If PAF gets out of the F-16 then it can look toward the Typhoon. Pakistan make a deal with the Italians to provide not just EFT but also other needed equipment. This would not cost much because the delivery time could be extended till 5 -7 years.There is back up plan. But is involve F16 too ..............
We need to replace 12 Squadrons by 2020.
F16 will replace 2-4 of them.
And its better to hurry for schedule as there are no further options available..........
If say that 12 sqd are to be divided between JF-17 and EFT the cost of EFT would not be more that 8 billion for 6 sqd.
The rest can be Heli's for the Army, JF-17 Goodies and Naval ships the grand total would not be more the 20-billion Payable in 5 -7 years is around 3 - 4 billion. This is affordable.
