That too, but in the safety of your own airspace, the air fuellers can be called to top up your tanks.
We dont have refuelers which can support the F-16's.

Khan Sahib you may be right but as per wiki we ordered 40 orignaly and we lost 8 so
32 old ones
14 at no cost old ones as per wiki
18 block 52 Received 18 Optional
14 Ordered in 2010 from option as per wiki.
78
wikipedia is not that accurate and we never ordered additional 14.
We have been asking the older 14 ones out of the embargoed 28 i believe against which we got wheat and soybean i believe.

Not for the F16 though, since PAF don't has refuellers with boom refuelling system!
14 are from those which were embargoed and never delivered and PAF bought 18 blk52 with the optional of another 18.as mentioned time and again we currently have 63 with possibility to get further 14, if our relationship goes good with US

So it means we can still get 14+ 18 = 32 F16s if relation improves.
Don't know sir it is all confusing. If you go f16.net you would get a different story then 63, around 80 to 100 closer to what wiki and globalsecurity.org are projecting. I also googled this question "how many F-16 Pakistan have and got the answer to I believe 84.

63 are confirmed. As per my knowledge, provided to me by a journalist whose been to Jacobabad, ground control crew and confirmed by a Wing Commander, on a different squadron though, PAF has 36 Block-52+. No one believes it though. I was given information of the newer 18s few months before their delivery.
That raises the number to 81.
dear sir
its 100s times we clear it here but still we have to do it again .
we got 40 between 1983 to 1989
8 of them lost crashed till 2005
remain 32 we have in 2005
we got 14 used in 2007
32+14 = 46
one we lost at 16th July 2009 sqn leader ghulam nabi was killed
we have 45 at 2009
we got 18 block-52 between these times so we have now
45+18 = 63
we have 63 and that's it if someone give me a single real time other delivery he will be my teacher forever
fan boys here create more numbers in dreams and enjoy it but in real we have 63 f-16 today .
and here is data of 9 crashes of PAF F-16s since 1983
List being compiled
63 are confirmed. As per my knowledge, provided to me by a journalist whose been to Jacobabad, ground control crew and confirmed by a Wing Commander, on a different squadron though, PAF has 36 Block-52+.

Very true ... that could be said for the older vipers A/B's but the new 18 blk 52's C/D's have cft for long range strike missions.
How did the numbers rise to 81? There were 63 F-16s accounted for. the Original 32 + 14 from EDA + 18 BLK52s. That gives 64, less 1 lost, so 63.
If we got another 18, secretly (which i don't believe) that makes it 81 but only if we got them. Now, unless PAF made a deal with USA before bin laden raid otherwise there is no mention of second batch of 18 f-16s.
