PAF pilot highlights how chinese J10C fighters has edged US F16's

[NGAD IS THE BEST]

Yes keep whatever F-16s we have and upgrade them. But do not buy anymore.

The days of relying on F-16s are over with these J-10Cs now.

Not still over, If USA agree to sell us brand new their latest Block 70/72 F-16to Pakistan, Its is far better J-10C (F-16 block 70/72 uses lot of techs from F-35 which is far far more advance than J-10C or J-35)

Okay you are right. But what makes you think USA will sell technology from F-35?

If we will get SABR upgrades to our F-16 then it is still better than J-10C (electronically)

Integrated battlefield with force multipliers works wonders for USAF i.e. F-16s with AWACs, EW platforms, and other support aircrafts. That's how USAF operates, not 1 vs 1.

Perhaps this illustration shows that we created an 'electronic blackhole', using ground based systems, from where the F-16s operated, to make use of their AMRAAMs at a closer range than PL-15Es......

However, why did not the F-16s engage even when they were closer to the eventually destroyed aircraft than the J-10s??

You cant convince the west worshippers here. They can't understand different eras belong to different powers. Time never stays the same. This and upcoming era belongs to china.

My friend, I agree but ditching a 70+ strong fleet of multi-role F-16s is also not an option.

The best we can do is to look for upgrades even as the force realigns itself around China's leading edge platforms.

Second, if Pakistan expands the J-10C fleet (I hear plans to grow it to approximately 70 aircraft), they can operate in escort role to our MR F-16s which still have the distinction of carrying the most significant air to surface, precision attack load out of any other aircraft in the PAF inventory.

This means more effective interdiction on the ground while taking advantage of J-10C's long stick.
