I believe using harsh words without knowing the full context is more stupid in terms of learning.
F16s have definite advantage in range and payload.
BUT BUT BUT
iF you compare the upcoming AESA and PL15 with current PAF block 52 APG and AMRRAM then ??
IF you compare c802/803 and CM400 with Harpoon then ?
If you compare REK/SOW/H2/4 Raadi/ii with only LGBs with F16 available to PAF Then ?
If you compare the overall Sync of Link17 system with AWACS and JF17s vs F16s Then ?
If you compare the political independence to produce/operate and maintain the JF17s with F16s Then ?
If you Compare the integration flexibility have Brazilian/French/Chinese and Pakistani system on JF17 with US/NATO only systems on f16s then ?
I humbly suggest to give others a chance and try to give them leverage as well.
Calling one one stupid without knowing complete details and context is a self bias.
