PAF F16s did shoot down an Afghani Mig with guns during soviet occupation of Afghanistan.

Hi,

So---in 40 years maybe 1 gun kill and over 250 missile kills worldwide is that what you wanted to say---.

Guns were thought to be redundant during the Vietnam war. But then again WVR combat was the norm. I am not sure going forward if fighter pilots will ever see the enemy with the naked eye. Once combat drones feature and are adept at ariel engagements. The need for guns will be zero

I'll stress this again. Jf17 squadrons with drones that carry additional bvr missile should be the agenda. While jf17 locks the target, drone fires the missile. Since, jf17 does not carry more than 4 or even 6 in future sd 10s. If drones can assist that would really be excellent high tech addition.

Same could be done with AWACS aircraft

Yes, then awacs will have something in arsenal to fire. Drones are difficult to detect and cheaper to maintain as pilot is safe miles away.

Except drone will give you subpar missile performance as both the range and the missile envelope will be severely degraded. Drone are better for carrying A-G loitering or long range munitions, making them capable of hitting targets well inside India without putting jets and pilots at risk.

Kizilema like drones. Plus, science of drone is improving. Pakistan can work on that.

How effective drones are in Ukraine conflict against Russia ....

That will be yard stick of drone effectiveness against India

An excellent pair of Mirage 2000 and JF-17 Thunder during a bilateral aerial exercise. Both of these aircraft have potent BVR and WVR arsenal along with exceptional air to ground capability.
