On topic, I will forgive BAF if they order 3 squadrons of EFTs/F-16s immediately.

Impossible....

Consider yourself lucky if we have 4 squadrons by 2030.

I agree. Me forgiving BAF is a tall order, those who follow me on BAF threads of PDF can attest.

They wanted $700+ million for this year's down payment. Doesn't look like they got it.

maybe money will be allocated in the acquisition budget which i don't think is made public like defence budget.

let a man dream !


Pakistan operates some Block52 sims but dont know about USAF . Well i thought BAF would go for the cost-effective option Block 52 or maybe even Block 60.
I want Block 72 but its got very sensitive tech and the US may not want to ''water down'' some of the conditions in ACSA and GSMOIA plus its very expensive.

if all else fails , sign the GSMOIA and Get the gripen NG. It shares the same weapons package as EFT. Plus we don't have to sign ACSA.

Egypt has operated F-16 and American weaponry for decades and has only recently signed ACSA

United States and Egypt Sign Military Logistics Cross Servicing Memorandum of Understanding

EDIT: Lockheed martin does not manufacture Block 52 anymore so we cant get it.

Block 70 is standard new f16 now. If you want custom stuff you gotta pay up but block 70 is the new base

So European fighter most probably? Man at this point who knows. They’ve been buying trainers for more than a decade

I was really hoping BAF would buy a tandem seat trainer like Hürkuş-C, KT-1 or DART 450.

Same here. Don’t know what they’re thinking. Maybe the tandem seat pt6 have been found to be inefficient at training?

Well, chief explained why they did it PM strict instruction is a clear indication that we are trying to be self sufficient in all three sectors, i told this before multiple times. We are trying to manufacture/assemble few necessary things locally.

Doesn't the trainer choice make sense since BAF has chosen EU fighter Typhoon. Perhaps there are some collaboration between UK and Germany that will benefit your defence industry.

Yes, of course. If we are gonna operate a western fighter then we should operate a western trainer too. Even if we are disappointed with the purchase, gotta admit that this is best trainer we got so far. @Micheal Corleone i guess that answer your question about PT-6.

Surprisingly BAF removed all three videos of former chief's farewell speeches from FB and youtube. That's why i can't verify some points mentioned here.
