PAF J-35AE - News, Updates and Discussions

[Deino]

If you watch full video you will come know China never refuses.

I know, but why then starting a Video with the title as uff Chiba refused? Surely not to inform but only to gain attention and clicks.

It’s almost like same stupid behaviour like this Indian analyst (?): Claiming there are whatever based on unconfirmed reports … but anyone with the flightiest bit of understanding knows, there is no chance that these are still active regardless any claims, Yes, there are also claims about intelligent live on Venus, but since these claims are BS it is not worth to comment or suggest a stupid drive from it.

And exxactly the same, why suffering China refused to deliver when everyone knows it’s fake?

Reality is financing is the key problem. Pakistan will not get cheap financing from China for J35 unless India has fifth gens on order (we know those are not coming anytime soon). For now what's in PAF's inventory is sufficient to deal with Rafale and everything else in IAF's toolkit. Pakistan probably cannot afford the J35s on market rate financing terms and it's not a high priority item for the Pakistani government to request Saudi subsidies either. Hence, J35s are not coming any time soon.

Hi,

Financing was never the problem---financing will never be the problem---.

This has been the mantra of many a posters---and since I have been a memebr on this forum---pakistan has received from china whatever it wanted---.

And not a single " no financing " guy has ever come and apologized for their short lived thinking---.

It is all about 'what pakistan needs'---'when pakistan needs'.

A satellites roughly costs same as a modern 4.5/5 generation fighter jet these days. If an airforce can have 500 fighter jets, it can also have 100 satellites. Taking 100 satellites is not a simple task.

Coming back to your original argument, I agree . Thats why i believe now countries will be focusing more on very long range fighter jets that have combat radius of 2500 km+. So that they can be parked very far away from enemy country border/assets. This is one such solution that may be explored. I believe options such as J-36 and J-50 already offers similar ranges.

Hi,

On current fuels---that is not possible---. Unless the B52---B1---B2 bomber's category and operations are changed into fighter aircraft---.

That official ISPR helped to address rumours to say no J35s or J20s coming in Jan-27, but it did say Pak is developing the essential defence infra for 5th Gen jets. Thats a strong hint for me they prepping for J35, but is going to take some time to procure.
