F16 are great additions.
BUT the threat of sanctions at any given moment is a CLOUD over your heads that will never go away
in 1999 AT THE HEIGHT of KARGIL war when indian Mirage2000 & Jaguar fighters where bombing NLI the ACM of PAF confirmed to Mushraff that if the Indians crossed THE LOC and escalated the war PAF had only
13 operational F16 out of 32 PLANES.
and they could not stand up to MIG29 MIRAGE2000
so rejoice and demand USA fighters but you will never be guaranteed the spares and maintenance that other nations like
Japan
Israel
South Korea
Taiwan
Nato
countries enjoy
F16 is PAF TRUMP CARD and ACHILLIES HEEL rolled into one AND THE INDIANS KNOW THIS
That will also apply to your Apaches, Boeing Poseidon craft etc.
