IT APPRAERS that pressure is mounting on both the United states government as well as Lockheed Martin from sources including Kuwait, suudi arabia as well as isreal not to go ahead with the deal for F-16 c/d block 50/52 or even referbished f-16 retirering from the USAF , my sources within the IrAF say that the airforce and the government are well aware of this pressure and official spoksman have said to the americans ( we are getting front line multi role aircraft be it F-16 or others)
sources within the airforce are pushing towards Mirage2000/rafale deal with france or 29SMT/SU-30k
