    Following the recent war games where, according to Pakistan, the Chinese fighters comprehensively outperformed the F-16, looks like Pakistan is investing more heavily in Chinese aircraft.

        No joke, 50th anniversary of the first F16 flight is coming up very soon.

        Granted the guts of that plane have been upgraded over and over, but still.

        It’s justifying their purchase of the Next-generation Chinese jet, so I’ll let you decide.
