Pakistan Air Force Looks for Additional 18 F-16 C/D Block 52+

Pakistan air force is looking to use the option for the purchase of 18 additional F-16 C/D Block 52+ fighters aircrafts. Pakistan has already taken the delivery of the first 18 F-16 C/D Block 52+ fighters aircrafts under the "Peace Drive I" package.

Pakistan air force is also upgrading its 45 F-16A/B Block 15 aircrafts through Mid-Life Update (MLU) package. Upgrade will allow F-16AM/BM (MLU) to use all the latest weapons including AMRAAM BVR missiles which were purchased with F-16 C/D Block 52+.replace those destroyed in the May 22 terrorist attack on PNS Mehran in Karachi.

However, there was a very strong possibility another Oliver Hazard Perry class frigate would be transferred to Pakistan when it was retired from USN service later this year.
