If you think only JF-17 is good enough to protect Pakistan then God bless you my friend.No.

Yes it is and it's more than good enough. And that's coming from PAF whi put it better than the block 52. You are stuck in gora worship where nothing Pakistan makes is good enough. Even China has this stigma...nothing Chinese is good yet you iPhone, computer, tablets, car parts etc are all made there. But when the gora put it together with his stamp on it you worship it Nd pay inflated prices for the privilegeIf you think only JF-17 is good enough to protect Pakistan then God bless you my friend.
Also PAF needs a true strike aircraft. Not a beefed up tactical fighter that can carry n more missiles, but a true monster,like the B-1 or Tu-160.Such an aircraft would not only deliver a carpet of SOWs but also carry advanced long range air to air missiles in bulk,along with long range AESA, to be the "flagship" of its "Counter Air Battlegroup".
I feel the same. J-31 seems to be the perfect 5th generation fighter for Pakistan.As of now the PAF seems to be going for there own in house design. I feel it would have been better to team up on the j13/J35 project similar to what we did with the JF17.
JF17/J31 share almost the same weight class powerplant and many subsystems would be inter compatible. Cost saving wise/Value for money I dont think anything can beat the J31 when it comes to the PAFs 5th generation program.
As of now the quoted cost of the J31 is 75 million. If China commits to 350 and PAF 150 due to economies of scale/cheaper labour in Pak costs can be bought down significantly to the 60 million range which is a steal for a 5th generation twin engine fighter.
Only issue is that China committed to JF17 procurement in the past (250 units) only to bail out and leave the PAF as the only major customer. PAF may be waiting to see how the PLAAF proceeds before committing itself.
Turkiye is a secular and social state governed by the rule of law; and its people are muslim. It is the people that make up the state, and the Turkish people are predominantly subordinate to the Islam.Turkey is secular not muslim.

As far as I know JF-17 (FC-1) has always been a PAF-specific and PAC-led 3rd gen project to start with, CAC's role is like design & tech support, involving vendors from Russia (Klimov on RD-93) and Europe (e.g. Martin Baker). It's unrelated with PLAAF, we all know they have bet all 3rd gen money on SAC's J-11, CAC's J-10 & WS-10 turbofan.Maybe we could produce the J-31/J-35 in Pakistan like the Turks do with their F-16s?
Mastan, stop being condescending.Son,
Talk intelligent---.
JF-17 BLOCK III limelight will come when it manages to shoot down Indian planes. Until then it won't make a name. The day that happens you would see how big of reputation JF-17 will have.The hype of J10's has taken the limelight off of our own Thunder Block 3
Pakistan should for 5th generation next. In my opinion this is what PAF should aim for:
250- JF-17
150- J-31/J-35
100 J-10C
In total 500 modern combat jets.
Loyal Wingman is already under the work.Would Pakistan not also want to acquire loyal wingmen drones to augment combat strength? The two seater JF-17s could be modified to act as command ship, similar to J-20 twin seater, though PAF could also codevelop a J-31/J-35 two seater in the future.
