Indians attacked Pakistan in 1965 cowardly in the dark of night. We used all our weapons (regardless if procured from USA or elsewhere) against the enemy. Since then we have done the same at every single time when required. US knows that very well and has never objected to that. Now the US officials are rightly saying that these planes will be used only against terrorists. What is implicit in that is the terrorists are sitting across our eastern border too. Do you need any more proof after the arrest of RAW's terrorist Commander Kul Bhushon Jhadav? Indians don't really want to believe that.
Wrong information !!
India took, the fight to the Pakistani Soil, only when it was forced to do so, and not cowardly in an open declared manner. Infact, it was the PA which planned covert operation in Kashmir, which you can refer to a coward manner.
The US had equipped Pakistan with the top weapons at that time, and the quality of the weapons whether its the Patton Tanks, Long range artillery, or the Starfighter with A2A Sidewinger they were better than the Indian Centurian Tanks and Gnat, and Hunter who don't have any A2A missiles.
It was the Recce missions by the Indian Canberra Aircrafts, that took the photograph of the US equipment used against the India, which India provided to the USA, after which the US declared sanctions against the Pakistan.
As far as arrest of so called RAW terrorist, Kul Bhushan Jhadav or Yadav, its more for the internal consuption, and nobody in the world cares of the Pakistani allegation, nor Pakistan claims have so much weight. Indian what believes is that though RAW is not the best intelligence agency in the world, but they are not so idiots to send an agent with Indian Passport and other documents.
F16 A/B will may be replaced by following:
!-Su-35
2-J31/J20
3-Modern blocks Of JFT like non export version Jf 17 thunder Block 4.....
Pakistan is retiring 190 planes upto 2020 may be the f-16 A/B will be included in them as Pakistan looking for a suitable aircraft now a days.....!!!!
1. Su-35 -- When was Su-35 cleared for export to Pakistan by Russia.
2. J-20 is not available for export, not it is fully ready, J-31 is decades away to be ready, nor J-31 would be so cheap to replace F-16 A/B on 1 to 1 basis.
3. Which block -3 ? We still don't have the specs, and Block 4, there is no such block niether on the paper yet ?
So the Kill switch question arises again?
Lets talk serious. There is no such thing like kill switch, which can be activated remotely from USA, which will stop the F-16 to take off from the ground. However two things, which you can deny if you wish.
1. All F-16 are in the constant watch of the US with its technicians on the Pakistani bases, where they are deployed, in the name of checking the so called to stop tech stole by the Chinese. This is bullshit, because what tech. would China needs to theft from the F-16, when they already have so many projects working on the high tech weapons system for their own requirement. But the Technicians present on the Pakistani Bases are capable of deactivating various avionics to non functional if the need arises e.g the Programmable DRICM which could be kept in the hands of the US technicians and if ordered from US higher authority, the technicians might disable the equipment, which will barred them to function.
2. The USA might have installed a bug, inside the F-16 inside avionics, weapons through which USA would monitor each and every flight and the location. Cannot state, what would be the US steps later on during the war, or if F-16 is used against India, reason because the US actions are only based on its own interest and they can make thousands logic to back up their actions.
