There is no kill switch on PAF's F-16s to stop them dead in their tracks, however there are many other ways to disable PAF to use them to their full potential:

The way that jet bursts through the cloud making a ring around it is just gorgeous.

Any chance of PAF picking up the 20 odd F-16s from Venezuela? The US would thank them for taking away key US technology from Venezuelan hands. These would fit PAF perfectly.

PAF is interested in western countries' F-16s.

The F.16s used by European nations were all upgraded to MLU standard back in the 90's,they have been kept in a very good condition but sadly don't have much hours of service left.
Those aircraft would need something in the line of SLEP to stay in service for another decade or two.

PAF won't get anything used from US until she won't procure new ones along Trump rule. What profit US will get from thrid party sale??? Why not sell them brand new where profit is???After COVID Pak is in better place to negotiate with US a good deal for defence procurement also sweeten the deal with PIA too.

Nope. Venezuela loves their Vipers and are trying to maintain them as much as they can via the black market.

It's worth a try to buy them. Don't knock 'em till you try 'em.

USA will block the sale. A few Block 32/42s from the Boneyard would be better both in terms of cost and longevity.
