Hi,This is why the F16 is the daddy as far as large payloads go - compared to the other PAF aircraft like the JF17, J10CE, Mirages etc... nothing else can pack a payload like the F16 can for the PAF currently.
Why were Vipers transferred from #14 squadron in the first place?? Couldn't #11 squadron have been equipped with F-7s instead??.,,.
No.14 Squadron “ Shaheens “ Currently known as No.14 “ Tail Choppers “.
Squadron was equipped with F-16 in 1983, No.14 F-16s saw action against Soviet and Afghan intruders during soviet afghan war. No.14 F-16s were replaced with F-7Ps in 1993, F-16 airframes were transferred to No.11 Sqd.
In 2017 No.14’s F-7Ps were replaced by JF-17 Block-2s. Picture F-16B #82601 was one of the No.14 airframes currently serving in No.11.

It had more do with their traditional locations, roles, operational tasks, already in place logistic and maintenance infrastructure.Why were Vipers transferred from #14 squadron in the first place?? Couldn't #11 squadron have been equipped with F-7s instead??
