Block 70/72 cost is around 160 to 200 million dollars. Whereas cost of one JF-17 Block 3 is no more than 40 million dollars.This is opinionated source.
DSI was introduced in Block II.
While Block III is a leap from Block II on many counts, it is not cheap anymore.
F-16 offer superior range, speed, and payload capacity in comparison. The latest Block 70/72 is very advanced variant and reasonably priced.
Half-baked comparison here.
No jet fighter is that expensive (assuming unitary cost).Block 70/72 cost is around 160 to 200 million dollars. Whereas cost of one JF-17 Block 3 is no more than 40 million dollars.
In fact PAF can buy +4 JF-17 Block 3 from the money to buy on F-16 Block 70/72.
I humbly request all Pakistani members to seriously discuss this topic.
Keeping in view current geopolitical situation, specially Israel's relationship with UAE and India, there is a possibility, that PAF facing Israeli F-35s.
We all are comparing IAF Rafales, but if Israel decide to attack our nuclear sites using F-35 parked in IAF/UAE bases, this will be a greater challenge. Israelis are good pilots and can exploit the capability Israeli F-35 to the fullest.
What should be PAF strategy to counter this threat?
Appreciate that Israeli Air Force F-35 already flew undetected over Iranian Air Space.
Why will Israel attack Pakistan? Is Pakistan planning on helping Iran develop nuclear weapons?
Is Pakistan planning on attacking Israel? Is Pakistan a threat to the state of Israel? You may as well imagine scenarios in preparation for attacks by PLAAF J-20s or Martians.
There are number of reasons why Israel cannot be considered as low threat country.Why will Israel attack Pakistan? Is Pakistan planning on helping Iran develop nuclear weapons?

With due respect, I do not agree with your statement.Seconded.
Our only problems are with India, our weapons are meant for them only. The Joos can rest easy.
The F-35s are really nice by the way, it's a platform that's really growing on me, every comment on capability we hear is more impressive than the last.
I know when IAF inducted SU-30 MKIs in late 90s, similar comments were heard. At that time PAF pilots were working out on tactical strategies to counter Su 30 MKI threat.lol @ phus phusi V F35 lightening

US and its allies are buy about 500 F-35s. Due to bulk demand the overall production cost was reduced.Not sure if that is accurate, even most, if not all variants of the F-35 would be less than $160 mn per jet now. In fact, based on this article, the cost is down to $80 mn:
F-35 program costs are evolving, and these savings matter
In an era of increased military competition and during a period of tremendous budgetary constraints, incremental savings across a large enterprise program matter.www.defensenews.com

This plane cost around 70-90 million a piece.
