If Thunders were flying with experimental AESA in 2019, can we safely speculate that over half of the operational Thunders today have converted to AESA already??

Now how is it that this thread is so nicely moderated and looked over but the Turkish section just crashes and burns and nobody bats an eye?

I think you should introduce a little anarchy

Gorgeous, thank you!

No. That's just being too optimistic.

Such a beautiful photo of Block-1s. JF-17 block-1s were PAF's most lethal fighter jets when they were commissioned. These Block-1s introduced BVR capability to PAF for the first time. At that time F-16s were toothless in air to air combat as there was no AMRAAM and hence no BVR capability for those. Everyone is defence community used to rate JF-17 far above then F-16 and rightly so. Because BVR-less fighter does not pose a threat to the enemy in air-to-air campaign. Year 2010 added lot more muscle in PAF with advance F-16s, AMRAAMs, and more importantly force multipliers the AEW&C aircrafts.

I'd still rate JF-17 far above then our mighty F-16s because of most valuable item and that is "freedom". Kind of monitoring over F-16s and restrictions regarding integrations feels that aircraft is on rent and we do not own it completely despite paying the full amount.
