Formal Offer for J-31 and also presention on J20

[Rafi]

Rafi sb any news about f 16s new one or Fc 20 I mean we should retire these old airframes as soon as we can

FC20 a bit unlikely now, with the PAF interest in the PLAAF Stealth planes - F16's are defin on the horizon. Probably MLU aircraft and also a chance for the 18 option being exercised.

What kind of improvements? do tell.

The radar for block III will probably a simpler smaller version of the AESA on J20/31, also other improvements in avionics and weapons both air-to-air, and air-to-ground.

Already know that.

What about full FBW? EOTS or EO DAS from J-20 /31?

HMDs, HOBS missiles? Composites?

LoL a lot but not all = we still need to keep the Thunder as a cost effective fighter.

Nay! that did not work out.

JFT blk 3 should be equal to or better than Gripen NG.

PAF wants to upgrade all thunders to block III - eventually, but for this it will have to remain cost effective, already one thunder can fly faster, carry more ordinance, and hit targets at longer ranges, than every aircraft in our inventory, except the F16

J10B has still been offered, but considering the very generous terms for J31, they will probably skip J10 and go on to J31 part of the presentation was the way J31 kicked the shit out SU30.

One J31 took out numerous SU30 in BVR in simulated combat.

What are the generous terms please

 

[Rafi]

What are the generous terms please

Long term low interest loan, and cost price, full technical co-operation and involvement in the development of the system.

Sir,
Would the price be similar to the F-16 Blk 52's?

Then it would be a good option.

Offer made, but still quite extensive negotiations to follow, simply - according to PAF top brass, "very good = 5th Gen fighter project, in our hands."
