[Gryphon]

Foreign Minister Khawaja Asif has said that US blocked transfer of used Jordanian F-16s to Pakistan.

Watch after 1:19:00.

@Windjammer Any truth to this?

No he didn't say that. The person asking the question mentioned the F-16s and Khawaja Asif only responded to his question. He only re-iterated the narrative that F-16s proved useful in WoT and we used them without collateral damage.

Watch again. He says US asked Jordanians not to deliver the aircraft to Pakistan.

Just watched, he did. He says that the US blocked the sale of old f16s to Pakistan.

Oh sorry, I didn't consider the very first sentence of OP. What I meant to say, is that he didn't independently raise the issue of F-16 and kept to the usual narrative.

A setback for PAF, which wanted to replace the last F-7P squadron with these sixteen F-16 Block 40/42 aircraft.

That's good news actually. All the signs to divert towards a different type of aircraft from a reliable supplier and also invest in domestic aviation projects.

Jordan would not transfer or sell the F-16s to Pakistan without consent of USA

at $30 million price point F-16 is the best aircraft you can get
try ordering a Rafale or Typhoon or Su-35

Looks like another awesome interview by our FM haven't listened full interview but from 1:22:00 looks like the whole interview was like that!

Even turkey wanted pakistani pilots to train their pilots on their f-16's, U.S vetoed it even.
From where pakistan will get spare parts of f-16 during war ?

That is the main reason Pak's focus is to develop indigenous capabilities. JF17 doesn't yet compare to the F16 but it will soon and probably even surpass it in terms of avionics(in future blocks) for a cheaper price.
