They needed both at the same time, the JF-17 Thunder as well as the J-10Cs, however, they could only afford one joint program at the time.

So they chose the stop gap approach which involved inducting new F-16s as well as modernising their existing F-16s, along with keeping the Mirages alive for as long as possible.

Luckily for Pakistan, the Americans dangled their carrot, "India will be the next super power by 2020" to the extent that the Indians were daft enough to forget modernising their own air force, and instead concentrated on modernising their navy so they could align themselves with the Americans, the Japanese and rye Australians.

That just triggered China to side with Pakistan in way that it totally undermined India.

Come 2025, India tastes a dose of reality. Come 2026, US removes "Indo" from it's US Pacific Command but still expects Confused India to keep itself aligned with the US.

Hi,

JF17 has an anti ship task that neither the J10 nor the F16 could take on---.

Interesting that the Azeri Thunders are using a "block 5" serial, skipping Block 4, maybe Block 4 serials are for the next batch for PAF?

You suppose these are transfered Thunders from PAF's own inventory.

That's exactly my point, why not 4 for Azeri jets, why 5?
