F7?I’m just glad we got rid of the flying pipe.
By inducting KIZILELMA (air superiority) and ANKA-3 (deep penetration and strike) type AI enabled stand-alone stealthy combat unmanned jets (with all the amenities a manned fighter can carry), which can be continuously upgraded to cater for technological innovations, the PAF can offset the IAF procurements in a cost effective manner. Since they require no constant pilot training they're damn cheap to maintain and operate. Moreover, the PAC can do local production with active participation in the R&D.....
According to Elon Mask, the unmanned combat jet is the future. And, Selchuk Bayrkatar has said he has the technological and fiscal spaces to pitch 10 KEs against a single Greek F-35....
*A twin engine version of KE is being developed for supersonic flight regimes.
Only possible with so called denuclearization. No more F16s for anything less. They won't give us F16s even if they are given drone bases etc. Gone are the days.With a V upgrade PAF can fly out the Viper till 2040, in fact even USAF plan to do this, we could also try and get some new build Vs we could have 100 F-16s out till 2040, so PAF could be
100 F-16
100 J-10C
100 J-31
100 JF-17 Block III
400 fighter jets. Rest will be separate. AWACS are already in large numbers. For Tankers it would be YY 20 of China and EW will be I think from Turkey. Few other platforms as well.What about tankers, Cargo and other supporting platforms?
There is a new engine for the JF-17 Block 3, I think WS-13EThe JF-17 PFX really needs to be centered around the best engine Pakistan can get for it in its weight class. Hopefully the WS-19 will be ready soon, because the engine specs aren’t that much different from the original YF-16 F100-PW-200 specs.
The PAF needs the JF-17 to be, they way Sweden uses its Gripen E, their everything fighter. The J-10 and F-16 can be the top of the spear but the bulk of the fleet needs to be almost right up their with these birds in all but weight of weapons carried and size of their radars.
No

yes, for good reason.Some people still can't get over their F16 fetish, even though PAF has moved on
to J10C.
The F-16 is arguably the perfect aircraft for the PAF, the PAF knows this too which is why they continued to keep chasing it. I bet you now, if it became available again, they would pursue it again.
Every arms purchase has strings attached, you need to get this. The only reason its been more evident with the US is the fact that the US actually has influence. China is up and coming, they know arms=influence, getting arms in the hands of their allies and then using them to twist their arm is a natural progression.I agree it would be perfect if they had no strings attached. What is the
guarantee that they become available, PAF makes payment and then they
are blocked again. There was a time when PAF made payment and got soya
bean oil instead.
Original plan was between 150-250 but then Dawn of the Drones started.I believe original plan for Jf17 was to induct 250 units
With this aircraft Replacing your entire Mirage 3/5 and F7 fleet
will increase in J10C number eat into the Planned Jf17 fleet size
Why do we need l15 read on pdf that jf17 twin seater be used for lift
Aircraft Quantity JF-17 Thunders 149 J-10C Indus Dragon 20 F-16 Falcon 74 J-31 Gyrfalcon L-15 (LIFT)
So, Pakistan Air Force intends acquire a total of 157 fighter aircraft consisting Thunders, Indus Dragons, Gyrfalcons and L-15s by 2030 at the latest.
