Pakistani F-16BM returning after smoking TTP hideouts, circa WoT. The same aircraft (Serial No. 84606) later smoked a Su-30MKI during Op Swift Retort in 2019.

Was recent too.After smoking "TTP hideouts" ? How do you know that info. Most strikes that are reported carried out in the night time or pre-dawn.
Morale of own forces should never go down.Against India, I agree job well done. But doesn't look good to use boasting statements against a mere terror group and especially when forces are unable to eliminate TTP top leadership till date. Same T's have "smoked" air-force's AWACs penetrating into all security and then did it all over again complete security breach in another airbase. I wonder given the resources available which party deserves making boasting statements.
would it be worth it for the PAF to buy these EW Pylons from Leonardo for its F-16s?

Also would be interesting to see if a laser defense system could be procured for the F-16. Then from this if Pakistan can co-develop/produce under licenses a system for the JF-17 and offer it on the Block 3, for potential export customers in Africa to have a fighter that withstand enemy MANPADs when doing the CAS mission.
Also, now that it’s been more than a decade along, looking into getting a Selex FOTD (Fiber Optic Towed Decoy) Ariel Mk. 2 similar to what is used on the Eurofighter should be looked into. Podded options should be easier to integrate and keep the F-16 viable. The experience from perhaps equipping 2 squadrons worth (36 aircraft) of the A/B planes could give data on how effective these kinds of upgrades could be if applied to the entire fleet of F-16s, JF-17s And J-10s, as well as what to look into for the J-31 and KAAN fighters.
