PAF J-35AE - News, Updates and Discussions

I'm guesstimating. NASTP is in nurkhan. Next-Gen fighter program is handled from there. . 1 or 2 J-35 would come to Pakistan for extensive testing. Either they'd station them at Kamra or at Nur Khan. No construction of new hangars in Kamra. So Nur Khan becomes a guesstimate.

I think if 5 gens come to pak theyll make a seperate modern airbase for them like they did for f-16s and bholari to have modern standard infrastructure including those hangars. That or major renovations to an existing base and dedicating to mostly 5th gen work.
 
I mean F-35 doesn't have super-cruise. Does that bar it from being a 5th gen fighter? I'm not sure about your no aesa claim, Zhuk-AE is an AESA last I know



Reports say F35 has super cruise capability for 150 miles . It’s able to maintain Mach 1.2 even if it’s for a dash.
 
Su-57 not yet, it doesn’t have a datalink. It’s planned to, but neither the SU-57 nor the its UCAV wingman have finished Russian's are still developing and testing? Unless you Chinese give Russia the tech support. The most important 5 gen feature is NOT only stealth, But system integration and sharing. 5 Gen is all about integrated communication, Stealth is there just to buy you time and range to lunch your things. And unfortunately Su-57 RCS. It’s a radar signature magnet.

Su-57 isnt a radar magnet bro. I agree with most of your points but su-57 outperforms litteraly everything that isnt a 5th gen in all spectrums from all all angles. More importantly it can carry weapons without radically increasing rcs unlike all these rafale fanboys cope of their plane being LO except when they actually have to use it

J 35 will never be based in Bholari.... existing bases or new base in the north.

Can I say bro, SU-57 is not a 5th Gen. it is somewhat stealthy , and it’s designed to be a stealth fighter 🥷 😊 , it can be defined as a stealth fighter, just not a very good one. Im not taking anything away from the legend is Russian aerospace all done in house original design so different to other 5th Gen designs F35 F22 j35 etc. 🇷🇺 👏
 
The photo shows the J35A’s current power plant, believed to be WS21

The structure of WS21 engine is 3-7-1-1, same as F414. This indicates that WS21, although still inferior to WS19, is still a capable mid thrust engine with TWR >=9.

I am unsure here, UAE are very close to Israelis. Look at issue Qatar had with Indian spies passing on information to Israel on it's submarine programe
Observing the relationship between UAE and Israel from China's perspective. It uses investment and finance as financial links, technology and innovation as market cooperation, and Iran's military threat as the basis for political cooperation.

There is no element of cooperation against China in this, nor does it interfere with the different attitudes of both sides towards the United States and Israel. Just like the relationship between China and Russia, it will not be affected by Russia's support for India.

For China, we have very deep trade relations and common interests with any country. So we don't mind these countries getting along well with countries that China dislikes. Because we are confident that these countries will not easily damage their common interests with China for the sake of those countries. Of course, the premise is not to touch the red line of Taiwan issue.

Pakistan will become a stronger military power than most major western nations with this package.

Algeria beat us to the stealth part. They have SU-57s flying around the country.
Lol

The Su-57 is barely stealth. The Korean KF-21 is far more stealthy, and its currently considered a 4.9 gen.

The Su-57 is a trash, and will remain trash.

Russian aviation is on its death bed.

NASTP will have nothing to do from a location perspective -
J-35s requires climate controlled facilities and the most effective ones are at….

NASTP is semi R&D and semi plaque and real estate “ادھر بجری ڈال “

I am assuming it definitely can't be high humid near coastal zone environment.....ideally would be dry location such as jacobabad

Anyone else wants to join this list, let me know.

This is just for fun.

I think the J-35 will not grace existing PAF bases. I think there will be special facilities built for it deep into Pakistan, behind significant air defence. Having a premier asset in range of Indian LACM's, which did get through to an extent is suicide.
