I have a question, please ignore it if you find it too stupid.
I have rarely ever seen our fighters loaded with weapons specially air to air. All i see is those drop tanks. So my question is if PAF keeps most of its fighter jets in this position, how exactly would they then scramble to intercept an intruding plane?

At any time a couple of fighters are placed ready for an air defence alert, either in an HAS or on the apron. What you see here is the flight line, aircraft may be going under maintenance, system check up or even being prepared for an exercise sortie.
Below is an old image of an F-16 on ADA based in Kamra.

The ones serving the ADA are hardly pictured. We have some pictures, ages old, of F-16s with yellow stripped AIM-9 x 4 in hangars.

It is better to renovate the F-16's under the guidance of the sole maker.... The US have time and again improved the F-16's in in its arsenal and worldwide to its optimum level. It is a good decision to give the jets to the US......

It is not a house that needs to be "renovated".
The correct term is "upgrade".

Even though u indians claim to be a english speaking country but the simple fact is that the over whelming majority of u indians speak horrible english and have no grammatical sense and even worse ur choice of words is simply horrible.

I used to see those good old F-6s couple of those silver color at the Runway end at Samsungli Air Base always ready.

my father mentions that (way back from the 70's and 80's), when the tensions between pak-India escalate, the pilots on ADA were sitting in their cockpits with a umbrella up top, and sitting there reading magazines to kill time!
