There is one thing that always intrigued me. Why didn't UK had any in their inventory?
bcoz they have Typhoon far superior than F-16 s
bcoz they have Typhoon far superior than F-16 s
Typhoon was introduced in 2003 and F-16's were the champs and still they are. Don't compare their earlier blocks with EF. Do you remember when F-16s were performing in Iraq war and performance of British Champ Tornados wasn't good and India stopped considering it's purchase. So question by deathfromabove is a very valid question.
UK has a history of losing contracts to rival US companies when it comes to defense sales..They have or had many military jets which they produced indigenous but had no or limited foreign buyers..RAF was the only major buyer of most jet fighters they produced..If had gone for F-16..many of their own production jets had no buyers.EF-2000! was only complete a few years back, he means to ask why havn't they??? given 30 years of service with other countries, why hasn't Britain bought any?
F-16 lived a very glamorous life among the different NATO and ex-CENTO/SEATO forces totally. But now it has outlived itself and anyone considering its purchase is simply buyting into an old aircraft in a new package. Block 80 offered to IAF is as new as it can get but the future of light multirole fighters belongs to SAAB Gripen NG, Tejas series (Mk-2 onwards) and FC-1.
Gripen is more agile and versatile than F-16s, has a lot of advantages over it and still somehow is not able to withstand the American charm offensive on different countries.

I didn't know there is block 80 
I am not even sure about block 70.It was block 60.block 70 was offered to IAF ...........not block 80...............block 80 doesnt exist
It was block 60.

bcoz they have Typhoon far superior than F-16 s
