Now China, Russia and North Korea with Iran can be easily bomb with these and also Air interdiction missions can be easily planned on these countries too.

So what is the possibility that US will going to use these F-16s Block-15,20,25,30&40, F-15A,B,C&D and F-18A,B,C&Ds for Multirole missions against Iran, Syria and North Korea....

I think its a good idea to convert the next gen stealth fighter program into a Advanced UAV program.

That we we can use PAF FA to address the current need and we can skip a generation and focus on moving from LCA to Advanced UAV

You can't exactly do what you are saying bro. Advance jets, specially stealthy ones, would cost $ 50+ million to $ 120 million per piece in other countries outside of the US. And the cost will depend upon "how real stealthy and modern" they really are. You can't afford to take a $ 50 million drone and fly it remotey. Defeats the cost purpose.

The -16's here were stored / retired. Retro fitting these aircrafts and then refurbishing them isn't that expensive. I'd imagine it would cost less then $ 15 million per plane and you have one of the most versatile and maneuverable fighter platform as an adversary to test your ACM skills with. Can't get any more real than this. Hats off to Boeing and the boys in the US military in getting this done!
