This thread is childish , there are a bunch of pakistani nationalists who will not understand any logic and shout and scream every time we tell the truth .
first of all , F-14 was replaced by F-22 in USAF , so .....
also if F-14 is old , SO is F-16
thirdly comparing F-14 to JF-17 or F-16 is a mere joke !!! radar range of F-14 is 300km and its missiles can reach 200 km easily .
really want to know how u guys manage to evade a Phoniex missile
about combat readiness of F-14 , all of our tomcats had undergone heavy (real heavy) overhaul .

Domestic upgrades include avionics,
weapons (R-73E,
AIM-54A+ “Fakkur”, AIM-54A, AIM-7E and AIM-9J are among the air to air missiles adapted to the aircraft’s fire control system) and color scheme: indeed the plane was give a three-tone Asian Minor II camouflage pattern resembling the one adopted by
Russian 4th and 5th generation fighter planes and
U.S. Aggressors.
========================================
we also have Mig-29 which have no equivalent in PAF .
besides F-16 and JF-17 (a chinese fighter) PAF has nothing to offer .
and also some members mentioned pilot training , their comments were nothing but JOKE .
our pilot instructors are trained by US themselves . quite the joke now ....
