The PAF still envisons the F16 as the definitive top line fighter your force will use for the days to come.Sir I have question if we are not going for J-10 B that means soon we would have only two kind of Fighter Jets that is F-16 and JF-17 and we need at least 450 Fighter Jets to counter India will these twos jets combined be close to 450 if not than we would need a third Air Craft
The JF17 is a poor man's viper that will fill the 2nd tier and will replace the antique mirage iii/Vs and the F7s.
If my assumptions are correct, it would go a long way in increasing maintainability across the board, and you should be happy. Howsoever you may dream, India wont attack pak in the coming decades and hence negates the need for tit for tat purchase to offset the mmrca. Later on when the j31 matures and if your finances allow, you may take that route..but i dont see the same for the next 8-10 years as PAF would be more busy in getting the JF17 is required quantities
