PAF J-35AE - News, Updates and Discussions

[Yasser76]

The point most of you all are missing is the long range and dual engine requirement that has been hanging around for decades.

PAF has always needed such platforms for deep strike. J-35 combined with its stealth capabilities fits the puzzle even if we acquire it immediately.

Do note that 7th May was just an Area denial victory. We didn’t launch any offensive inside the indian territories which will definitely be needed the next time.

Apart from that, The J-35 is equipped with bar better radars and EW suites than those on J-10C or Thunders so our BVR game is gonna get even stronger.

It will act as a force multiplier which is what the Pakistan Military needs as compared to the numerical superiority of India.

Yup, and data linking the J-35s with the J-10Cs will be a massive force multiplier for us. J-35s can fly ahead, J-10C can be further behind with radar off and receive targeting info

I understand what you saying. But seriously, even if we buy J-35, they will be no more than 40. So we wont be risking them being sent to Indian territory. Its a huge risk. Based on the yesterday's press conference, now we have all sort of attack LMs, we'll equipped rocket force. So do you really believe that we will be sending J-35 inside Indian territory ? I dont think so.

And it's not just about buying J-35 , we are in a mutually exclusive zone here where if we buy 40 J-35, we wont be able to afford any J-10C and JF-17 for next 3-4 years. And if we go for J-10C and JF-17, we will have to delay arrival of J-35 till maybe end of 2027.

And we all also heard CAS. There is no urgent requirement for J-35. We need it but in 2028. Maybe acquire 6, plau around it, test it. Develop tactics. And when we have funds then buy more. But acquiring J-35 in 2026, doesn't make much sense.

Yah. Data linking 2 squadron of J-35 with one and a half squadron of J-10C will be a huge force multiplier. We dont need numbers, not at all.

No body is "shamelessly spreading fake news" regarding J-35. You are having comprehension issues. Read his post again. Dont be this quick in jumping the gun.

USA is a super power as well. Yet ita recently produced F-35 are not yet fielding radars because of software issues. It also previously met many issues due to which they were largely grounded. Next technologies needs time to test and mature. China is not God. Neither is USA

As they say, a match in the hand of a fool is dangerous. LOL. The issue was related to Technology Refresh 3 (TR-3), which was supposed updgrade of existing software and hardware. The program was too ambitious so they had to tweek it back - it is not a big deal as you are trying to potray. There was no grounding of any F-35s - GOA report was critized for being speculative. And that is why there are 800 J-35s in US alone still flying.

Perhaps you should change your name to "Realfakester". LOL

Stealthy fighter tactics should be the other way around, as J35AE in total silence mode, and passively receiving situation updates via data links and its own passive sensors.

Accompanying J10C should be the one carrying jamming pods which actively interfere enemy radars to mask J35AE in front , making the stealth fighter even more stealthier thus safer.

Bro hold your horses. I am not AVIC. Neither am I Lockheed disgruntled ex-employee. Why would I care about any of that ? It is your arrogance which is forcing you to think that everything regarding F35 and J35 is perfect and Pakistan can just go ahead and join the party like it hell can afford. I bet you were one of those who also advocated going for J-10A in 2010-15 as well.

so should PAF go for J20A, it is super mature

All hail the black economy of Pakistan and Fauji Foundation.

I seriously don’t buy into the “Financial problem” thing.

When the military sets their mind to a procurement, They do it. Times have changed. Old precedents cannot be taken as examples. Geopolitics favors us with “favours”.

PAF had just 65 operational F-86s back in 1971 yet they sent them inside India.

40 par nukta nai laga hoa, even the figure isn’t officially confirmed by PAF/MOD. Replacement is a matter or days for SAC given their production capacity.

Pak-KSA pact is a blessing in disguise for our “special weapon safeguarding”. KSA bases can act as reserves for a lot of our expensive goodies. No one would dare to target our weapons in KSA.

 

[RealNapster]

so should PAF go for J20A, it is super mature

I know Mia Khalifa is not a good choice for me. But Kristen Stewart is excellent. Should I go with her ???

Affordability, need, system maturity, available options, okaaattt, i think all of them matters. No ? I dont know what is up with everyone on pdf these days.

I won't be surprised if the PAF purchases some jets and keep them along with pilots inside China. They can fly home during the time of war.....

The American's will have something to say about how safe our 'goodies' are. Cannot keep stuff externally, will have to stay inside Pakistan I think.

I now understand why @MastanKhan has been so adamant about PAF's acquiring JH-7 for deep strike capabilities up to Bombay, Madras, Bangalore etc. The "souls" of Hindutva lie there along with Gujrat. They need to be covered ASAP....

 

[Oscar]

its pretty clear PAF has observers on the J-35 prog, who are reporting back, then a decision will be made, im sure its the same with Kaan etc.

There is hesitancy, as expected, just look at the F-35 and its teething issues. The PAF will not want to deal with them.

Not only that - just as with J-10A to B - despite Chinese leapfrog into the 5th generation systems PAF is exposed to and had its own additional perspectives that it would want incorporated into the platform.

They are building their case for even more funds to expedite the Su-57 but the simple realities of scaling that project after stepping away from it in their infatuation with the US will hit in.
