Key takeaways:

- Interviewer asked chishti about the rumors surrounding the cancellation of J-35 deal originating mostly from India and after his earlier interviews to which he replies that the J-35 isn’t fully operational yet (despite induction) in the PLAAF and it still is Going through weapons testing and integration and engine upgrading is still being sought after. China isn’t marketing the J-35 in a way that it should.

- PAF is not only engaged with China for J-35 AND J-20 (interviewer specifically asked about J-20) but also multiple other projects. He claims that the PAF always goes for mature platforms and J-35 isn’t mature yet. J-20 is mature, operational and integrated and is an option that we have under consideration too.

- He confirms (finally putting Rest to the stupid debate by some people that the PAF never sought the J-35) that the PAF has been engaged with China for the J-35 for a long time and we will eventually get them.

- PAF has multiple negotiations going on, some mature and some not, but he chose to keep them confidential and that retarded guy Qazi interfered (f you qazi sahab! That felt worse than a heart break, learn some manners)

- He asks if PAF sees the Thunders in Indonesian flag to which he replies that the world Saw Pakistan employing J-10 and thunders against rafales and saw the outcome. He indirectly implied that the PAF might’ve pitched the Thunders and the Indonesians are second guessing their rafale choice.

- Multiple military delegations are visiting Pakistan to seek the experience and trainings.

1. Absolutely horrible hosts. Fat ass slobs keep interrupting him.

2. I'm afraid they are going to fail to capitalise on this success momentum to change course. It could be a chance to fix things domestically (properly, not minor patch work) via reforms and get some significant foreign deals in on our weapons sales.

Unfortunately, you’re right.

The biggest issue with Pakistan historically has been to let go off of great chances to sow seeds that could bear great fruits in future but the qaum is busu with shortcuts. That’s the summary of Pakistan politics, planners and establishment.
 
China should offer J20 if the J35 is not operational, it should be good enough for the PAF for even a decade or more.
We have seen that these "stealth" platforms are very high maintenance and involve secretive info the OEM manufacturer doesnt like sharing. The F35 is suffering the same shit.

Better to go for J20 in the meantime, its an upgrade from the J10C.
PAF will be even better with J20 rather than J10C. (imo)


Yes for sure … but realistically it is a no-brainer! Pakistan won‘t get J-20.

We are getting J-35 and getting them soon. These new rumors or the news that J-35 is not ready is pure BS.

Come on ... you are spreading this BS since months as if they are already raedy for delivery, ready for service or even in Pakistan! Nothing is true ...

Otherwise; YES they will come but surely never this year and even more not until August 2025. And don't tell me the J-35A is not ready ... I'm the one who's constantly correcting thsi false claim since it is already in PLAAF service!

Tell this your own peoples who still think it is not and therefore Pakistan should go for J-20 instead!

How many times I have to correct you? My initial assessment was when PAF Chief announced its induction in January 2024. I mean that we have started the work on inducting these. My guess was end of 2026. But than we had operation Sindoor and social media went on fire that it could happen even faster than that. So my now updated guess is three to four jets by end of this year. I mean the first batch.

Pakistan most likely negotiating with China for UCAV.

In Pak, you will not find any sane/well educated host to discuss strategic matters ...look at the Razi dada on the other Vlogs ... mouth full of paan ...discussing J-35 and hypersonic missiles.

Majority of them don’t know anything about Defense but there are few good channels that discuss geopolitical & defense related topics.
