Not correct, at all. The PAF never stated plans for 54 Block 52+. It was always 36 divided into patches of 18 each. The US Navy refused to release its 14 F-16s but the USAF did. The 14 F-16s reached Pakistan in 2012. The Jordanian F-16s were purely bilateral arrangement between Pakistan and Jordan. Nothing to do with the embargoed F-16s.

Oh common, Its not like that, The original plan was before the earthquake in 2005 struck Pakistan to acquire around 77 F-16s including 50-54 new built C/D Block 50/52. But when the funds needed after earthquake Musharraf Govt changed the plan and went for 36 new and 28 embargoed F-16s and 36 J-10s from China.

And about 36 they planned to acquire in 18+18 option.
For 13 ex-Jordanian F-16s, Jordan cannot deliver any F-16s even its part without US permission and before going for Jordanian F-16s Pakistan got permission from USA and US allow it as supplement of 14 Navy F-16s.
