Isn't FC-20 a true multirole. If it is (which i believe it is) what is point to use F-16 E/F... FYI, No more F-16s please after these 18.
If the Radar on FC-20 is comparable to APG80, we can scrap the idea of any F16E/F in PAF, otherwise F16E/F presents a extremely capable detection and long range interception platform.
My only concern is that we need a exceptionally good AESA radar to be present on either one FC-20 or F16 platforms to counter the intense jamming thrown our way in case of conflict with MKIs.
Still, we have no confirm evidence of AESA capabilities of FC-20, but once confirmation comes, i will scrap my idea of F16E/Fs in PAF.
