I highly suspicious about the effectiveness of Those bought weapon , the current sortie rate of S30MKI is below 55%?!Why should we? We have an independent foreign policy, and we want our weapons supplied at crucial stages without sanctions. Can US guarantee that? Nope. That's why we are banking on Rafale, an aircraft with less US components.
Second, we wont have gone for F16 (now) even if US was friendly. Our main strategy rolls on twin engine fighters, maybe most probably F15 or F18.
During the 1980's, if the US had offered India, the F16, IAF would have goppled that with open mouth's. The geopolitical situation was different then. Now we have aircrafts more advanced than F16 available.
The difference now is , we can choose dishes from the menu.
If Pakistan have war with India, the F16 is consuming at incredible speed. PAF asks for more F16 or components but USA deny it. PAF ask China for J10c for replenishment ,and the PAF pilots don't even know how to fly it. Has anyone even thought about it? You shall at least got a back up plan?! For god sake.
Pakistan lacks strategy planning, that's it.
Chasing for F16 is filling the gap, it don't fit the long term plan. You bet your stake in Yankee, you will be pathetic in the end. Just refer to the Chinese USA relationship in the 1980s, they throw you into garbage bin if your are not useful anymore.
My suggestion is that PAF inducts 36 J10c and ask every elite pilots fly it. If a break out , they can fly J10c to kill enemy anytime they receive the plane.
You need a back up plan, that's very important. Strategy planning is always on the top priority.
I'm not here to promote J10c, I'm very worry about Paksitan's situation as a close friend to you. Really worries!
JF17 can't replace the role of J10c, be it in range , payload, aerodynamics, EW, avionics.
That's my last post in this thread, period!
