PAF J-35AE - News, Updates and Discussions

[Michael]

It seems you are implying by using the example of the L-15 that the entirety of what has been provided by China to UAE and proxy forces such as UAVs, weapons for such systems, anti UAV systems, artillery and so on are downgraded systems or “airshow” grade?

Maybe you should pay attention to the context of the statement, rather than interpreting it too one-sidedly.
My statement is in response to this issue.

Interesting that the UaE continues to drive further Chinese technologies and China would promote the aircraft at multiple airshows for clients YET not agree to provide the aircraft even if contractual obligations are met

1. There are many factors involved in the arms trade.

2. The vast majority of English-language international media outlets are not friendly towards China; they analyze China from their own philosophical and value-based perspectives. However, China's concepts and philosophies differ significantly from those of many groups and countries in the English-speaking world.

If you really want to analyze the reasons behind this, you can start by reading the People's Daily.

Every person touching US equipment in Pakistan is vetted by the embassy and by inference Pentagon.
Including electronic access keycards.

Because their concern is non approved personnel accessing US equipment.

China has its own access control concerns regarding the J-10.

If the UaE can contractually guarantee that no access to US or Israelis is provided (could be putting them on a base where they are not allowed in) then it may satisfy the condition.

Keep in mind the issue isn’t US or Israeli boots on the ground - its Emiratis themselves who could just talk from one place to another.

The question isn’t if China will or wont see the J-35 - they took models to foreign airshows for a reason.

It’s their risk appetite for it -
As an e.g.
many years ago a Pakistani training another Ikhwan was telling them something about US procedures and why they wont work -

The Ikhwan thanked the Pakistani and WITHIN the same day went to the US trainer and told them “Look what the Pakistanis say about you”

Still they need at lest 3 years to make infra for 5th gen capabilities

Also, the first 100 J-10s were not the J-10s Pakistan wanted to see, the first 250 Chinese Flankers were not the pinacle of Flankers China wanted to have, even the first 100 or J-20s were not the J-20 China aimed for. So do not expect Pakistan to get any J-35s until China has inducted 500.

Yeah avic is promoting export variant and china has made a facility for j-35ae to shove it up there asses???
