possible) which will fire AMRAAMs

Egypt can use that money to buy other goodies from Russians or French or whoever...
...cup is half full my friend

Oh wait nvm...there's no cup...
Man I hate it that Pak is broke...really puts a dampener on all my khyali pulaos. If there was money available and Pak was paying...Trump would surely allow it to happen.
