but the question is, does Mk-3 can track IN flotilla?? don't forget earth curvature?? does MK-3 can data link with AWACS??? even India got exocet missile...Penguin is short to medium range missile MK-3 version has 55+ kms range, it may suit Norway's needs but not Pakistan's as it will be a very tough job for PAF to get that close to IN ships with Barak missile with 70km range. So using JF-17 with 2 C-802A missiles & Mirage-Vs with a single Exocet missile will be much better than using F-16 with Penguin missile.

and if our F-16s already have capability to carry Harpoons then the question is do we have air launched block-II version available? and if yes will US allow us to use them on F-16s.
following link indicates that there were offered for Navy but does not confirm that they were delivered.

MK-3 must come close to IN flotilla to track them... lets not forget only navy alone got far superior Mig-29K and LCA on order..(45 migs, 46 LCA)... i am excluding Harriers...
