I would agree with you on this one. F-16 still is a very potent fighter. Its so modular in design that even after decades, it can still be upgraded to modern standards, although it has now reached its top.
But Pakistan was never offered the block60. Although in future, US might want to sell off its F16 to replace them with something better. But that would take another decade or so.
i thnk till then jf-17 technology will b matured enough that Paf will not need f-16 block60 currently analysts compare jf-17 roughly to f-16 block 30 and some to block40 thats on the basis of specifications available on different sources like offical PAC website or some chinese sources but no one knows the inside story plus it is also going further upgrades ,future french or improved chinese avionics will ultimately help to improve it alot also technology with maturity gets better and better
