رحمة الله ويلهم اهله الصبر

خبر حزين الله يرحمه رحمه واسعه مع الشهداء

الطائرات الاردنية اف 16 هى من الانتاج الاولى من هذة الطائرت فكلها انتاج عامى 1977-1978 اى انها طائرات تتجاوز 30 عاما فى اعمارها فالهيكل قديمه جدا ولا تتحمل اجهادات طيران عالية خاصة انه لم يتم لها احداث تطويرات او استبدال لاجزاء الهيكل كل ما تم اجراءة من تحديثات تم على الافيونيكس والرادرات ولكن قدم الهيكل يجعل تلك الطائرت مشكوك فى سلامتها للطيران وليس متوقع من طائرت قديمه مثلها ان تكون بفاعليه مثل الانتاج الحديث منها وقد اخرجت تلك الطائرت من الاساس بالخدمه من هولندا وبلجيكا حيث انها تعدت عدد ساعات طيران 8000 ساعه وهو عمر الهيكل لها من قبل نظرا نتهاء اعمارها الافتراضية واستكمال تلك الطائرت لساعات الطيران لعمر الهيكل ولا تمتلك الاردن للاسف امكانية اعادة بناء تلك الطائرت او مركز Depot Level حتى يمكن اجراء الصيانه العميقه لتك الطائرت داخل الاردن وبتكلفه اقل حيث ان تكلفه مركز Depot Level عام 1996 بلغت لطائرت اف 16 اكثر من 200 مليون دولار بخلاف تكلفه الاجزاء المراد استبدالها


كما ان الطائرت الباكستانية التى فى نفس اعمار الطائرت الاردنية انفقت الباكستان عليها مبالغ ضخمه جدا لاعادة بناءها وتطويرها والتى تكلف البرنامج كاملا مع 18 طائرة جديدة 5100 مليون دولار وهو يوضح بجلاء ان تكلفه تطوير تلك الطئرات واعادتها صالحة للاستخدام بفاعليه مكلف جدا فضلا عن ادامتها وقيام الاردن بحشر عشرات الطائرت القديمة من اف 15 والتى تعدت 50 طائرة مشكوك فى فاعليتها فى اى صراعات عسكرية الا اذا كان استقدام تلك الطائرت علميه تسكين للعسكرينن او الاستعراضات الجوية ملحق مع الرد اجزاء الصفقة الباكستانية والخاصة فقط بتطوير 60 طائرة اف 16 مستلعمله والتى توضح بجلاء القيمة الكبيرة لاعادة طائرت مثل الاف 16 الى الحياة بعد انتهاء معظم الاعمار الافتراضية وليس فقط استقدامها كما هى قديمه واجاء تحديثات شكليه عليها لذا يجب على الحكومة الاردنية ان تسارع بتطوير تلك الطائرت واعادة بناء الهياكل او شراء طائات حديثة بدلا من شراء طائرت اعماهرا فوق الثلاثون عاما استهلكت من الاساس

جزء من الصفقة الخاص بتطوير الطائرات القديمة الباكستانية المماثلة للطائرت الاردنية ويوضح المصدر التكلفه لعدد تقريى مماثل لطائرت الاردن
Pakistan – F-16A/B Mid-Life Update Modification Kits

