How Pakistan counter F 16 Production US-India Deal
is Pakistan should buy an other 4th generation plane or wait for 5th generation FC-31???????? your thought
Well it's matter of concern for Pakistan. India is desperately looking for 4.5gen single engine fighter. And what could be better than F-16 block 70 which no one has bought yet. The most advance version even US is going to modify it's F-16 fleet to make them run until 2045.
Tejas doesn't bring what india was looking for so they're going for F-16 now. To replace it's ageing 250 Mig-21's. It won't give any quantitative edge but qualitative for sure.
We must take adequate steps to bring jf-17 tech near to F-16 block 60. Then we can engage with them easily because we are already going to make century we are moving ahead of "india" in replacing old aircrafts with new "State of the Art" jf-17 with time to time we'll upgrade all to block 3 standards then we don't need to worry of these F-16s.
We can counter these f-16s with jf-17s but the problem is to counter 36 rafales and 270 Su-30mki for that we desperately need su-35 now if not so Fc-31 for sure not less than 4 squadrons.
