Do you have source I can read up on? About the 5th gen fighter plan?

The Forces Goal 2030.

But in due time, we will be talking about it, just like we are discussing MRCA tender.

We don't even have to contest which jet we will be going for then... unless pak fa is out and our requirements of large fighters like sukhoi turns into stealth requirement hence pak fa... else j31 uncontested

I think that BD airforce of 2030 will be composed of SU-30(4 squadrons)and J-31(6 squadrons).
An airforce of both Russian and Chinese planes would be strategically and technologically advantageous for BD.

By also means large ground crew training... purchase of more and variety of spares which would have otherwise been common and lots of money for training on maintenance of many kinds of plane on the fleet with lack of commonality

Only two fighter planes would be in BD air-force by 2030 in this case. Mig-29s and the J-7s would all have been retired. BD should not buy PAK-FA even if it is offered since India may also get it as well. Better that your
main opponent knows little about your primary fighter.

What about the j-7s that was just bought in 2013... those aren't retiring so fast... nor are the 2006 models

Mig 29 got 2 more overhauls before they're retired... that's 20 years approx.

Funny because we are getting sukhoi jets and you're saying better that your opponents know less about your primary fighter... and why do we always place India as our arch enemy? As long as they don't go North Korea on us I don't see your reason of freaking out so much

Mig-29 won't be seeing past 2030 as they would be 30 years old by then.

Maybe the 2013 F-7s will still be around but the 2006 ones can be retired as the airframes would
be pretty old by then.

If J-31 enters BD air-force then it would become the best fighter by a wide-margin and so a real
deterrent for even the most advanced militaries .

Military planning is always based on capability and not current relations. Can anyone forsee the world
of 2030 and beyond?

If BD was planning against Myanmar then 10 squadrons of fighters would be over-kill. It needs
to provide real deterrence to India as well.

 

[Ideas_R_Bulletproof]

debate on FC-31 is okay as a fifth generation stealth fighter solution.... but a stealth fighter is not likely to give the number strength.... single engine interceptors would play the most vital role.... after the acquisition tender of half-a-sqn of MRCAs, it would be most appropriate to think of the single-engine interceptors.... it is crazy in the 21st century to depend only on F-7s for air defence...

 

[Bengal Tiger 71]

So BAF going to procure 8 + 4 Su 30?

now i agree with you again!

@Bilal9 Any chances of BAF-PAF Exercise in near future...

 

[Michael Corleone]

@Bilal9 Any chances of BAF-PAF Exercise in near future...

it would be great to see.... we can learn a lot from each other.... perhaps also adopt each others training curriculum.
royal air force has before adopted some from us as they did from basically every good airforce they had an excercise with...
how much is the minimum flight hours training in fighter jets in pakistan? in US it's 180... bd it's 120... russia from 80 to 130 depending on pilot skills...

Depends upon type of Aircraft beinh flown by pilot.
@Oscar sir will shed more light on flight hours for basic and each conversion.

Not in the near future. But some equipment is already common (except cutting edge) so maybe in the distant future after regime change.

Next month Chinese delegation is coming to discuss the sell of J10B or FC1. Our much desired frigates purchase may be on the cards as well. Lets see.
