SubhanAllah! They have been upgraded just now with a PD Radar that will make the enemies shit their pants and you want them to upgrade to an AESA. The upgrade cost may well exceed million per pop x76 and may well and set the whole programme back by at least 3-5 yrs. So instead of having one established platform we will have none. There is no established example of block 15 with AESA which means Lockmart will charge you for the research and laugh all the way back to the bank . I can see a lot of the indianTop brass giving you a salute as well for this suggestion.
And by the by How do you propose we pay for this upgrade to AESA.
Little brother we need To keep our expectations realistic. F16s with AWACS will rock inspite of not having an AESA . We dont need fo fix that which is not broken. Believe me in the priority list PAF can do wonders wit the money that you are proposing to spend on AESA upgrade of F16s. I am sorry for the sarcasm above but it is to deter any such thoughts in future from another little brother.

dear sir , I am not a tech guy like u but believe me that even Ist block 60 of UAE when produced first time was idea of someone which was realised. Atleast Pak Block50 F16s should be upgraded with AESA (as we have only 18). Further u are convinced or not if we take cost factor then we should not go Submarines dealand stop dreaming for 5th Gen fighters as even FC31 will cost atleast 60 to 70Million USD. Further even 4-4.5 gen fighters of India shall be upgraded with AESA radars. Like Taliban in Afghanistan we can;t do wonders with shear bravery. Our martyred soldiers on Angoor Ada were brave but don't had Air defense weapons so they were bombed by Americans. We should remember that if we can spend millions on Metro projects then we should also have money to upgarde our areial assets. Please enlighten me how our AWACS shall be effective in Indian territory even they shall be vulnerable to long range AAMS of India.
Just closing ur eyes and denying hard facts can't help us . Please enlighten me what sort of Jamming Pods/EW suits our Mirages and PGs have.
Further we may go for relatively cheaper radars like in the past we did in JV with Italian Grifo series Radars.
Dear Sir may be we have budget constraints but if any unfortunate event happens say in next two to three years before limited availability of 5th Gen fighter like J31 to Pak then what we will do.

Look at Indian areail assets then reply please how unrealistic I am further I shall say that Pak should immediately acquire High altitude SAMs along with Passive Radars with Stealth detection capabilities.
