40 aircraft, Indeed quite an order.

I have never heard of a case where all fighter jets are transferred at once to the customer. It comprises of transfer in small batches of 6-12. If PAF is working on export order, at least half a dozen should have been transferred to the customer by now. Also why halt your own deliveries to fulfill export customers ? Last i heard, KAMRA had production capacity of 20 units per year so why not keep 30-40% production for domestic consumption. We have 100+ Mirages and PGs that need to replaced.

I believe the first batch of 16 will be delivered soon, Azerbaijani crews have finished training.

Tbh, could be Azerbaijan's order. If we see them receiving aircraft soon it can be assumed his prediction is correct.

Doesn't make sense to me why dedicate the whole production line to fulfill export orders. Half of our fleet is in need of replacement.

Slow down of JFT B3 local induction or can say on hold ... Put PAF to look for alternative... For which f16 used frame rumors are there

Nope real issue is of Russia permission india will run to putin. PAF is lacking dual engine 4.5 Gen fighter . Thats why if they want to do pfx it's should be dual engine jet. I know we Don't have ecosystem for even jf17 to do fully indigenously but we need expand our eco system thats how you can replace your aging fleet and fill gaps quickly of requirement needed for future.

Why the fixation with twin engine jets.

The earlier decision to put a hold on the number of BLK3 was due to funds being diverted to J 10. A right decision. Now production is ongoing primarily for exports.

A dedicated single engine E/W fighter

The Gripen E is fitted with the latest generation Arexis Electronic Warfare system, which can cope with most recent threats.

This is not "dedicated", just a normie 4.5 gen.

I wonder how state of the art Jeff Blk3 and J-10C E/W suite compare to every sibgle normie 4.5 gen fighter west has to offer

 

[Scorpio]

If PFX ending up as dual engine (unlikely) then it will entirety new jet instead of block 4 or 5 of JFT17

Rafale is 4.5 gen. comparison was good.

Rafale is 4.5 gen. comparison was good.

We have enablers on our side which allowed BVR missiles to track targets at really amazing ranges. J-10CE onboard systems alone won't be able to achieve the 182 KM kill.
