Why would PN not buy the J 11 B's? Is it coz of the price?
For pak Navy. We have aircraft carrier??Why would PN not buy the J 11 B's? Is it coz of the price?
You don't necessarily need an aircraft carrier to have Naval Jet strike element.For pak Navy. We have aircraft carrier??
Even if inducted it will be under PAF not navy.
You don't necessarily need an aircraft carrier to have Naval Jet strike element.
We do have a Naval Air Wing, equipped with P-3 Orions, Atlantique and F-27 Maritime aircraft as well as several rotary types, which operate from shore bases. There was even news that Maritime strike Mirages may be passed over to the Naval wing.
finances I think
we already got JF-17 and J-10 going for a third one might not leave much resources to spare.
and also think what role will it play?
JF-17 being the backbone replacing mirages , A5s and F7PGs jack of all trade, air strike, CAP etc.
J-10 together with F-16 .. yet again... Multirole .. intercept, SEAD, escort, CAP and strike roles beyond JF-17s limits.
that pretty much fills everything/.. what is J-61/ F60 going to be? air superiority? replacement of JF-17 and J-10s?
first one is just starting induction, second one is still on paper in terms of what PAF wants.
F-16 or J21 might be something in the far far future. if I am not mistaken JF-17 and J-10s wont mature in our life time.
do correct me if its absurd what I say
I think it can't takeoff quickly from water. It has to cover lot of distance and times consuming process.if we can make a JF-17 land on water then there will be no need for aircraft carrier....we can have one large destroyer carrying racks at its back with JF-17 tied to it and floating along with it.....taking off from water and landing on water is very much possible ...imo slight experimentation is needed.
Why would there be a need when testing is already going on J-20? Simple solution is to buy an already existing concept than reworking from scratch.J-10 will hardly offer anything over the JF-17 and the F-16. Payload yes but if you consider how many wet stations it has, then there isnt much difference between JF-17 and J-10. Your post is correct but replace F-60 with J-10 because its the J-10 that offers nothing of significant leap over both the F-16s and JF-17.
My take is this, scrap the J-10 deal, its not worth the time and get involved in one of the 5th generation projects with either chengdu or Shenyang even if we don't have much to contribute. Imagine the knowledge we would gain by becoming partners in a 5th generation project. PAF engineers are already working in Chengdu so joining one of their 5th generation projects make much more sense and our JF-17 can be used as a test bed for the technology being developed for 5th generation. This way we can be sure of two things:
1) Alot of technology will make its way to JF-17 making it a true 4.5th generation fighter
2) We will be able to induct a 5th generation fighter by 2020, meaning much quicker then our Indian counterparts giving us the edge we have lost for so long now.
Very nice.if we can make a JF-17 land on water then there will be no need for aircraft carrier....we can have one large destroyer carrying racks at its back with JF-17 tied to it and floating along with it.....taking off from water and landing on water is very much possible ...imo slight experimentation is needed.
