It fits well with PAF defensive doctrine.
Every AF would love to have jets with more range and take up more role in strike inside enemy territory, thus relieving logistics as well as stress on front line fighters. I do not think that PAF have more aggressive plans but to add more assets to the defensive assets. IAF wanted the Tejas to have long legs enough to use it against PLAAF's future lower end jet, i.e, J-10. Just think JFT have more or less same range to the F-16 or near to it? It will be a grave situation for IAF.
