It'd be nice if we could lease a few for DACT. @SQ8
If PAF could afford $18,000 per flying hour!

So far they have ordered the least capable (in terms of range and payload) and most expensive version of the F35.. The B (Lift-fan) version
Smart and logical move. Nothing beats -35 and UK's already adopted these so it makes sense to get more of those. -35 ensure air supremacy and allow UK to be the big dog in EU. EFT's allow them to just have a "potent" fighter with 50-50 chances of losing it in a fight. The cost of upgrading these is a lot and these still wouldn't come near -35's standards.
These can serve some other nation really well.
Is it possible to upgrade these to the later tranche variants?
Typhoon being a bad jet i disagree on. Having a stupidly expensive price tag i agree onYou can, it’s just that nobody is stupid enough to pay the costs associated with doing so. The tranche 1 is a really stupid plane and the typhoon in general is just a bad idea. I despise it with a passion, it’s the result of industrial protectionism that gave you sub par performance for a price tag that gets you so, so much better.
Typhoon is for idiots and Arabs, some may say those are the same though.
That wont sit well with priti patel or tommy robinson lolOffer UK JF-17. Its a modern AC with low operating costs.

Well if you want to have a wish list why not grab some of the sentinels that got retired early....It'd be nice if we could lease a few for DACT. @SQ8
They will if Pak stumps up the cash....That's has always been the issue rather than politics...West won't sell us even their second or third tier A2A aircraft. Stop daydreaming. J10C is the way to go for us.
The Tranche 1 cannot be upgraded, and does not support Meteor.the kinematic performance is good. Launching a missile from a higher altitude and at a higher speed increases the probability of K
Plus they can supercruise with a meaningful payload.
I wonder if these can be upgraded with CAPTOR-E radar ?
They are so different, that the upgrade cost is close to the cost of a new T3.Is it possible to upgrade these to the later tranche variants?
WRONGThe Tranche 1 cannot be upgraded, and does not support Meteor.
They have an old onboard computer that does not have the horsepower. The communication links have been upgraded.
The development engineers will not be allowed to spend time on improving Tranche 1. It is resources better used on T3 and later.
