Pakistan has integrated much more lethal systems than an ACMI Pod on it's Vipers. Watch out for 19 Squadron F-16s stationed in Bholari.

Indigenous ACMI pod was available to PAF from decades, even NG version is around from 10 or 12 years.Yes PAF had this capability before with American and Turkish pods but now the PAF is using an indigenous product produced by Pakistan Aeronautical Complex Avionics factory.
Exactly indigenous pod was integrated with JF-17 while we know Turkish pod was contracted which sense only for F-16To be honest from this picture it looks more like this Turkish ACMI pod:

The Turkish pod is both for F-16 and JF-17.Exactly indigenous pod was integrated with JF-17 while we know Turkish pod was contracted which sense only for F-16
Its not that hard to comprehend. Americans know F16 is an old combat system, PAF probably asked permission to integrate it and Americans most likely agreed. They know whatever we come up with wouldn't be as capable as what they have on the market so they don't careThat doesn't answer my question. How is Pakistan able to integrate and change the configuration of advanced F-16 blocks that are supposedly monitored by the Americans? According to the deal between Pakistan and the US, US personnel is allowed to periodically monitor the Block 52 F-16s. I am surprised how Pakistan has been able to add indigenous tech to these fighters. Either the monitoring has stopped or the Americans have allowed Pakistan to do whatever it likes with these F-16s, right?
