PAF pilot highlights how chinese J10C fighters have left US F16's Obsolete

[MMM-E]

You just can't claim that Turkish F-16s will have a better chance than India's Rafales. Rafales had their EW suites (SPECTRA) and India had its EW / AWACS flying. They weren't going to attack blindly. Atleast Rafales are 4.5 gen, AESA equipped, can carry decent AAMs. I don't think Turkey has anything closer and yet you claim that Turkish airforce will have different results ? On what basis?

SPECTRA is not a strategic system
Its an EW Suite as like Turkish SPEWS-II on the F-16s

what a game-changer Systems are here ? Jammer Aircraft and Unmanned stealth Fighter Jets with AESA Radar

-- ASOJ-23A Jammer Aircraft ( USA , Turkiye , Russia , China , soon Israel )
-- KIZILELMA and ANKA-3 unmanned stealth Jets ( USA and Turkiye in NATO )

India does not possess these technologies.

Converting them to drones is a possibility however that would require money, effort and considerable expertise. It may be cheaper and better to buy remotely piloted or autonomous drones off the shelf.

Converting some of the F7/Mirages into remotely piloted drones for special missions may be the only use-case that could be justifiable.

From a technical standpoint, converting F7s or Mirages into unmanned aircraft presents absolutely no issues. This is not high-end technology.

But......

This approach is not suitable for Pakistan. Converting these aging fighter jets into unmanned aerial vehicles is not cost-effective. If Pakistan has no better alternative, then there is nothing wrong with doing so. But in fact, Pakistan has many other, better options.

Of course, modifying a few of the fighter jets for experimental or other special purposes is a different matter.
