Can somebody explain to me, why a country like Pakistan with its own fighter jet can't modernize American made F16 fighters?

Hi,
Pakistani F16 BLK52---electronicall and performance wise---it is an extremely advanced aircraft---.
Pakistan does not have the capability.
Because of two reasons;
US permission
But MLU kits are produced and not produced... it's merely assembling that's undertaken by TAI.
And I'm sure if we can upgrade the mirages with extensive ROSE projects,similiar can be done to the F-16s, although that would require US permission and perhaps a new set up to cater for the F-16s.
Which Turkey has due to US Lockheed & TAI association.

That's not the reason, rather that the Yankees don't want anyone touching or tweaking their tchnology.
Ask Israelis when they were not allowed to install elta 2032s in their soufas due to the latter having better SAR and ISAR modes.
if allowed, AMF can readily swap in a better cockpit interface, rwr (alq500 is leaps and bounds better than Vipers current rwr) and link 17 real-time datalink at least.
That is true; Atlas was working very closely with IAI on Lavi design - that was going to be joint fighter for both IAF and SAAF; unfortunately Americans played the isreali govt and they canned the program. Lavi lives on still in J10; many of the avionics and systems were brought into the cheetah program while the work was going on. At atlas we had bought over Nesher which were upgraded with the Lavi systems for testing; these 5 were also reworked into Cheetahs.Israel walked away from the lavi cus of american pressure, and military aid to buy U.S war planes.
It time we started thinking abot 20 inch Information display units in fighter Jets
The aselan product is still good but it will have to be a new Product which is developed
But world is moving towards bigger display pannels / Touch screen
While the Mirage / F7P upgrades were good for the 90's however clearly time has moved on with newer advancement in screen size, brighter more engaging color monitors and touch screen
