There was a report published few months ago that mentioned that USN is pushing hawkeyes so they can link up with the PN hawkeyes and gather information. The number is between 8 to 10. PAF has tested Erieyes and have liked it. I am not sure if they are still in Pakistan for any further testing.

I can see two scenerios, from what you have mentioned if Pakistan is buying few F-16s then most likely they are looking at Grippen and Erieye package deal.

Unless PAF is looking for two separate orders of F-16s, new ones under FMS and older ones under aid programme with MLU and hawkeyes.

Lots of people have suggested they might go for both hawkeye and Erieye deal but thats highly doubtful.

har de har har 😀 the J-10 finally stablized into its final form after God knows how many
thousands of PSed “visions” by enthusiastic people.

PSed images are one thing but J-10 did exist, and there was no denying to it. even if you go back to late 2003 yo will still see the same PSed image of the J-10 without anystructural changes. Point I am trying to make is even the chinese enthusiasts never showed any PSed images of equipment that didn’t exist.

if you really talked to Pakistani general and if he is retired then he should have definitely told you that retired officers are completely out of classified material specially new purchases.

Even if you asked a serving wing commander about any on going purchases or deals, he wouldn’t be lying if he told you that he ad no idea.even in DJ, you would never see any ex-officer speculating on what ilitary is working on or trying to buy.

Pakistani military purchase circle is very closed. Besides the senior commanding officers whoes units require certain equipment, no one knows whats going on, even they don’t know the ins and outs of the dealings and this is to avoid any kickbacks also.

dont forget that PAF is in love with F-16s

if the general suggested that some are influencing more F-16s and some want european platform then he was giving his and some of the officers’ personal opinion which would be far from the reality.

do you happen to remember the name of the retired Pakistani General?

So far I have not seen one disinformation about any chinese military equipment. Anything that has been reported on the internet by enthusiasts have come true. J-10, FT2000, subs, naval vessels, tanks, you name it.

Its widely known that China has been working on different cruise missile projects, some are based on Russian designs and some are off of US.

actually you need to get your facts straight, Pakistani centriguges were sent to UN not at US request but at Iran’s request, do a search on the net, you will have your answer.
