SPEARS OF VICTORY 2025
"U.S. Air Force Airman 1st Class Garrett Holloway 378th Expeditionary Maintenance Squadron crew chief, and Capt. “Donkey” Conger, 480th Expeditionary Fighter Squadron F-16 pilot, perform a function check on an F-16 Fighting Falcon before the start of a training mission during Exercise Spears of Victory, at King Abdulaziz Air Base, Saudi Arabia, Jan. 27, 2025
"The lessons learned from continued efforts to integrate with partners and generate combat airpower in a contested environment apply across the force as the U.S. Air Forces reoptimizes for Great Power Competition. "
In an air-to-surface role, the F-16 can fly more than 500 miles, deliver its weapons with superior accuracy, defend itself against enemy aircraft, and return to its starting point.."
"The adroit PAF Pilots upheld their mastery and legacy of professionalism amongst the aircrew of the eight participating air forces. During the exercise JF-17 fighter of Pakistan Air Force was pitched against multiple state of the art fighters of the world, where the PAF’s fighter jet proved its combat potential and agility.
The Lessons learned will help in shaping how the PAF will fight in a modern, contested environment. "

I agree. Super cruise capability is essential in a 5th gen fighter. I imagine KAAN will be delivered with a super cruise Turkish engine once it is available for export?

It appears that CATIC is involved in developing high end fighters and they are no longer enthusiastic about JF-17. Why doesn’t Pakistan take over full production of the fighter.
