PAF J-35AE - News, Updates and Discussions

[rafale]

Is the PAF also updating logistics and maintainability at austere locations in support of the planned acquisition of the J-35AE? The PAF has bases for dispersion. Are the J-35s and for that matter the J-10s able to be dispersed with enough support to maintain a high enough tempo of operations per the operational doctrine of the PAF in wartime?

Is the PAF asking for a modification to optimize for shorter runway takeoffs, so operating from motorways will be possible from more stretches of motorways.

Three key words; Protection (in dispersed and hardened and camouflaged shelters near motorway), Posture (mix of capabilities), and sustainment (logistics).

Logistics similar to what being built for the F-35B in the USMC;

F-35Bs operating from remote landing areas that could be destroyed soon after they takeoff is one way the Marines look to counter China.

The entire technical know how and up keep requirements will be procured as well along with the physical assets. And PAF is professional enough to be able to execute the requirements including maintaining a secure and sanitized environment, devoid of any western influence on the air bases.

I agree they will be able to do this at the major bases, but my questions are with regard to building the mechanisms to distribute just the needed elements of maintenance and support to austere bases, and locations so that fighters can operate while MOBs and FOBs take heavy fire. Air defense may improve, but being able to disperse and carry the fight to the adversary without loss of tempo in a war that could change on a dime in a matter of hours should be planned for, if we get the needed funds.

See, this is what needs catering for.......if you are expecting that MOB and FOB have taken hits and you are still able to fly J-35s, then you probably should not fly them and lose the battle anyway.

Tactics, Tactics and more Tactics will need be completely written a new.

J-35s cannot and should not be used as J-10s.

Point being, J-35s in an environment of 4th gens are massive force multipliers. You MUST use them as the top tier Tip of the arrow and take out potentially anything the enemy can muster against you. Take out the S-400s/Barak8s, because you have the LO advantage. Take out their fighters because their 200km scanning range radars will be useless against you because you will always have them within your PL15/16 radius and hence you take them out WHILE flying over enemy skies. If they can detect you at 100km and you can detect them at 250km, and launch missile, your job is 90% done.

IAF tried to stay 50-100 km away from border, still got shot down, because that is how much they needed to come near Pakistan for their ALCMs/ALGBMs to be able to strike inside Pakistan. Now if you have J-35s, and if their stealth is really as good as it is anticipated, you can literally fly within India, without them detecting or being able to guide AD missiles at you and you take out their jets 300km from the border because that is where they will be flying from next time. IAF will never fly within 150km of the border again against PAF.

Using LO jets will allow you to soften up their AD and AA jets, allowing JF-17/J-10 strike packages to continue to pound.

If you plan on surviving the first round, then behold, you will never ever get a chance at the second round.

its about time we start getting that Saudi and Qatari money, cause if they can spend 100's of Billions on America, few Billion for Pakistan for security won't hurt them.

We have to come out of this bloody dirty mentality. No one going to respect us. as a nation of 300 millions we must stand on our feet. The only thing we need to improve our productivity as a nation. And we have to get rid of this field. Marshall. Nation must get rid of this field. Marshall and his whole cabinet..

We are minus in Human skill productivity you may notice they are small countries with less population but their productivity level is unmatched

There is always the threat of Indian surprise attack, with no immediately preceding casus belli, and therefore either we have to rely on our intel collection capabilities to better predict their moves, which did great in May 2025, or build to be able to absorb first strike, IMHO.

Lying has become a big business today. Everyone is at it.

Some people have no shame and self-respect left anymore. It's scary.

Just the thought of Pakistan getting the J-35 has been spooking India for nearly a year now.

Add 300 Operational J-20's in China isn't helping IAF either.

And don't get me started on the 6th Gen China already has in the pipeline.

Enter the FCAS - IAF's next hope or so they think - maybe.

The good news is that they have plenty of models of AMCA that they have been taking to various events like AeroIndia.
