**LOL, Pakistanis critcize IAF’s MIG-21s eventhough some of their aircrafts (Nanchang A-5) are even worse than that. Except 10 JF-17 and 44 F-16A/B none of your aircrafts are more capable than MIG-21. Now, who will take care of IAF’s 80+ Su-30MKIs, 39 Dassault Mirages 2000 , 56 MiG-29s, 114 Jaguars, 120 MiG-27s and 20 MiG-23s.
