Why KAAN? What can KAAN possibly offer other than Muslim Brotherhood that J-31 Gyrfalcon can't?

You're not under the impression that Turkish Aviation is somehow superior to Chinese Aviation?

PAF just does not want to put all eggs in one basket. KAAN is the "western fighter" meant to replace the F-16 but it will take time, probably 10-15 years. It's not about a country being superior over the other. China and Pakistan both allowed Azerbaijan to customize its JF-17 with Turkish avionics and weapons. It doesn't mean Turkish technology is better than Chinese. Lots of factors go into it such as geopolitics and supply chain.

The Turks will not let their jet be flown by an engine that they themselves don't develop or use.

Turks just want to make money. They don't really care. Also worth mentioning Pak Navy was allowed to customize its MILGEM.

Different flight dynamics - weapons fit and so on but whether they would want a Russian or Chinese engine is a different case. PAF would prefer a western or local Turk engine (likely them adapting an existing European one) to not put all it’s eggs in one basket

Thats the right approach totally its not about who is better.

Regarding the training of pilots for 5th generation fighters, I'm not sure how the US does it. However, China has some public information.

You can speculate on the PAF pilots based on these scenarios.


You are hopelessly paranoid! LOL.

PAF usually does initial training through test pilots, who then, teach instructor pilots, then together write the manual and only then training begins for the pilots.
About 2 years.
 
Pakistan is a good salesperson for the Chinese weapons, after Pakistan buys and tries certain Chinese weapons, other countries, especially Islamic countries usually soon follow suit, they all wait and see Pakistan to try those weapons first.

For the following reasons:
- A GE-class 35lb indigenous engine with super-cruising and super-colling features
- A 3K+ T/R module AESA system for long range detection, EW, EA etc.
- A highly "clever" EW/EA that can beat the Russian EW/EA which beats the Western EW/EA
- A 6th gen USAF-class CCA scheme incorporating stealthy unmanned jets like KIZILELMA for A2A and ANKA-3 for deep strike
- A 10K+ young and energetic workforce working 24/7 with the Ashk-i Ibadet to prove their places under the sun. Even after a terrorist attack to kill them they shout out: we'll work more, and we'll produce more
- AI and Deep Learning accelerated implementation of the best of the TURANic battle strategies and tactics, which had produced 3 world famous empires: Ottoman, Safavid, and Mughal
- Etc.

To be honest, when I see KAAN, I just think of it as a poor man's F-35.
