When PAF getting its remaining 14 F-16s from USA and also why not another 12 F-16s from Venezuelan Air Force - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia and may be more from Jordan too as they might be buying 80-120 EF-2000 with GCC support.

Also there are some other options too:
Chilean Air Force - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Royal Jordanian Air Force - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Portuguese Air Force - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Romanian Air Force - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Though USA has a huge fleet of F-16A/Bs so they can also sell 100s to PAF if they need to.

Sure no problem

Sure no problem

As most of these countries are now only interested in Russian or new EU/US weapons so F-16s might not be of their interest but PAF needs F-16s in good numbers.

You do realize that some of these F-16s are not equipped with the same engines PAF operates

Yeah! But PAF has the capability to make it the same by selling those and getting some from International market.

GE F-404 engines were the main engines designed for the -16 and -18. F110 was a modified version with much higher reliability and cheaper cost standards and was adopted as a better engine than F-100. It required one to two shop / basic visits every 1000 flying hours. The results and reliability was so impressive that even India negotiated for this engine for their LCA aircraft, after failing to produce a decent engine.

The F-404 was never used in production F-16s
In the beginning the US contemplated offering J-79 (of F-4 Phantom fame) powered F-16s in export orders because the F-100 was considered to sensitive a technology to export

The various blocks of F-16 alternate between the F-100 and F-110 variants. I think all versions of F-15 use the F-100 variants

Any development / time frame regarding procurement of F16s from 3rd party or USA?
