Well it depends on our services in WOT.... More we play the role the better is the chance of getting these F16's.

Pak capable to stall drones’ strikes: Air chief

Updated at: 1437 PST, Tuesday, November 25, 2008

KARACHI: Chief of the Air Staff, Air Chief Marshall, Tanvir Mahmood has said that Pakistan Air Force is fully capable to stop drones’ flights and missile strikes.

He said that it was now up to the government to decide whether it wanted to benefit from our capabilities or ready to fight a war with the aggressors.

Air Chief Marshall made these remarks, while speaking to newsmen during IDEAS 2008 defence equipments exhibition at the Expo Center in Karachi.

He said most of the fighter aircrafts of Pakistan Air Force would reach to their life in next few years after which JF-17 thunder fighters would be added to fill the gap.

The fighter jets of Pakistan Air Force are fully capable to carry all warheads, he commented

Its not the fault of PAF nor the incapability of its falcon fleet for not being able to stop drone attacks. Its a political decision in the end, US has the self interest in hunting Taliban (Not TTP necessarily) and AFAIK, they do inform Pakistan Government before entering Pakistani Airspace (i went through an article on that cant recall it exactly right now but remember the crux). As long as US sees Taliban coming to Tribal areas, She will keep pursuing them. Pakistani Government though remains silent on the issue, but the fact is that all these drone attacks only happen with permission of Pakistan Goverment.

Imran ... Boss it is one of the most proven platforms in the world sorry bro .. i have to disagree with you on this.. the aircraft does not have a mind of its own alright it is a awsome aircraft and feared by many speically the ones that are very close to our home but anyhow it is the damn courpt gov whom does not allow for our Airforce and air defence's to shot down these damn drones so where is the fault of this aircraft i rest my case ...
