Noone knows, Pentagon keeps rejecting to equip these f-16s with AMRAAM almost neutring them, they are not that good in air-air combat cause of the absence of the AMRAAMs
But.... When Israel receive all of it's F-35s, it should be acceptable for USA to let us get the AMRAAM, RIGHT ???
I mean, to will help keep the strategic balance in the Middle East, which is what America actually wants, in addition to the most important goal of keeping the superiority of Israel. I mean, they probably won't let the gape between Israel and Egypt's Ari forces increase so much, I think.
But, generally... Why not get another big number of MIG-29M and MIG-35, may be SU-30 and SU-35, in addition also to more Rafale and going back to buying Mirage 2000 (May be the Emirate version)... Getting the JF-17 Block 3 (And may be investing in the program with China and Pakistan... I think we should probably be doing this already).
With a big number of F-16 (Some of them, or a lot of them are older blocks), Rafale, Mirage 2000, MIG-29M/35, SU-30 and SU/35, and may be an affordable fighter jet like the JF-17 or another Chinese jet fighter... we will be doing fine, not as good as we wish, but a very acceptable rate of introducing new jets to our Air Force.
I don't know, though.... Would the high price be our only problem if we wanted to buy, say only 12 or 16, Euro Fighter Typhoon ? Or, will we face another biased decision from the UK, deciding not to sell to us, to keep our Air Force power restricted ???
