BAF can easily send AJT-qualified pilots to China/Sweden/US for Operational Conversion to J-10/Gripen/F-16 to fast track induction of new single engine fighters but no, they would rather thumb-twiddle to oblivion.

Every six months, more and more qualified pilots are going to retirement without their talents being utilised but who cares as long as Serniabat gets his joy rides on MiG-29s to shuttle to/from Dhaka.

We need some dam new leadership in the BAF

UAE over here getting F-35s while we don't even have 4++ gen fighters , BAF making us look like püssies.

My Nîggas in 1971 didn't die for our Air Force to be this shîtty

Only 35 pilots this batch. What are you on about?

Although I am not talking about this batch specifically, 35 pilots in an AJT batch is a lot for an air force which operates less than 50 fighter jets.

How hard is it to train 20-30 pilots every year for Operational Conversion in supplier countries to fast track fighter induction?

Here’s the funny part, UAE to get 50 f35 for 10.4 billion dollars, Kuwait bought 24 EFT for around 8 billion

If they haven’t decided for sure yet then it would just be another way to waste money.

Europeans know they can scam the Arabs for more money lol , but for us they can't cause we ain't that rich.

Of course they would have to decide on platform first for which they should have by now.

We all know BAF will end up with more Chinese fighters regardless of what else they get.
They could have easily inducted three squadrons of J-10s by now.

j-10Cs are for the F-7 replacement deal , idk why BAF still operates those F-7 death coffins.

I expect J-10Cs for sure , it's the easiest deal BAF will make and idk why their lazy àss ain't doing nothing but flying in rusty Mig-29s and rusty Fishbeds

F7 BGI are new bulids and definately not rusty.

J10C also seems like a good option... there has been no international sales as yet which is an issue.

BD needs to look at JF17 in my opinion also. There was an argument that JF17 was not very good because PLAF has not inducted it themselves. Well PAF is not bothering with J10 series and seems content with JF17. BAF needs to review the pros and cons. Both will have inherent advantages and disadvantages.

The main reason the airforce hasn't gone the Chinese route as of yet is probably because Myanmar has now become the primary focus, instead of India since the Rohingya crisis. Whatever we induct (Chinese or Russian), they do it too. If we go the western route (if we can afford it), they won't be able to match that nor have the political clout to obtain them. Of course the backbone of the force will still be Chinese-origin planes, likely J10s.

jF-17s really?

Our enemy Myanmar has it , why the heck do we want that instead of the J-10C ?

I agree , we are definitely getting a western platform knowing that as time goes on the political climate of South Asia is changing.

With a western platform we can definitely be sure Myanmar won't try to copy us

JFT is the a 4.5 gen aircraft.... If J-10 C has any benefit PAF would have gone for it back in 2008 In fact J-10C is based on a rejected Israeli design.... We are using F-16 from 1980s and incorporated all our experience in the development of jft ....It is superior than F-16 block 15.... but as you said "JF-17s really?"
Do you have any Shame left? Saying against the first Muslim country developed fighter jet?.... Why you converged to live a life in hatred towards Pakistan and the only nuclear Muslim army in the world????

Even India is facing difficulties in the procurement of Rafale and the payments for it.... EFT is of somewhat same price as Rafale.... If F-16 is available anywhere in the world then the first buyer of it will be PAF....
Saab Gripen is Same as jft block 3 So what is your point?

PAF and BAF needs are different. That does not mean JFT is bad.

A fighter jet is a fighter jet. Does not matter whether it was developed by Muslims or Pastafarians.
You deserve no special treatment.

Funny how "Muslim" fighter jets are sold to Rohingya oppressors.
