Don't know much about PAF vipers but, afaik HVKK F-16s are open for modification by TAI, strictly limited for the integration of national munitions/suites such as SOM family, precision guided ordnance, Peregrine IR and Merlin BVR AA missiles, SPEWS-II ew suite, and a new ew pod under development by Aselsan along with the AESA radar for F-16.
But I think your answer lies in the upgrades offered by the CCIP and how it differs from PAF specific Block 52. I know nothing about it, hence nothing to share . Would be great if TAI and Pakistan worked for AESA radars for PAF vipers as well.
I wish that was possible but considering our contact with the chinese for a significant portion of our fleet, that might not be possible.
They literally have people in some of our air bases for end user monitoring of their systems. Saw few jobs on LinkedIn for that role.
However, some of the Turkish weapons may find its way on JF-17 down the line.
