It is part of the US deal for licensed assembly called Peace Onyx III MLU. Brings older F-16s up to Block 50 standard.

I am quiet ignorant about this. Can u still clarify it more- what does block 50 has more? Does the radar change? Does it have better a2a capabilities ?

What are all included in the peace onyx upgrade deal ? And are the JDAMs up for sale, heard they won't be offered in the market.

The Pakistani Air Force has received its first batch of three F-16 Block 15 MLU (Mid Life Upgrade) aircraft from Ankara, Turkey. The aircraft were earlier sent to TAI (Turkish Aerospace Industries) for Mid Life Upgrade and have been delivered to PAF on time.


The PAF had signed a contract with TAI to upgrade all its F-16 Block 15 aircraft in October 2010. Under the Peace Drive II program, TAI is performing avionics and structural modernization of F-16 aircraft that are on the inventory of Pakistan Air Force since 1982-83 and the project is planned to be completed by September 2014.
