63 F16s (18 block 52S) WILL GIVE iaf A HEADACHE but is not unsurmoutable (WAT YOU HAVE TODAY)
125 F16 (60 block 52) will give PAF air superiority at least over THEIR AIRS[PACE (WAT YOU NEED TODAY)
No F-16 block-52 carries anything as such as a IRST system. The picture is a Rafale which even the canopy dictates.
The only operational F-16 with an IRST is the UAE Block-60.
Didn't F-16 had boom type refueling?
It would be great it you could write to your local congressman and senator to push for itIn fact, I think PAF should procure F-16 B52's in larger numbers like you said

My local congressman doesn't decide who gets the F-16's. The foreign policy does. For once, I agree with Storm Force. LEARN how to communicate with the Americans in the language that they understand and it is built upon mutual trust and through establishing a good relationship.
You guys never had democracy prevail in your country. Result of that was that every dictator in power came to Washington and complained about its own people turning bad and how they would become a threat to others. That's how they got the aid, weapons, etc.
Now you guys do have a democratically elected government. What that means is that they should come to Washington and show the will to work as a partner with the Americans (and with the world). Once the West starts to see the intensity and the talibanization going away from the Pakistani society, I can't see why the F-16's which are really yesterday's technology for the US will be a problem.
PAF don't want US weaponary and in case of Block 52 the PAF is prefreing J-10 with no string attached and with AESW radar and comparable to 52 and cheaper……

The F-16's have nothing to do with Talibanizaition, they never did. Which means the wrong narrative gets sent back from CNN.
The F-16's are related with maintaining the balance with India, and congressional hearings prove that it is truly the case and nothing else.
Because at the end of the day, economics dictate US foreign policy(otherwise extremism and HR violations extends way beyond Pakistan in many other US allies). I seriously doubt that the US would be happy selling F-16's Free of strings...critical, wartime ..strings.

Wrong. PAF wants US weapons. It is the strings they don't want.
More F-16s would be good. We already operate them, so it wouldn't really hurt to increase the numbers.
The only problem would be that PAF might want to spend that money to get 3 times as much JF-17s than the F-16.

Acquire four squadrons of J-11's with J-16's avionics (as they are much more advanced). Later, bite the bullet one time and get the J-31X stealth planes a few squadrons. That makes it a very complete and strong air force. It also gives them air superiority over their own skies in a very big way
