To answer your question.
When you refer to 200 JF-17s from 400. You must also realize that every system brings with it costs. These include the cost of buying it, maintaining it, training on it(pilots + engineering staff) and then diplomatic ownership costs. Even the JF-17s are still expensive to maintain when compared to our F-7s.
Which is why until the recent economic improvement, we were struggling to even make 150 Jf-17s by 2018; for a total force of 150 Jf-17s, 80 F-16s and 50 PGs. Against this, we are well aware of what our adversary brings. If you see my thread on the JF-17, it explains the very reason the JF-17 is a valuable asset.
I would refer you to this thread first
JF-17 Thunder: Made for the PAF
And then my answer to this ridiculous thread.

Now, as to why I lament these threads.. I ask the question:
Why the expert?
See, my whole message to these few threads is not that I would not love to contribute and create discussion, but that recent posts by supposed experts and the rest have all only watered our general Pakistani mentality of talking or saying or coming with ideas without doing a little more than basic research.
I would have appreciated you much further had you gone out, read a lot more, researched a lot more..and then come back with something that regardless of whether it is right or wrong; has substance to it.
Like this, I have no idea about civil engineering. However, I will strive my best to do some research.. read about highways. Go to google, go all the way to the fifth tab in searching out links on highways and road construction. It will take me around 2 hours to do it. But when I finally ask the question as to why we dont build a straight CPEC instead of the route undertaken now, Ill not only feel better at that I am asking the right question; but also be much more satisfied with a good answer.
Unfortunately, we have some
senior(in every sense of the word) posters here making threads on whatever nincompoop ideas that pop into their heads and people following them because that is the ignorance they are brining and teaching. They ruined Pakistan with their belief in half baked ideas and are only teaching the future generation the same.
Its like people gobbling up ideas of politicians saying they will finish corruption in 90 days. They will give a simplistic answer and those who are not inclined to look at their basic issues with even a minor amount of research will be screaming Tabdeeli and believing some miracle is about to happen when in retrospect it may or may not be.
That is what I hope to inculcate in .I dont want you to listen to my existing or not "expertise". I would rather have you make the effort and learn something(not everything, but something) on your own. I would rather have you disagree with me with good factual knowledge or at least doubt and fact check what I say from different sources. That does not mean you should spend massive time being an expect, but know enough that no one can fool you in an instant.
Otherwise, we will be misled in this country by every other supposed revolutionary who can hodgepodge ideas and make some statements.
That to me is worth all my time in this forum.
