Hi,
Nations defense equipment and major weapons are not " managed like that ".
Desperate times require desperate measures. Perhaps PAF has done somethings to manage in the past during sanctions shall do same in future if required. I humbly say u may be right in general terms but not in case of Pak
Yes you are right in many ways F16 and J10 are more or less equal in offering probably F16 with more mature platform is half a step a head ,for me the capability of F16 is irrelevant in terms of sanctions and personally i like them to be replaced as early as possible in the meantime delta replaces delta . Mirages are bound to be replace and J10 with dedicated Cruise missile and SOW would be great addition , J10 and Jf17 if share common instruments it will be great for us
Sir, if we go for tailor made J10D then it makes sense shall be understandably better then JF17 due to heavier engine more space etc but should be ahead of our Block 52 F16s then it will have worth to be inducted.
But due to limited resources perhaps its better to concentrate on increasing pace of block3 Jf17 induction as well as try to get FC31 if possible in medium term to cater IAF 4.5+ jets in huge numbers. One are people negate is that IAF already using latest BVRs and WVRs meanwhile our A2A missiles are at least a generation behind.
