That's why I am saying that we should sell most of our F-16 junks and unreliable now

I don't that is a good idea. The F16s can beat every single aircraft in the IAF except for the Rafales. They are still current and nothing can beat the F16 for overall payload capabilities, not even the J10CE.

Same F-16s that still have an impressively high availability rate and were used extensively during the recent operations in Afghanistan, OP Ghazab-lil-Haq. Vipers are still capable strike fighters and can carry more combat payload compared to other fighters in our inventory. What are you going to replace 75 airframes with in a swift manner? When F-7s and Mirages have not been retired yet. Also in comparison to IAF, Viper is still capable against what the eastern adversary has to offer

The F-16 fighters are going to serve for many years to come.

Pakistan’s F-16 fleet is widely assessed to possess nuclear deliverability. That says something.

I am curious, if these current J-10CE pilots were among the first batch which landed, are they identifiable in any older photos or videos, the first OC wasn't seen latter other than the first time he brought these jets home.....

Even though Chishti sb argued that F-16s did not fire because of being outranged , the official depiction shows a flight closer and squeezed right on the middle amid all the destroyed IAF fighters.

Anyway, without significant upgrades, Viper is good for air defence/OCA only against Indians, but faced with Meteor even that role is diminished.
