its not Page's analysis that you should be thinking about, but the original report from Pakistan
Read the whole series of comments the pilot is supposed to have said, and you realise its all BS. For instance the claim that on the F-16s supplied to Pakistan, each electronic component has a "digital seal" (whats one of them?) which triggers an alarm back in the USA when opened... and that each one has a tracking bug inside to prevent diversion to China.
Hows that going to work? First the technology sounds pretty unlikely, and also pretty easy to defeat - besides being a potential liability in combat
