Since 2006 the a/c is been flown and have no issues so far, and a new airframe is always more reliable than a 30 year old airframe.... i'm not going to discuss the weapon package, avionics, EW, but there is nothing that subject F-16 match to current JF-17, other than more payload and combat radius.I am not taking anything away from the JF17, but one would be very naive to say that it has more "reliability."
I have mentioned of spares required next, to keep them airworthy, which no one is willing to discuss!
Ok, when it is done than we'll discuss this matter, now discussing it seems more like a paper marriage.As for your comment abount kamikazi nonsense, you are ill informed and the ADF F-16's are infact capable of being armed with AMRAAMs in tandem with their APG-66 radars.
And yes, if today 3 JF-17 are airborne vs. these 13 F-16... i would still say subject F-16 are on kamikazi mission.
