chill, I dont think you know how CFTs really work. If they were not useful then why would majority of country with new F-16 Block 50/52+ have CFTs. If thy were not useful then why on earth would the Top fighters in the world be employing them. Eurofighere, F-18, F-15, F-CK-1 and even Rafale are all going to be using them in the future look it up. J-10 was under testing a little while back. So if most of the major powers of world are considering CFTs then it would be logical to assume that Pakistan will eventually deploy them as well. And you comment about load limitations, they are not used in every type of mission. They are primarily used when space is at a premium and there is an extended or long mission planned. Yes for air to air missions drop tanks are a logical option. What I have learned is that CFTs are also used during air to ground mission as well, you can tell as some of these fighters are employing CFTs and air to ground munitions. Please look up information before you post.Not every A/C is F16 and not every A/C is made by L.H Martin...do u think JF-17 will be able to do an effective dogfight with CFTs fitted to it...CFTs may have benefits but they hv limitations as well e.g g-load limitations and air drag and PAC even installed removable IFR probe just to reduce airdrag then why on Earth install CFTs..JF17 doesnt has a P&W engine like an F16..a lot of thrust diff b/w the two..and there are lot of other reasons like this...and why would it even need CFTs any major advantage?
PEACE!
Eurofighter
Rafale
F-18 (in testing)
