ok we saw many j10 photos, is there any comparision with f16 vs j10 by PAF pilots? is it worth to have it or it was nessecity (by usa not giving f16)

There are two articles from the Second To None magazine that covers the J-10C’s capabilities pretty well. Engine has traditionally been a weakness of Chinese aircraft but Pakistanis pilots who have flown F-16s are impressed with the thrust and responsiveness, which is very telling. That is before you get into stuff like radar/avionics, weapons, and ease of maintenance.

Here it is:

The kick was bigger than the F-16. “There was an unbelievable amount of thrust when I opened up the afterburner for the first time. The J-10C can produce 29,000 lb thrust, which is 10,000 lbs excess thrust than the JF-17 produces, and as much power as two and a half Mirages put together. A single Mirage produces 14,000 lb thrust,” Sqn Ldr Jibran Rashid said. The speed increment was so fast that post-take-off procedures had to be executed in rapid succession to remain with the aircraft. "

The F-16 thrust is also around 29000 lbs. The comparison with the Mirages make sense.
