Its official UK has joined Turkish 5th Generation Fighter-Program

[.]

Britain and Turkey have signed a £100 million-plus contract to collaborate on Turkey’s next-generation fighter program, the TFX. The deal was announced by Prime Minister Theresa May and Turkish Prime Minister Binali Yildirim on May’s ongoing visit to Turkey.


The contract is between Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI) and BAE Systems.


The Chief Executive of BAE Systems, Ian King, celebrated the deal by stating:


BAE Systems is a leader in designing, manufacturing and supporting fighter aircraft and is in an excellent position to contribute technical and engineering expertise and experience of managing complex projects to this key Turkish programme … The agreement confirms ongoing collaborative work on the design and development of the aircraft. (BAE Systems)

It's time for Pakistan to forget the Chinese platform and look towards Turkey as a permanent platform and J-31 should be considered as a stop-gap measure,It was reported in august that PAF had been requested to join the 5th generation platform.
It would be a great learning curve for Pakistan's aviation industry,the stealth technology applied to this 5th generation platform could be used in the future in Pakistan's potential platforms given TOT agreements take place.
Pakistan should start pouring money and collaboration into this program for its own sake.
We need to have a strong aviation industry and rely less on foreign solutions rather should be increasing our focus towards achieving self-reliance,JF-17 might've been a great step towards self-reliance but let's get real ,The primary reason for JF-17 is a stop-gap measure until the 5th Generation platform.
It seems all is going well for Pakistan air force and the usual cries of Su-35 and Rafael Tornados seems to be going down the drain (Now understandably).

Well the best will be if Pakistan can combine the elements of J-31 and TFX to get its own custom solution. J-31 has an advantage that it has already been developed so PAF can get is soon while TFX has the benefit that if PAF joins, it will go through the development cycle for a 5th A/C and have bigger say in the design and development phase. Thus I would say PAF should participate in both.

After leaving the EU, Britain would support Turkey to deter the European Union on the other flank.. Now Britain will share their technologies to Turkey and try to prevent Turkey's rapprochement with Russia, Iran and China.

Pakistan should opt and go for customized solution...As a stop gap measure, we can rely on J31 while also participating in TFX project at the same time, which will have its first flight in 2023...

TFX will be wonderful jet for us...There is no doubt about that....

That works out just fine for Turkey. I don't think there will be a collaboration in technology between Turkey and Russia soon but their political and military relations will improve and at least both nation's won't see each other as enemies. And that's great for Turkey.
Rolls-Royce engine for TFX will be a great plus and boost for the program since engine is the biggest stumbling block for most of next gen A/Cs. China is still struggling with is WS-series though they are getting them better. ASELSAN, Thales, Qinetiq, rolls-royce and TAI make a solid foundation for a successful 5th gen A/C.
