Turkey began to modernize Pakistan F-16 fighters
Turkey has started to upgrade 45 Pakistani Lockheed Martin F-16 figters. Its reported to the Pakistani portal The News by the Pakistan Chief of Air Staff Rao Qamar Suleman (Rao Wamar Suleman).What exactly modernization work is about, Suleman did not elaborate.
Commander of the Pakistan Air Force also noted that in March 2011, Pakistan will form a new squadron of F-16 fighter and the JF-17 (FC-1) Thunder. Currently, the arsenal of Pakistan is 21 JF-17 and assembles another nine such fighters.
In mid-November 2010 it is reported that the U.S. company Lockheed Martin has transferred to Pakistan three new F-16 Block 52. In total, Air Force should have 18 of these aircraft, the latter of which will arrive in 2012.
Currently, Pakistan Air Force operate flights on 96 F-16A / B Block 15, bought from the U.S. in 1983. In May 2010, with Lockheed Martin was awarded a contract to carry out works to improve the 35 F-16A / B. The deal amounted to 325 million dollars.
That article is not correct. The PAF has already received all 18x of it's new build Block 52 F-16's from Lockheed Martin. The final batch of 5x aircraft was delivered to Pakistan on 13 December 2010.

AW149. Turkey is interested in it. Maybe Meteor, other missiles, ships - all sorts of possibilities.

On 22 June 2008, the agreement between TUSAS Aerospace Industries and AgustaWestland formally entered into force. It has now been confirmed that the T-129 will be a 100% Turkish built platform. Under the agreement, TAI will develop an indigenous mission computer, avionics, weapons systems, self-protection suites and the helmet-mounting cuing systems. TUSAS Engine Industries Inc (TEI) will manufacture the LHTEC CTS800-4N engines under licence. Under the agreement, Turkey has full marketing and intellectual property rights for the T-129 platform. There are also no restrictions imposed on Turkey for the export or transfer of the platform to third countries (excluding Italy and the United Kingdom).

Anyone else played Battlefield: Bad Company 2? That Turkish UAV helo looks similar to the UAV in the game although the one in the game also looks similar to the MQ-8 Fire Scout.
Meanwhile the first Turkish modernized C-130 Hercules under Erciyes project made its maiden flight on March 2. A total of 13 C-130B/Es are to receive extensive avionics upgrade by TAI and Air Force 2nd Air Supply and Maintenance Center until 2013.

Any word on the TuAF's Simsek program? Has it proceeded smoothly up to this point?
Is the aircraft performing as the TuAF requires?
It is underway at 1st Air Supply and Maintenance Center in Eskisehir; to be completed late this year. The Isik programme for the modernization of RF-4Es (to be designated as RF-4ETM) has been completed.
