Actually PLAAF is not the party requesting J35A most urgently, as hundreds of J20 heavy stealth fighters including latest J20A fighters powered by WS15 engines, have already been in PLAAF services, and J20 fighters including latest J20A are in quality and quantity sufficient to handle F35 fighters deployed to face China.

However, naval J35 is in higher demand to fill growing PLAN carriers flying wings.

Nevertheless, if the first J35AE batch required by PAF, as many said, is not big, it should be no issue to supply those J35AEs in small number to PAF by end of this year.

Rumors indicate that production line is being expanded, however it's not confirmed but given that the main aim of Jf17 was to meet our own defense needs first, I believe they are true... Operationalising measures are put in place well before the induction of the aircraft so we'll absorb that beauty just fine....the museum pieces exist on both sides and theirs are even worse, but I excluded them from my analysis anyway, excluding our F7s and their jaguars, the gap is 120+/- aircraft and those are mostly Su30s but then it all comes down to who closes the kill chain first, and if the previous skirmishes are anything to go by, I believe it'll be us

Oh it can get the entire world pretty bad - that comment that “if we go we take the world down” is not made in jest

Is this a satire or are you serious?

Claiming that Pakistani pilots were apotted training on J35.. not sure how reliable this channel is.

And on another note, we dont see Indians contributing that much on this forum anymore

If there were PAF pilots training on it, news would have leaked from the inner circles. But a visit to the factory in flight suits often gets assumed for that they were there for flight training.....

Look at the picture, that's really beauty!

Will be even more beautiful in Pakistani colors and squadron markings, I wonder what they'll name the squadron

SPUTNIK :

The first batch of J-35A fighters — between four and twelve jets — could be delivered as early as later this year, according to an expert.

Chinese state TV has shown an export version of a new fifth-generation fighter jet — the J-35A. Analysts have tipped Pakistan as the most likely first buyer, the South China Morning Post reports.

You are misreading the learning of the mideast war. Iran was able to target and push back American airpower as it was not densely located, infact quite the opposite Iran was in a densily packed centre sorrounded by USAF and USN air assets in a L shaped axis. As a result USAF coverage suffered, its radars got taken out.

Now the case of Israel is quite different, Israel represent greater density of assets and sufficient airstrips. As a result Israeli airpower is only encumbered by the tyranny of distance (which effects Iran's effectors on Israel equally).

Now coming to PAF. Pakistan is more akin to the Israeli example in the essence that the area is more tightly packed, so fewer assets are needed to protect a vanguard formed of tactical aircraft. However, given the proximity of India and Pakistan's limited purchases of Airdefences, Pak army will have to make significant quick gains to limit Indias tactical surface to surface launches.

Assuming Pakistan gets 2 squadrons of J-35s.....and assuming J-35 stealth is at least as good as F-35 and hence it is really invisible to radars unless really really close, it pretty much makes their S-400/Barak/Akash batteries useless.

What the S-400 can target at 400 or 250 km range, it would only be able to at say, 50 km range. In that case, PAF can lead the push, take out the SAMs and then allow more BVR enabled JF-17 BLKIII/IIs and J-10s to take out the random MKIs, M2Ks and Rafales and whatever trash like Tejas/Jaguars is flying.

If PAF gets the F-16Vs, then they too can be put and makes job even easier, because with degraded AD, PAF can use F-16 in AA and Strike roles.

Once IAF Air and AD is degraded, it is up to Pakistan on how and what to target. But all of this will need to happen within 6 hours of start of hostilities and during those 6 hours, Pakistan will need to absorb anything from Brahmos to loitering munitions.

This is why Indians are in panic mode and buying everything left and right. They have no solution to the very soon J-35 problem that Pakistan is gonna shove up their face.

I can understand being cynical here but in the wrong we have all (including you) been wrong on many assumptions so completly dismissing things off the cuff may not be right.

How many of us on the forum were expecting the official roll out of an export model so early? Zero.

Let us see what happens
