The final batch of 6 Blk-52+ F-16s have landed at Shahbaz (Jacobabad) Airbase.
So according to my personal estimates following should be what the active inventory of the PAF ought to be looking like ...
Note:
Only those air-crafts which are primary active frontline combat platforms are included in this list. The transport, cargo, ELint, VIP and Dual/Tandem seat trainers, have not been included in the above list e.g. the C-130, Mashshak, T-33, T-37, K-8, FT-5, FT-7, FT-7PG, Mirage-IIID, Mirage-VD etc.
Active Primary Fighter.........QTY
F-16.........Blk-52+.......C......12
F-16.........Blk-52+.......D......06
F-16.........Blk-15 OCU A.......03
F-16.........Blk-15 OCU B.......11
F-16.........Blk-15........A.......21

Correction to the F-16 C/D Block-52 fleet. One F-16D Block-52 is currently being held back in the US for tests and evaluation cycle, as reported by Flight International mid-december issue. Pakistan Air Force has (17) F-16 C/D Block-52s, in country!
