Wanted to know what is the percentage of availabilities of pak fighter aircrafts at any given point of time. Hope it's not a silly question.
between 70 to 80%

And you are the keeper of our inventory?? Please prove how you have come to this wonderful decision.Well that's very high when more than 60 percent of your F16 don't have spares to fly.
Well Jane defence website says that.
There will never be an advantage in numbers or even technology for PAF. The adversary has more buying power and will continue to field better hardware. However war is not JUST about better hardware. It is multi faceted and involves training and discipline of personnel. What we have continues to provide us a critical deterrent value which makes an incursion so expensive that the victory at the end would not be worth the effort.
We cannot and must not engage with India on numbers game. However we can only improve the quality of our personnel and armaments as they become available to us.

No brother, just spreading your good word as I believe you, oscar, and bilalkhan777 would be the experts in these matters.
Sorry if it seemed otherwise.

SkyFlash A2A Missile carried on station 5L (door mounted pylon). SkyFlash had range of 45km and was discontinued in favour of AIM-120. It was derived from Aim-7. View attachment 358668 .
Aim-7 Sparrow carried on station 5R (door mounted pylon). Looks centre line in first glance. It also seems from pic that an A2A missile has been fired which could be an Aim-7 on station 5L..... guess work only.View attachment 358669
Good find, concern is using stations 5R and 5L.

It would be interesting if PAF has experimented using these stations for Aim-9 apart from pod installation. If Aim-7 launcher could fit on them then probably Aim-9 launchers could fit too. Lots of factors involved.
This would make F-16 capable of carrying 8 missiles instead of 6.
