Yeah the JF-17s will be much more capable then Pak's mirages... no point getting old F-16s.
Well there is no point in buying the same Variant of F-16. IF you have to buy an F-16 buy block 60 & I think PAF would be thinking of F-16 Block 60, this might give PAF edge over India's Mirage2000-5 but PAF still maintains the room to counter SU-30.
But there is one thing we r not taking in accord. I think this ACM doesnt like F-16s. Every time press asks him abt F-16s he ends up saying "lets buy some thing else, may be F-18" He has said this jokingly twice now. Some What Humor, may be he is serious. But if u r not gettin F-16s how r u going to get F-18. He also visited Belgiun F-16s some time ago, he found them in good shape but ignores to comment much except tht we want approval from USA. Mostly he ignores. MAY BE HE REALY DISLIKES F-16s.
May be he favors JF-17s upgrade equalent to Block 60 than just buying Block 60.
