What good is stealth when you’re carrying your loads on outer surface

.

Block 1 is not fully STEALTH, there will be block 2 and block 3 (according to the plan) which is Full Stealth. Block 2 maybe can be rolled out after 2030.

Amra Khan started trolling again and our PDF fan boys started jumping.

People here run with anything Amra khan says trying to present it as information from their own "sources".

However, no one (including Amra Khan) comes back to apologise when nothing materialises.

What happened to BAF "punishing China and Russia" by going all Western with Rafales and Typhoons? Usual brain farts of Khan baba?

What we should be discussing is the reformation of BAF as an organisation and formation of a Joint Chief of Staff's Office which would coordinate and streamline the modernisation of the three forces.

BAF is a spineless organisation at present.

Good for Indonesia but like I say BD's 5th gen fighter will most probably be Turkish.

Dude, we all know this is speculation but the chances are good that SU-30 and J-10 will be coming to BAF.
No harm in a little discussion on this and so please relax.

Let's get some 4+ gen planes before we talk about 5th.

The topic was raised by our Indonesian friend and we are just advising him there is almost zero chance that BD will buy their fighter.

Difficult to say that. It’s a joint South Korean-Indonesian project.

There is a precedent for getting South Korean sourced equipment.

Not so for Turkish ones.

If and when Bangladesh decided to go 5th gen.....say in like 20 to 30 years....

Who really knows what the criteria and circumstances will be.

Let us not make wild speculation like in 20-30 years from now.
Really retarded to get 5th gen in 2050 as by then some countries would be operating 6th gen aircraft for maybe 2 decades.

Korea simply cannot be strategically reliable enough and does not have the economies of scale of the much larger Turkish economy.

i'm sure once the turkish jet is out... nations like pakistan bangladesh will opt for those instead of j31 ... let's wait and see

Pakistan will probably get both J-31 and TF-X due to it's strategic relationship with China.
J-31 should be available for export in the mid-2020s while we are looking at the early 2030s for the TF-X.

pakistan would get an alternative in the form of project azm

Project AZM would mean that Pakistan still relied heavily on the Chinese.
For sure the engines, composite airframe and air-to-air missiles would have to come from China pretty much wholly.
Other areas would require different amounts of Chinese technical support.
Pakistan is showing signs of wanting to buy huge quantities of Turkish arms and the TF-X would be ideal, but this would not be available till the 2030s, which is the same timeframe for project AZM.
J-31 will be available in mid-2020s.

If India gets it's hands on a 5th gen fighter next decade, then Pakistan will get J-31 for sure.

imo... project azm will be nothing but a rebranded j-31 with some mods done for pakistan's needs

So J-31 next decade and TF-X in the 2030s if you are right.
