Pakistan is desperately increasing its F-16s fleet buying used from Jordon ....
We need mdeium multirole fighter Rafale project will take another 5 years to make one squad ..mean time its just a thought why shouldnt we buy used Mig s 29 from russia or other (not very old one) convert into UPg it can can be quick good replacement for Jaguar (Darin 3 is in trouble waters)and Mig-27,,tejas mk1 and mk2 will take care of mig 21s


just a thought (looking at the way chinese and pakistanis are augmenting their air fleet...)

mig 29 as far as I know is an interceptor
.
rafalewill be situated along chinese border
.
to counter pakistan mig29, tejas mk1 is all we need cause tejas is superior to f16 and jf17 an easy kill to tejas

the upgraded Mirages and mig 29 which will be SMT standard is more than enough and remember we also have the cutting edge 45 Mig 29k so far we are good against Pakis but like you said we need more if we have to face the chinese

to counter china we have su30mki,rafale , tejas mk1 and mk2
.
su30mki are better than every chinese plane right now
.
rafale, and tejas1 and 2 with aesa and very less rcs are also superior to all chinese fighter as there is only one or two aesa radar fighter in chinese air force
