Whoever came up with and executed the development of a homegrown PAF C2/3/4 &C system (Project Vision ?) in Pakistan should be thanked and blessed to the end of time with dua's. Very significant system that adds so much to Pakistans security and so forward looking in its scope of what was required for the future. Truly a blessing imho. Seeing some of the video shows how significant it has become to Pakistan as a whole.

The weapon is able to hit targets with pin-point accuracy from stand-off ranges of 120+ kilometers.

Pak should consider selling Jeffs to Algeria. Makes perfect sense for them, already a Mig-29 operator so there's commonality with the power unit. Also apparently the Algerians aren't too amused with their Mig-29 fleet.
 
Probably the worst kept secret in the industry. I've been hearing about this since 2019 and nothing concrete has been said or signed. Might as well market to others instead of them. Tajikistan is said to be interested right now
People here get too excited, like the Argentina deal was never a real possibility with the biggest American D rider milei in power, they could have gotten new block 3s but are now stuck with 25 year old F-16s.

Same with this Iraq deal, dassault simply has way more resources to "convince" (Bribe) potential buyers because you just know some Iraqi general and politician got some nice kickbacks from this deal.

The reason we got the Azerbaijani deal was simply because there was no challengers for that, Russia is in no position to deliver on time, turkey won't have a fighter plane offering at least until the 2030s so this was an easy win for us.

Now for these rumours of some Central Asian countries being interested in the Jeff. Again don't get too excited ATM PAC is too passive with its marketing, do what these other companies have been doing for decades giving a couple million dollars in bribes is nothing in comparison to a billion dollar deal.

Also Jeff lacks a complete weapon package we can sell, we have a decent A to G options but lack in A to A, buyers either have to source PL-15s from China or be stuck with the SD-10 which while is ok but doesn't come close to the Rafale+Meteor+Scalp combo France is offering.
