I honestly do not understand - and I would appreciate it if someone could explain it to me - why do we not got for J10s when we are willing to go for f16s that are sanction prone and such?
Especially, given how the Indians are inducting newer more advanced platforms and in aiming for larger numbers?
Surely, if J10s are good enough for the Chinese military to face off against the US, why aren't they so us? They have larger payload and range than jf17 - and likely would have a lot in common with jft.
Thank you to anyone who can explain. Thanks.

The one and only problem in inducting a new platform is Infrastructure.You have to train pilots,mechanics,build repair facility and have form a supply chain.
All these facilities are available for F-16. That's why PAF is still stuck on F-16s.
IMO PAF should wait till 2020 for more F-16s. If there are no more F-16s in sight then PAF should swallow hard pill and move towards J-10.
