Sorry, Reza. I’m not into this subject. But I assure you Pakistan does have its Technology
I really don’t have any idea about it that America stopped supplying us F-16 because Weapons of Mass Destruction. As far as I know, it is confirm that Pakistani Scientists have made bombs with platinium, which makes destruction alot. Furthermore, Pakistan also does produces 93.3% of Uranium, which is the main of Nuclear Weapons
Sorry, no idea about it. Because Isreal could have changed that. In other words, Isreal does have nuclear weapons and they are an undelcared Nuclear nation.
Pakistan has already qualified to maintain and upgrade its own version of weapons. Two or three weeks later, I’ve opened a thread
regarding Malaysia sendings its Arm weapons to Pakistan in order to get upgrade. I don’t know how to get previous threads of the GupShup. If you do know, tell me.

Supplies stopped because of the nuclear issues - there is virtually no pressure on Pakistan to stop missile proliferation.
The technology is very different between Pakistani and Israeli F-16s becase Pakistani planes have early-80s technology, where Israeli F-16s (and all their other planes) regularly get their avionics replaced with the latest American and Israeli technologies.
The result is that Pakistani F-16s are capable of using weapons that are very crude compared to what Israeli F-16s can use.
For example, in terms of Beyond-Visual-Range missiles, Pakistani F-16s can only use the AIM-7 Sparrow, an obsolete missile from the 60s and early 70s, which needs the F-16 to be constantly pointing at the target from launch to impact. Furthermore, the Sparrow is relatively easy to jam.
In contrast, Israeli F-16s can use the AIM-120 AMRAAM Beyond-Visual-Range missile. Not only is this faster, longer-ranged and more maneuverable than the AIM-7, but once fired the launch aircraft is free to maneuver - you don't need to keep pointing at the enemy. The AMRAAM is also much harder to jam.
Pakistani and Israeli F-16s can only truly be considered equal once the combat range is closed to under 5 kilometres and the planes start dogfighting - a field where Pakistan has a historical edge over Israel.
Pakistani pilots have shot down 5 Israelis in dogfights, in planes inferior to those of the Israelis.
In contrast, Israel has never managed to shoot down a single Pakistani.
