Bloody hell newbie where did this list come from?!

There is alot of unconfirmed equipment here so kindly share your source.
 
Yeah, who said we're getting 60 J-10s? And what is the source on the 054A missile firgates?
 
Methinks the above is a wishlist (a pretty good one actually I like) or sourced from Wikipedia.
 
I think we should try to get S 300 or at least HQ 18 or HQ 15.

That would make our air defence strong

As I see it the PA will probably get either T-129 or WZ-10 for its attack helicopter requirement...requirement was for approx. 30. Transport needs will be covered with more Mi-171s as these will also be produced in China...in the future we may supplement these with AW149 or Z-15.
 
i thought this was a modernising air defences thread?

Mark,

WZ-10 is not coming any time soon, Chinese will not export it until they fulfill their own requirement which could take 8 years.

As far as the purchase of T-129, it's pure speculation and there is no evidence to support that PA will go for it just because Turk are going for it.
Pakistan is desperately trying to get moral and defense support from Russia but so far Russians are unwilling to provide any solid support due to Indian pressure. Pakistan wants to diversity it's portfolio and want to try Russian military hardware. As far as MI-24/28/35 concerned, Pakistan requested these either directly or indirectly from Russia but request was denied.

The order of 4 Milgem corvettes from Turkey is also based on speculation, PN need and desire to build stronger defence relationship with Turkey.

Based on Speculation Pakistan - Turkey may sign multiple defense contracts.

*joint order larger # of U-214 SSK (TOT, build in Turkey and Pakistan)
*4 MILGEM Class Corvettes (could be TOT)
*ToT from Italy, joint build T-129 in Turkey and Pakistan, or joint purchase T-129.
