first of all SPEED is not the judging factorto which aircraft to buy second j series twin engin jet have been looked in to a countless times by PAF but we cant buy these goodies yet 1 we do not have the funds 2 PAF may not buy a jet india have experience with remembering its the same air frame more or less to SU 30 as the same thing happened whit F16 IN in MMRCA tender.Now decide F16, J10, J11, or J17

I believe Pakistan should go for J11B or J11S if offered, because J11 have maximum speed of 2500Km/h more than F16 and latest Indian Su-30MKI(max speed 2,120 km/h).Speed is also important factor Its ok Pak have F16s, But i can't see,there is any
reason to buy More f16 B52+. Not bad to rely on Jf17Block-ii, J11 and J10B in future. In current
scenario J10B is also awesome choice,Current F16s are still threat to india.
even if we jet these jets PAF in its current form will not use them they will be preffered for navy.
J 10b/FC 20 is already a good choice its nimble and loaded with tech with F16 it will do wonders and JF 17 is a growing sysetm and with good future and as we r not going to war any time soon i guss we shouls work slow and wise with these existing affordable programs.
