That 144 (if that is the final number0 is going to take 8 to 10 years. In that timeframe PAF would have inducted 200 Thunders and maybe another 30-40 used F-16's.
PAF's next tier 1 platform purchase is also due, there was a reason why PAF did not go with J10's, now that indian MMCA cat is out of bag, PAF planners can go to the drawing board and start working on their needs.
It's a cycle that keeps repeating itself, we spend astronomical amounts on acquiring armaments that we will never use and the west makes money and uses it on the welfare of their citizens.

So you now 6-2 is LOL for you..... when just a while back you said they are comparable
BTW Pakistan has F-16 block 52..... and eventually it will be 144 Rafales vs 85 odd F-16....
Even if this ratio holds fast see what that means....
