Turkish Aerospace Industries Inc (TUSAS) has delivered three modernised F-16 aircraft to PAF, the semi-official Anatolia news agency reported. Turkish Defense Industry Undersecretary Murad Bayar was quoted as saying at a delivering ceremony that Turkey and Pakistan had successfully cooperated in a wide range of technology, including radio, electronics and military information systems. PAF Deputy Commander Asim Suleiman said that Pakistan’s air defense will become even stronger with the aircraft modernised in structural and avionic aspects. TUSAS signed the contract with the Defence Ministry in June 2009 after winning out in the tender of PAF F-16 Modernisation (Peace Drive II) Programme.
