A NEW AIRCRAFT FOR PAF

[GURU DUTT]

Careful here, there were some talks of IAF getting F16. I know it is not a problem to change all that but still "log batain bnain gy". You may have to make F-16 as the worlds most advanced tech machine in some time, or perhaps F-18!!

yes there is solid foundation to your claim and the recent 100% in FDI in defnce is a indicator to that as both Boeing and LM wanted to go alone in indian market under MII scheme and IAF is more than eager for both but there are two viewpoints aswell for whome to choose

1.first offer by LM for falling numbers there are some 90 surplus USAF F-16 C/D to be upgraded with new engines and complete avionicks and radar upgrade to F16V level of which LM wants to upgrade 30% in USA and then remaining in india while tranferring whole assdeembally line and manufaturing infra to india and also make india the service destination/hub for further upgrades and spare supplies to the other international coustmors plus the prospects of F35 as and wwhen they are avilable

2.instead going for FA-18 E/F from start but since boing doesnt have a 5th gen contender and rafale at same price is much much more potent there are doughts

Sir.
The 90 F16's and 30 Rafale would complete the MMRCA requirements.

The Israel Air Force F-16 SUFA are also put on sale because the IAF is going to take deliveries of F-35's this year. These can all end up in India. Increasing the numbers that are desperately needed in a two font war. However this would leave the Rafale and F-18's a non essential item for IAF. Not to mention added funds are proposed for the LCA so that it can be available as per demand.

The F-35's will take an other 10-15 years till they become part of Indian Air Force.

no sir we need at least 25-35 full squads (18X25=450,630) frontline fighter jets as we are prepairing for a two front war while likes of F16s could be for the western sector while likes of rafale , MKI for north and north eastern sectors

now we alreay have say upgraded 60 Mig29s & 54 M2Ks and some 272 MKI(to be upgraded to super sukhoi level) which means 386 fighters (21 squads) and then there would be 36 (2squads)rafales meaning 422 frontline fightersmeaning 208 still less even if you take say 90 FGFA/PAKFA we still be short 118 fighters which could be F16V or FA18

as for F35 well they might come for IN AF as russia still dosent have a naval version of T50 rest you can speculate yourself

Su-35 chance is slim for PAF its might be J-10c-d or EF2000

Give me one good reason as to why I should believe Pakistan has even the slightest chance to get the Eurofighter.

GOOD...

Time for PAF to relax because how India works it would take 30 long years for all this to materialise....Case

well good for india if you think so as there is nothing better than an enemy who underestimates and downplays rise of its mortal enemy
