I don't think at this point a lot of countries operate the tiny but lethal YAKs.

Myanmar will become the fourth export customer for the Yak-130 after Algeria(16), Bangladesh(16), and Belarus(4) when they get three later this year along with a simulator.

I read someplace that Bangladesh was also considering a new armored ground-attack variant (YAK-131) which is being bought by the Russian Air Force. This was meant to replace the SU-25 which was an A-10 Warthog analog i.e. tank-buster.

However there are more modern SU-25 variants from Sukhoi as well which offer much better performance (load carrying as well as better armor) than this converted trainer and have been refined over decades of actual combat experience.

How about replacing them with Russian counterparts? With 3D thrust vectoring engines or I'm dreaming too much!

So,J-10 or JF-17/FC-01 Thunder or J-11?



The Gripen can even take down an F-35...Its almost as strong as Rafael...

Gripen was said as "Cannon Fodder" by British pilots who took em like little birds in the sky by their eft2k.But again PAF f-16blk15 took eft2k down too in a simulated WVR 3 nil.
Gripen NG however is a different story has a better system overall comparable to F-16 blk50 in capabilities.

Is it true... majority of Pakistan f-16 are not up to date or isn't in combat preparedness because of parts that needs to be repaired... overhauled? Was there in Indian defense thread I think.

You need to check your facts. Its nothing but Indian propaganda. The entire F-16 fleet is upgraded and ready to roll. All 80+ of them.

60 F-16s were MLUed and upgraded to Blk 50 by using Falcon Star Structural Service Life Enhancement kits at TAI.
Making 'em a perfect match for the mkis.
PAF at the moment is not short at spares.In case of any aggression all F-16s will face aggressors face to face.
