my opinion is that instead of wasting money on upgrading the older f-16s .. we should prefer on mass producing the jf-17 thunder aircraft. the f-16s acquired in 1983 can be used for the next 15-20 years.

That is to say if we can get it numbers , if the supply chain will not be restricted -- and guess what F22 is also superior to J10, you really want to put the defense of Pakistan dependent on some American lobby group?
Lets first have correct and good relations founded on mutual commercial interest - there is neither trust nor any love lost between US and Pakistan, but they can still inflict injury to each other and themselves - best to be circumspect and never again allow ourselves deeper entanglements with the two faced US policy - BTW, wikileaks diplomatic documents should provide a wealth of information to refute the notion that US is duplicitous, all are encouraged to download the data directly and read that traffic - don't let the corporate media spin this you - read the data and decide for yourself.
In the meantime, Pakistan have a super trustworthy supplier and just as importantly , a partner, in China. And God helps those who help themselves, doesn't experience suggest this?
Guys there is some discrepancy regarding the number of Block-52s that have been supplied to the PAF. According to the latest issue of AFM, a further nine F-16C/D Block52+ have been delivered. Three comprising F-16Cs 10903, 10904 and 10906 flew into Shahbaz on October 30.
The initial aircraft comprising F-16C 10902 plus F-16Ds 10804 and 10805 arrived on June 26. The second batch due for delivery in August were kept in the US due to the floods, while those already delivered were temporarily flown out to PAF Base Samungli, Quetta as a precaution. A further six aircraft (F-16D 10803 PLUS F-16Cs 10904, 10907, 10908, 10909 and 10910) arrived at Shahbaz on November 20. The remaining are scheduled to arrive by the year-end.
this is correct - the media dosnt get 'wind' of everything all the time.
^^
so what will be the total number of F-16's by the year end ?
