Why more F-16s?
Pakistan should have enhanced its local defence industry with the help of its Chinese friends so that in future no other nation uses us only at the time of its need and later dumps us. Prudence demands that you learn your lessons from history and mistakes made in the past. Unfortunately, we get temporarily blinded by the glamour of the west, the numerous trips we get to make to the US for training or procurement and tend to spurn the professional and hardcore attitude of our allies in the east, till we get rebuffed and ditched.
Why more F-16s?
Sorry but i saw it first time.nya aya hai bhai lagta hai ye viedeo dekh dekh ker to mery bal sufaid ho gai yaar.

See this.
It could be how it was set up or that the UK sent rookie Typhoon pilots to the Anatolian Eagle. The typhoon's avionics and maneuverability/performance is far beyond an F-16.
Anyway i found the video AE-09/2 Training
YouTube - ?????? Anatolian Eagle 09 2
Typhoons take off at 6:12 after the F-4s.
PAF was not in this one though. So unless it was part of the exchange program idk where else they would encounter typhoons.
AE-07/2 Training was the only one PAF and the UK both joined.
While I am not going to comment on the content of the interview, Italians have flown their "leased" F-16s against their own Typhoons. What they found out was that in low level profiles, the F-16 could handle the Typhoon well enough in close in combat, however at medium and higher altitudes, Typhoon's superior TWR helped. A couple of things to be mindful of is that Italians fly loaned A/Bs which are blk15 ADFs of the USAF and do not have the latest avionics nor updated queuing system and HOBS AAMs.
The point made was about DACT at close range. The USAF thinks it can handle the Typhoon in close in combat even with F-15s (which is less maneuverable than the F-16s) if equipped with JHMCS. Despite Typhoon's Captor PD radars range, its standoff reach is the same as what is available to any aircraft flying an AIM-120C5 class BVRAAM. At higher altitude, the Typhoon could very well maneuver into a more favorable position, but that is something that has to be exploited (at least the RAF pilots are fully capable of exploiting that as they get used to the type).
This all of course depends on the pilots as was the case with the SU-30MKIs at Red Flag. Typhoons can be exploited just like the F-16 can be exploited. The typhoon does have the overall advantage in a air to air engagement though.
Part of the advantage is due to TWR etc. If the F-16 finds the Typhoon in a close in situation at a favourable altitude, then the F-16 is at equal footing. This was the point of the Italians. Someone who knows about the strengths and weaknesses of both platforms (like the Italians) would ensure that Typhoon does not play to F-16's strength and on the other hand the F-16 pilot would try to ensure that the fight stays at an altitude where the F-16 has sufficient energy to keep up with the Typhoon.
Secondly, this is in the WVR arena, in BVR, I think the newer versions of F-16s with AIM-120C5s/Ds and updated radars would pose considerable challenge to the Typhoons.
Well the Block 60s would certainly be a threat anything below won't as Eurofighters will have Meteor integration which i would put above the AIM-120C version. Plus the CAESAR radar would rival and possibly pass up the AN/APG-80 AESA.
IF you give the same pilot the same flight hours in both aircraft he would end up being a bigger threat in the Eurofighter then the F-16.
The Typhoon is still a maturing platform so give it sometime.
