PAF Future Acquisition Plans

[CynicalPakistaniCritic]

Yes for sure - stupid me - I always forget to admit in shame that you have been correct all the years! In my stupid blindness I usually forget the 12 JH-7A flying for the Pakistan Naval Air Arm you claimed since yearsy, the 6 original British Eurofighters, the squadron flying J-16 and the other one with J-20 ... and how could I be so ignorant to forget that after the Liaoning was handed over to the PN - accompanied by the two Type 055 DDGs - there are now also 30 J-15 in naval colours!

You are correct! I was also wrong to agree with your claim, the JF-17s are powered by an Italian engine, can use US AMRAAM AAMs and feature fuel tanks in the cockpit walls since these are painted green!

indeed you are such a Master As such I admit, we'll see not onyl the J-31 in PAF colours long before the PLN has its own first J-35, but even more the H-20 will be introduced first in Pakistan!

Please don't get into pointless arguments with known trolls. You are an established member of this space with good credibility, why argue with people who even the locals here tend to not take seriously?

Hi,

Son---good old american saying---show the left---hit with the right---. We got what we wanted and will get some more from china---and that too free of cost---.

It will happen 'spy boy'---it will happen---like it happened with the J10's---054's and then the 8 subs in build phase---.

H-20 is not needed and. I am waiting for J-31 to arrive soon. Although I feel that soon USA may offer at least two squadrons of F-16 Block 72 also.

some people say trnsfr of assets via clandestine means, but I'm not sure

Well, the US does a lot more than that for Israel. You cannot compare the US - Israel relationship to the China-Pakistan one.

Nope. India's influence & strategic position with the United States is too high to ignore for the americans. None of advance equipment will be offered from the US.

Pak might have hoped that sudden foreign policy change post regime change would do wonders but didn't realized that its only being used. No benefits in return.

They also can't afford to ignore us. And they would sell us weapons eventually.

I am not so sure, I think US may be willing to sell F-16 V units and upgrades, especially as they have been cleared for Turkey now and they are basically offered to anyone not cleared or who cannot afford F-35. US has nothing to lose here and can make money, giving Pak F-16V will not be a significant upgrade over J-10 and also keeps the Mil to Mil relationship alive (which I know the US is keen on). Only obstacles I think are price, Turkey paying $23 Billion for 40 new V and 80 upgrade kits. We simply do not have that much cash.

@Deino Keep laughing by the way you may get to hear date of J-31 arrival on this 23rd. You may hear not exact date but close to that. It also will match what I told you. And I had no information but my guess.

Well, and what will do do when they indeed reveal the date it arrives in Pakistan but that date will be after 2027 and not within the next 1.5 years ?

F-16 Blk. 72 is already "offered" to Pakistan. But the problem is it's not at the discounted prices received in the WoT.

Indians will cry about everything sold to Pakistan from nerf guns to nuclear weapons. Deals are made in secrecy for this reason.

You are wrong there.

Let‘s see

According to Mr Donald LU there are no plans to resume/ increase FMS/FMF for Pakistan. Therefore we have only 3 countries from whom major military equipment will be purchased.
China
Turkey
Italy
For minor military equipment like sensors etc there are many options.

FMS / FMF - Lu ko itna hi pata hai, jitni oski micro L ......

Pentagon / Centcom, CIA - These 2 determine what we get, or not.

FC31型和j35就像一台飞机的不同的分支，就像su33和j15，因为有不一样的用途，所以发展也是不一样的，巴基斯坦空军可能更偏向用一架飞机单挑多架敌方飞机以弥补人数上的差距，在中国j35可能在陆基部署的型号更偏向与j20的合作，而部署在航母上的j35则是更偏向和j15 j15t 和j15d的合作【这三种j15分别是j15部署在辽宁和山东号航母像su33一样应用在滑跃航母，而j15t则是将应用在003电磁弹射航母上，T代表电磁弹射型号，而j15d则是电子战型号类似j16d和ea18】
