According to the Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA), Peru requested the purchase of 10 F-16C Block 70 fighters and two F-16D Block 70 dual-seat variants. The proposed fleet of 12 F-16 Block 70 jets represents the most modern iteration of the long-serving fighter. The Block 70 incorporates advanced avionics, extended service life, and the AN/APG-83 active electronically scanned array (AESA) radar, which delivers greater situational awareness and targeting precision. The order also covers training versions of these missiles, including Captive Air Training Missiles (CATMs) and tactical guidance units. Introducing the F-16 Block 70 would align Peru more closely with US and NATO standards, potentially improving interoperability in multinational operations.
