Yes we had quality but we had only 32 F16 block 15 without BVR capability (Sparrows were given but our f16 were never hardwired to fire them)..... IAF got that with Mig 23 in 80's..... plus Su27-30 started coming in plus they had mirages.....cant match IAF in quantity, But till 2005, PAF always enjoyed quality edge over all IAF jets, as till 2005, F-16 was our main fighter jet, and Mig 29 for India. All knows F16 much better than Mig29.
But now Indian enjoyed advantage in both quality and quantity, which is not good for Pakistan
what i believe is that PAF has done a commendable job in last 15 years to bridge the gap and improve..... i wont say we edge over IAF but we have parity with them now...... probably a 5th gen might give us an edge
I dont think we will get block 70's and that to with FMF or FMS...... US will always offer commercial channelsWhatever the truth, it's making the news again.
