50 years old and still relevant. Now that's a sign of great engineering.
Greece🇬🇷 is also upgrading 82 of its f-16s from block 52+ to block 72. So far, up to 20 aircraft have been modernized, and there is a possibility of additionally upgrading another 38 block 50s to block 70 in the future. I would like to add that a percentage of f-16s and c-130s fuselage is manufactured in hai (ΕΑΒ) in Greece.
not inducting the F-16V Fighting Falcon (Block 70) multi role all weather fighter in the USAF is a big mistake . . .
Cheaper research and development for the US trust me we’ll have the upgrades in our fleet
Why? F-35 is better than the F-16 in every aspect except dogfighting.
I agree to a certain point. But the US, even with its massive defense budget, can’t buy everything. F-35s. F-15EX Eagle IIs, F/A-18 Block IIIs. B-21s. Eventually, the NGAD winner. Lastly, it’s been widely reported that any current F-16s rot in service will undergo upgrades that are akin to Block 70 capabilities.
“Mistakes” can be said about the USAF not selecting the YF-23, F-16XL Supersnake, F-15 Silent Eagle, etc.
Agreed, the US needs to leverage foreign investment in the F-16V upgrades much like they are doing with the F-15EX. Let's face it, stealth is super EXPENSIVE and even the US has budget limits. You need stealth aircraft but we can't buy thousands of F-35's, B-21's and NGAD's.
And Greece upgraded the first one in the USA and the rest are done in Greece domestically. The Block 70 can be upgraded from older Blocks (Greece uses Blk 52+) or buy new.
3:36 Morocco too 🇲🇦
I Love F 16❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Such a beautiful fighter. Powerplant is so powerful. India? Pakistan also has F-16.
My favourite plane just got better!
Nope, not being built in India. They are actually building them in South Carolina. If India had chosen this model, then yes, they would be built there but they passed. They chose the Rafale instead.
F16 was never pitched to India.
F21, upgrade from f16 but different from f16 block 70 was offered.
Isn't India stopped the F-16 deal? Instead, they'll focus on their Tejas Mk2 fighter.
umm they were giving us block 30 so
@@ummshivam India Air Force not have F-16....
They building 💩 fighter planes
Eh. Conformal tanks have been an integral part of the Block 52 already. Productions has started early as the Hellenic Airforce had already had 10 Block 70 in August 2023! Research better!
F-16 Viper Block70 is a great weapon System. Taiwan has around 200 F-16V.
Out of curiosity can it still have drop tanks instead of this attached tanks? Can it have both to add even further range?
Yes and yes, as shown in the video.
Lol someone wasn't paying attention
Its so powerful I like it
Jorden? A zero zero ejection seat as a first? Which other mistakes have you spotted?
Amazing radar
Still my favorite fighter after all these years. The new fuel tanks certainly enhance the range capability 👍 but they don't look good 🙁
After all looks are what counts in a fighter jet.
I Love F16❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Still very expensive for a tight budget country
000
TY
Closer to 5G = ~5G=🤨
Just say 4G=😅
its like fry the fried chicken again and reselling in the age of 5th gen fighters and advance air defense systems
Lol its not? The F16 is WAY cheaper than F22, F35 and its performance for its price is great. Nobody has the money to replace all its fighters with 5th Gen Fighters
The video is from 2020...
When did India order F16s block 70?? In an alternate world maybe....
Tata is making alot of its parts specially the wings.. thats about it.. we havent ordered it, nor we will order
If we had an intelligent government we would put this into production in the US. Every currently operating F-16 would gradually be replaced with these, beginning with the oldest aircraft in service. These would fly behind the F-35 and engage targets as the F-35 detected them.
The reality is that the F-35 is soaking up most of the defense budget, and the Air Force is desperate for the NGAD. They know the F-22 and F-35 are not sufficient to do the job because the latest VHF radars can see them coming from as much as 150 miles away. The NGAD will get rid of the vertical and horizontal stabilizers, which is what allows the VHF radars to see them. The VHF radars can't lock on them but they can get range, bearing, and altitude, which is all they need to get to vector fighters in for a side or rear intercept, where the F-35 and F-22 are most vulnerable. The F-35 program is so expensive that the AF is cutting the number of average hours the F-35 can fly from something like 240 hours a year to 180 hours per year. Pilots are upset and leaving at the end of their contracts because they need to build hours faster than this so they can get out at the end of the contract and get a job with a commercial airliner. They are leaving to go to FedEx and UPS flying reginal planes to pick up packages. This is the path that civilian pilots take because you can build hours pretty fast.
The country is Jordon, not Jorden. #justforinfo
Lol no Production in India
Lol nobody care's for 💩
India will build F-16 block 70? How can be possible? They are friend from Rússia.
The design is 50 years old and Russia has probably know how it works and being build so it wasn't a big secret anymore. I believe the essential components or new features are still held tightly with the US suppliers while the frame and assembly is made by India and their suppliers.
Old wine 🍷 in a new bottle 🍾
Aged well
Quite the opposite.
Letting India make those F16's exports American Jobs! I have a problem with that!😮
I don't see how adding those ugly ass tanks can increase aerodynamics, unless they mean because they can avoid carrying the drop tanks. Of course, I am not an aerospace engineer so what do I know. I stayed at the Holiday Inn Express last night, but it didn't help much. Anyway, I do know it takes away from the normal streamlined beauty of the F16. On a serious note, I wonder how those tanks and that extra fuel weight on the top of the plane affects balance during combat maneuvers. I assume the plane has to feel different.
Made in India because?
Made in India ?????
Col. Boyd would roll over in his grave if he knew how much junk they hung on to his "lightweight" fighter.
Made in India? forget quality control then.
too expensive
Mig 35 Radar picture in F16...Stupid
That is the stupid sh!t ! Give all the technology away.
Partnering with India is a bad idea. I wouldn't call them an ally. Corporate greed over national security?
The inside of the production area is a filthy, filthy place to build a Ultra light plane, let alone the F16.
As a American 🇺🇸 I’m glad India 🇮🇳 is taking the F16 to new heights. Especially when you consider its enemy’s Pakistan and China rely on the JF17 as there primary. I pity any adversary who runs into a group of this rep if the Rafael are with them.
Abinandan is laughing on your coment having a cup of tea😂
Whether you produce it in india or Vietnam, the truth is and will always remain that no country is interested in any American plane, and the sooner you learn it the better. Be it block 72 or 92 the world is fed up with your production. Maybe the Hindus can buy it just for the sake of buying it but there are better and more advanced fighter jets out there for sale. So just stop fooling ppl that your aeging planes can still be in the market. Period!!!
Do you feel the burning sensation? Apply the burnal for relief.
JF-17, Gripen NG, J-11, Tejas etc.. all alternatives to F-16 and they're all in same class as F-16. Block 70/72 is going to be the last line. India won't be producing F-16V aka F-21 for India as they'll focus on Tejas fighters. U.S won't be buying any F-16 so are S.Korea and Netherlands instead they're upgrading to F-16V level to keep their fleet operation until 2040s. Only countries like Taiwan, Turkey and these countries mentioned from video clip have ordered extra F-16Vs from Lockheed Martin Coz they have many older variants of F-16 cannot be upgrade to Block 70 level and cannot buy F-35 or other 4.5th gen fighters which is more expensive than F-16V. US also doesn't sell F-16V upgrade kits unless the customer has a certain number of fleets in operation. Just a handful of old F-16 won't able to order upgrade kits.
Say that to the russians as well.
Funniest stuff I read this month, that was rich, thank you.
oh just shut up , american engines are far better than any of its adverseries
Made in India 😮😮😮😮😮
