PAF F-16 | Discussions

Oh here we go again! Debated so many times, think there are 3 main camps on PDF about this

Camp 1: Yes, lets get them! Vital not to be too dependant on China, and keeps us active with NATO partners
Camp: 2: Only if subsdized, and only on the Block 52s with another 18 new Block 72 purchased
Camp 3: Never, US cannot be trusted, future is J-10/J-35, save the money

Basically all posts will fall into one of these three camps

As soon I set up my Twitter account I will also post
"J-35" one day

"AH-1Z" the other day

"Hypersonics" some day

And one day "T-65B"

Thing is people reposting the crappy X accounts on here gives them wider coverage and a greater incentive to post crap

I think Pakistan is gonna push for F-16 Vs here, once this Iran US thing settles down beyond 60 days.

It is trump in power. You never know what he will sign off or how many funds he will give you. Could be anything. Trump is really the Trump card for Pakistan in Washington at the moment.

Maybe, but a small possibility, and I will only whisper it for fear of backlash, is that PAF themselves may no longer care for more new F-16s anymore....

How times have changed...

A few years back on the former [PDF] if a news like this used to come out - we'd exhaust 12-13 Pages in the 1st Hour of any rumor/news.

Truth be told, other than the fact Pakistan has never been so close to the US (in Decades) - this may be...perhaps...the last hail Mary...without a doubt for us.

I'm not looking to get into 'Can we trust the US', I think we all know the answer for that.

And I certainly don't want to get into it with the J-Fanboys.

Let's wait and see what lies at the end of the rainbow.

It's not just American distrust. We don't even bother to bargain or even put forward a major request anymore. Considering the softened relations we have right now with the Trump administration, we seriously could have at the very least asked for reissuing of the license for T-129s with American engines for as a matter of fact any other system that has American components.

Why stop at J-35 and AH-1Z?
I'll start an account and Larp about Fujian entering Pakistani service and we're getting that new VTOL fighter the Chinese are working on and call it a Pakistani programme
