J-31 to be inducted soon| Pilot training reportedly in progress

[TOPGUN]

6 to 8 squadrons.

That's a total of 120 to 160 with reserves.

Did Pakistan figure out how to pay China close to USD 10-16 billion for these many J-31s?

You indians worry too much about others, don't worry about what doesn't concern you simply. But know that this deal will happen !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You are making a fifth generation fighter as if it's a rare diamond laced necklace that only the royalties can afford......you are making a mountain out of the molehill .....let's keep the price of J 31 at the top end say it's 100 million $ a piece .....60 aircraft 6 billions... you are not going to pay this money upfront . Spread it over 20 years , it comes to 300 million a year , it's peanuts......PAF has excellent physical and intellectual infrastructure to absorb the plane without incurring heavy expenses....

You don’t just pay for the fighters

Any other country with advanced capabilities has no need for military intervention in Pakistan as their intelligence investments are enough to get the entire state to stand upside down on its head while juggling plates on its toes.

India is the only peer type threat - all other threats are asymmetric and gaining ground as well.

When the D day arrives, everyone has to fight for self. Making money, double crossing and corruption maybe rampant in our officials. But it gets real when it gets real, if the same powers decide to dump you and get rid of you, you better have some sort of a backup plan.

They are assets and are offered privileges, till its decided its time to dump them. Then one cannot get green cards and PRs.

I know Bol news is reporting this as well but are we to believe they're training on the handful of prototypes?

Mate, do you think that these aircraft are like furniture that can be bought at a fixed price per unit and put in hangers and that's it? What about costs of development, training, maintenance, repairs, supply of spare parts, and weapons? The maintenance part alone will be a headache due to costs of maintaining increasingly sophisticated engines and extremely sensitive RAM application(s). Pakistan needs advanced infrastructure to maintain a fleet of J-31. Then there is the question of how good this jet is because China is lacking in development of stealth aircraft in comparison to the US.

Where is the feasibility report of this project? Where is the proof that this project will have no impact on Pakistan's fragile economic situation? The military continues to add to expenses while the country is facing sustainability challenges and borrows from others to make ends meet. A lot can happen in 20 years that might not suit Pakistan. India also has a convenient counter to this induction in case you forgot. You have very simple thinking.

Pakistan defense should be practical and put under civilian academic oversight to understand how it affects Pakistan's economic situation like in developed countries. Otherwise, Pakistan is well on its way to becoming North Korea 2.0 due to hubris of generals. But they seem to have a virtually endless supply of patrons to encourage them. Meanwhile Pakistan is losing bright minds to foreign countries. Keep it up.

Are you talking about the F35 that always has problems, or the F22 that is already waiting to die?
