PAF J-35AE - News, Updates and Discussions

[mythbuster]

They are focused on their interests and business profits first and foremost - all countries are and nothing to be offended about.

UAE has signed in for the J-35 - and in larger quantities with cash in hand instead of Pakistani soft loans and other approaches.

They are openly(some say voluntarily) not interested in having Pakistan get any further military equipment from any source. my hypothesis (happy to be corrected) is thatey are now an unfriendly country similar to how Egypt occasionally has been in preference for India but perhaps more so now along the lines of fully supporting India barring providing their own military.

Unfortunately, since the entire ruling class incl those in and out of uniform have massive financial interests mostly at personal (but some even institutional) level they are willing to eventually shrug and take the hit

Wow , didn't know UAE has replaced Pakistan as China's Israel ....does UAE have some equivalent of Epstein files on Chinese leadership?

There is someone with a bigger danda than UAE and thats Saudi Arabia and in addition to this, Pakistan has a unique relationship with chinese. So im not buying this even though i dont doubt your claims or credentials by any means. It might be the case ur overestimating their influence.

Pakistan does not need J-35 right now, it needs to induct more J-10s and JF-17 Block 3s. J-35 will be an operationally expensive aircraft beside its capex.

Pakistan would need J-35s if India does actually start construction on our rivers.

Can anyone evaluate J-35s for their A2G capabilities?

I am not sure about UAE getting J-35 before Pakistan, China has not succumbed to such pressure before, obviously I could be wrong here. Another factor is J-35s in UAE would royally upset the yanks, and would China trust UAE with the plane?

Just not sure, but as you say, they have cash...

Does we need J-35 that early I mean within this decade? there is no threat that India will get or develop 5th gen jet within this decade, So why we are in a hurry to get 5th gen jet (J-35) is that early and as for destroying Indian dams on our rivers our conventional 4th 4.5th gen jets equipped with Ra'ad and Taimoor as well as ground launched Babar are enough for destroying Indian dams on our rivers and as for deep strike missions inside India we should either go JH-7A or J-16

J-35 will be the main air superiority jet for PAF rather than have a stand-off strike and CAS (close air support/ deep penetration fighter jet)
