we dont need tankers for f-16s. with two drop tanks, it has enough range to go deep inside enemy territory on a strike mission. and besides our f-16s have more of a "fighter-intercept" role. F-16s are usually called when there is infilteration by the enemy aircrafts. they dont do CAP missions( they do, but not for so long), thats the job for thunder now...
its small and more efficient.

A310 is serving with PIA now, and since you already know PIA is not in good shape. it needs those aircrafts.
