Blk52 are Amraam capable?
Egypt may not have been cleared for AMRAAMs
Not a problem, can be solved easily by OEM.

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...

The United States was said to have agreed to an Israeli request to restrict the capability and use of advanced air-to-air missiles to Jordan and ban their sale to the rest of the Arab world.

Egypt bought MICA equipped Mirage 2000 just because of that reason . It’s pathetic .

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.
