PAF J-35AE - News, Updates and Discussions

[studsmart]

Only Allah knows but from what I am feeling, Pakistan might end up buying more F-16s. I'd rather Pakistan buy more J-10C jets.

But let's do a mental exercise, imagine an American delegation going to Pakistan to officially offer latest, state-of-the-art, top line F-16s jet package, will Pakistan say, "No, thanks"?

It depends if they come free or half priced..

F-16s offer highest availability rate compared to any 4 4.5 gen jets in the world. Meanwhile IAF SU30 availability is mere 60%.

The J-35 is already in Pakistan. Delivered and in use.

Even this source is stating it as a "chinese jet", not "PAF fighter jet"

60% is being generous

60% is being generous

it might get there since they are putting some smart supply and maintenance logic into ensuring spares/service availability which would work out for most components once their super sukhoi upgrade(if it stays on time) comes through - the engine then will remain the limiting factor.

Do you have the metallurgical industry to produce single crystal blades ?

‘Frenchman’ gets severe butt pain at the mere suggestion that Pakistan will do anything. Does India have the metallurgical industry to produce single crystal blades? And if they do, why is Kaveri such a disaster?
