Turkish defence company Tusas said on Monday it would modernise 42 of Pakistan's F-16 jet fleet in a deal it said would be worth around $75 million. The project will begin in Oct 2010 in Tusas facilities and will take 46 months, the company said in a written statement. Tusas has modernised Jordan's F-16 fighters in a deal signed in 2006. NATO member Turkey and Pakistan have close military and strategic ties. Tusas signed a $500 million agreement with Airbus (EAD.PA) to produce parts for A350 planes.

What part of F-16 upgrade will be done by Tusas? Surely $75 million cant be the total cost of upgrading PAF F-16 fleet to Block 50/52.
most likely computer system
but pakistan should also ask
america for f 15- eagle along with
chinese j-10 to become formidable
This blog says old PAF F-16 to be upgraded will retain APG-66 radar and no BVR capability is being sought for them.
Is this why the upgrade program is so cheap?
So there will be only 18 new F-16 Blk50/52 with Aim 120C firing capability?
PAF F-16s Being Upgraded
MUL kits for PAF F-16 include APG-68(V)9.$75 million is fee its not upgradation cost
