PAF Fizayah procurement blunders

in your opinion what errors did PAF high command make in procuring jet fighters

for me

1-supermarine attacker ! worthless straight wing plane

2- Not buying Mirage F-1 when hopes for getting F-16 evaporated in late 80s
it not as good as 2000, but cheaper and definately a match for GCI-less mig-29 of IAF

3-not setting up a mirage building factory in late 60s in cooperation with Iran [ when the shah offered it]

4-Buying F-104 , instead shud have bought F-100 super sabre , a grt plane not as fast as f-104 , but better range,payload and air combat capabilities

5-backing the afghan bandits in the 80s which resulted in very bad relations with USSR and hence no chance of getting mig-29/su-27 in post-cold war era
