TBT, I was not aware we had provided the Venezuelan Air Force with F-16s until reading the article on TWZ.

22 original. Now 3 active maybe.

Never saw a Canberra fly other than in old film footage. Only saw them in static displays.

PAF had a squadron of B-57s along with a RB-57 which was USAF loan for Recce purposes. Almost got shot down but returned to base safely. Sadly the Squadron was retired in the late 70s. Only dedicated bomber squadron PAF ever had.

Not that Pakistan ever really needed a bomber IMO. Could be wrong but the reality of a regional conflict, mostly with your eastern cousins and sometimes those 7th Century throwbacks to the NW, a multi-role platform such as the F-16 or JF-17 should more than suffice.

TBT, this was a detail I never noticed until coming across the article:

This is Most Produced Supersonic Fighter Aircraft in the World​

Among the many iconic supersonic fighter jets, the Mig-21 remains the most-produced one, although it has acquired the epithet of being a "flying coffin".

Only in India due to their poor maintenance and incompetence

Heavily modified Columbian Kfir C10 armed with Derby & Python 5 AAMs. Spice on center point and Litening pod and LGB on wingroot points. What PAF mirages ROSE IV should have been.
