I think Indonesia's interest is collaborative training for the J10CE, and not JF17C procurement. With J10CE, Rafales, KF21, Kaan, and potentially also the F15EX(F-15IDN), there is no space for another procurement, and one that is short ranged. Indonesia is quite distributed as a country so range and persistence is important to them.

Personally I'm against extensions. It basically deflates and demoralises the next in line who work their whole careers to get to this stage. They will probably resign.

Most senior should automatically become the Chief, Politicians picking and choosing from a list is a coroupt practice.

i said this before too but ill be VERY surprised if the PAF does not induct a proper twin seat fighter, the PAF needs something capable of being a 'command post' for UCAV's, esp considering we might see many new loyal wingmen designs at ideas, not the JF17, nor the J-10, nor the j-35 can do it in its current form... but who can?

You know, PAF wants to build JF-17 at home and wean off china (sorta), why we dont have airbus invest funds and provide assistance in a PFX...i will wonder. Heck, even last night i was thinking, imagine PAF super hornet-ifying the JF-17, but with Airbus, with them investing part of a contract value back in (like how they wanted to with Korea)... just a thought really.

Anyway, we have so many fighters needed before we consider the next gen. PAF might be the only force operating 3rd and 5th gen fighters in the same fleet,..?

Arent rokaf still operating f-4/5s nominally

What if the "most senior" got to the top level through corruption, intimidation, foul play, etc

Failure of Institution, lone ranger rising to the top after beating the system for almost 30 years....
like minded people ...after Brig.

Political differences and involvement in POlitics by both parties is the root cause of the example you stated.

PM picking and choosing by ignoring the seniority is the main reason, top Generals get coroupt and involve in politics to please PM and become their chosen onece.

My POV only, which I think is based on common sense, logoc and ground realities....
You can ignore all the above and stick to your POV. Mubarak ho.

A2G bomb truck? Doesn't sound useful unless its for TTP.

What stand off weaponry do Pakistani F-16s have? The most I have ever seen is AGM-65 Maverick on the old defpk site. Not sure if that was a photoshop.