On 28 June 2006, the Defense Security Cooperation Agency notified Congress of a possible Foreign Military Sale to Pakistan of 60 F-16A/B Mid-Life Update Modification kits as well as associated equipment and services. The total value, if all options are exercised, could be as high as $1.3 billion.
The Government of Pakistan has requested a possible sale of 60 F-16A/B Mid-Life Update (MLU) modification and Falcon Star Structural Service Life Enhancement kits consisting of:
APG-68(V)9 with Synthetic Aperture Radar or APG-66(V)2 radar;
Joint Helmet Mounted Cueing Systems;
AN/APX-113 Advanced Identification Friend or Foe Systems;
AN/ALE-47 Advanced Countermeasures Dispenser Systems;
Have Quick I/II Radios;
Link-16 Multifunctional Information Distribution System-Low Volume Terminals;
SNIPER (formerly known as AN/AAQ-33 PANTERA) targeting pod capability;
Reconnaissance pod capability;
Advanced Air Combat Maneuvering Instrumentation Units;
MDE included in the MLU modification and structural upgrade kits
21 ALQ-131 Block II Electronic Countermeasures Pods without the Digital Radio Frequency Memory (DRFM) or ALQ-184 Electronic Countermeasures Pods without DRFM;
60 ALQ-213 Electronic Warfare Management Systems;
1 Unit Level Trainer; and
10 APG-68(V)9 spare radar sets.
Also included are radars, modems, receivers, installation, avionics, spare and repair parts, support equipment, CONUS-personnel training and training equipment, technical assistance, publications and technical documentation, system drawings, U.S. Government and contractor engineering, and other related logistics elements necessary for full program support. The estimated cost is $1.3 billion.
Given its geo-strategic location and partnership in the Global War on Terrorism (GWOT), Pakistan is a vital ally of the United States, as reflected in the June 2004 designation of Pakistan as a Major Non-North Atlantic Treaty Organization Ally. This proposed sale will contribute to the foreign policy and national security of the United States by helping an ally meet its legitimate defense requirements. The upgraded aircraft also will be used for close air support in ongoing operations contributing to the GWOT.
Pakistan intends to purchase the MLU Program equipment to enhance survivability, communications connectivity, and extend the useful life of its F-16A/B fighter aircraft. The modifications and upgrades in
this proposed sale will permit Pakistan’s F-16A/B squadron to operate safely, and enhance Pakistan’s conventional deterrent capability. Pakistan’s air fleet can readily use these updates to enhance and extend the life of its aircraft.
Consistent with U.S. conventional arms transfer policy and arms control initiatives, this potential sale will allow the Pakistani Air Force to modernize its aging fighter inventory, thereby enabling Pakistan to support both its own air defense needs and coalition operations.
Purchase of this MLU Program equipment would not significantly reduce India’s quantitative or qualitative military advantage. Release of the MLU Program equipment to Pakistan will neither affect the regional balance of power nor introduce a new technology as this level of capability or higher already exists in other countries in the region.


Pakistan – F-16 Engine Modifications and Falcon UP/STAR Structural Upgrades

On 28 June 2006, the Defense Security Cooperation Agency notified Congress of a possible Foreign Military Sale to Pakistan of Engine Modifications and Falcon UP/STAR Structural Upgrades as well as associated equipment and services. The total value, if all options are exercised, could be as high as $151 million.
The Government of Pakistan has requested a possible sale for modification/overhaul of 14 F100-PW-220E engines, 14 Falcon UP/STAR F-16 structural upgrade kits, de-modification and preparation of 26 aircraft, support equipment, software development/integration, modification kits, spares and repair parts, flight test instrumentation, publications and technical documentation, personnel training and training equipment, U.S. Government and contractor technical and logistics personnel services, and other related requirements to support the program. The estimated cost is $151 million.
Given its geo-strategic location and partnership in the Global War on Terrorism (GWOT), Pakistan is a vital ally of the United States, as reflected in the June 2004 designation of Pakistan as a Major Non-North Atlantic Treaty Organization Ally. This proposed sale will contribute to the foreign policy and national security of the United States by helping an ally meet its legitimate defense requirements. The modification of the engines and Falcon UP/STAR structural updates will provide capable F-16’s that can be used for close air support in ongoing operations contributing to the GWOT.
Consistent with U.S. conventional arms transfer policy and arms control initiatives, this potential sale will allow the Pakistani Air Force to modernize aircraft thereby enabling Pakistan to support both its own air defense needs and coalition operations.
Release of these systems would not significantly reduce India's quantitative or qualitative military advantage. Release of these modifications to Pakistan will neither affect the regional balance of power nor introduce a new technology as this level of capability or higher already exists in other countries in the region.

بعض الزملاء ذكروا سابقا في الساحات ان هذه الطائرات بعد تحديثها اصبحت في مستوي بلوك 50-52 من الاف-16 .وقد استفسرت عن سبب تخلص دول اوربيه من هذه الطائرات طالما كان يمكن تطويرها بهذه البساطه؟
