Ident get what you are trying to say
I am saying that what you wrote earlier isn't applicable in planet earth as I know it. AMRAAMs AIM-120C are not useless at all. Secondly, indian EW has not reached to a point that it can jam PAF F-16s. SU-30s avionics and their air to air missiles are definitely inferior to F-16s / Amraams. It will take them a long time if they go ahead with their upgrade plan for Sukhois and even then how capable will it get is another debate. I thought your post is sarcastic that you said our old F-16s are obsolete.
Remember, we still fly 100s of 2nd & 3rd gen fighters. The F-16s (even older versions) are very potent platforms still.
As far as F-16 block 70s are concerned, do understand that Pakistan will NEVER get those. US is now very selective to countries that it will give military capabilities. Even NATO member like Turkey is doing rounds and rounds of talks and lobbying to get Block 70s.
IMO, We have to be very satisfied what PAF is today given our extremely weak economic condition. PAF have come a long way. Remember 10-12 years ago we even didn't had BVR capability, we didn't had AEW&Cs, We didn't had aerial fuel tankers. The whole Jf-17 fleet, F-16 block 52s, J-10Cs, AWACS, fuel tankers all arrived in very short duration. Last one decade is total transformation already.
We will gradually see JF-17s IIIs further added (10-12 per year) and maybe more J-10Cs towards the end of this decade. This is the only scenario that I see for PAF. So be happy what we already got and don't expect any other platforms like block 70s or else.
