With J-35A, UCAV (possibly Kizilelma), homegrown decoy UAVs, and SOJ in play, the PAF's future offensive work just needs 3 pieces: the Saab Erieye ER, an MRTT, and a homegrown attritable UCAV.MBDA UK/Italy were already at IDEAS 22, they exhibited CAMM-ER, Marte-ER and various Helos. This time MBDA France is coming reportedly.
I think now is as good as time as any to seek 2-3 A330 MRTT, especially with Airbus DS seeking open commercial contact.
As for MBDA, I think their goal is to get LR-SAM deals from the PN. If MBDA France is entering the picture, then it's a big deal as it'd indicate the SYLVER VLS is on the table. In other words, quad-packed SAMs for the J-Class FFG. Could possibly see that ship boast a mix of CAMM-ER (40 km) and CAMM-MR (80 km).
