Now coming to think about it, what if PAF didn't opt for JF-17 Thunder? New F-16s or even an upgrade on the original 32 F-16s were no where in sight.
Really glad how it played out and how effective JF-17 Thunder has been so far not just helping Pakistan Air Force cover the technology gap but maintenance too, looking at the current situation of the economy.
Any idea what would PAF be like, if the PAF didn't opt for JF-17 Thunder?
Mirage 2000?

Options would have been limited to perhaps instead getting the 18 other F16 C/D block 50 or instead opting for Rafale or Gripen; those were being looked at, before it was decided to go ahead with Thunder program
Thunder program just made so much sense
"more for less" + no risk of embargo or politics to get in the way -
