Round trip2000km
I can see where you are coming from but I think you are being a bit optimistic. No way will $1 BN buy 100 F-16s, even if they are second hand, what about spares? Weapons? Training? The cost of raising related infrastructure? Buying a second hand fighter is not like buying a second hand banger- there are a lot of hidden costs. I mean India is spending $1BN and "only" getting 16 Naval helicopters (S-70Bs) for example.
And I have to wonder if getting second hand machines is really the best strategy for the PAF, yes it makes sense from a unit price point of view but what about life cycle costs? What about the penalty that all these birds will be towards the end of their service lives? In under a decade the PAF will be in just a big a mess but this time with hundreds of F-16s that need replacing urgently.
I actually think this is why the JF-17 was a good idea for the PAF- a very cheap fighter that the PAF could buy new and in relatively large numbers.
You really think the PAF can touch the east/south coast of India (where the IT hubs are)? This is sheer lunacy of the highest order. Not only would this almost certainly be one way ticket for all PAF birds,your birds don't have the range to fly from Pakistan and all the way across mainland India and how exactly do you think your birds will make it through Western and Central air commands without being detected/intercepted?
The biggest load of nonsense I have heard for a long, long time.
And you guys really think India and the world would just sit by and let you guys do this?

They won't even get past Punjab/Maharashtra.It will be a one way trip onlee towards the promised 72
Wawww...  please, tell us more....,

I think you can figure it out for yourself- the short legged fighters you posses coupled with the ADGE network the IAF has on their Western front and on top of that their fleet of advanced fighters deployed to foil any such attempt to breach Indian airspace.Wawww...  please, tell us more....
Nope...That looks impossible..  how?I think you can figure it out for yourself- the short legged fighters you posses coupled with the ADGE network the IAF has on their Western front and on top of that their fleet of advanced fighters deployed to foil any such attempt to breach Indian airspace.
What type of mentality is this??This is how we should dent their economy, drive investors and FDI out of there, regular attacks and bigger skrimishes would turn india into a hostile state.
How oh lord of technology? How??Everybody is talking about Su-30, Rafale, Mig-29, Mig-21, Mirage, Jags etc. Why are you people ignoring LCA Tejas? It might not be top notch fighter. IAF is inducting 50 of these jets[correct me if wrong] which can pose a serious threat to PAF.
Wawww...  please, tell us more....
No, are you kidding me?Look at the map Buddy.
Your planes could not even reach central India without Ariel refueling.
