M-2000 soon to go for upgrades, Jaguars upgrades for strike, mki, Mig-29 Upgrades and new ones, mrca 125-200 of them, how are you gong to counter all of them. If you are debating you'll throw in ALCMs and we'll wreck havoc on indian side, you are mistaken indians have goodies on the side too, we should come out of "1965 era".
JF-17 is not worse but look at the where we are standing. They are growing beasts on the other side of the border, look back 20-22 Years where do we stand, look at India and Infact look at other world's air forces. This may sound stupid to many but I would keep talking about it J-10A was evaluated too late and when PAF decided to get a customized version again too late Thunder project should not have lifted off in the first place, that investment should have gone earlier to J-10B, Now if JF-17 i would invest in something i want to make sure its too good to be true too good to be challenge enemy, sounds stupid and funny but if you were looking for a knockoff low priced something F-16s, i would have invested in a little more if China can come up with J-10B that has its resemblance and inspiration from F-16 i would faily have invested more into it or something to come out as a direct competitor to F-16 block 40/50. Is it difficult? No is it impossible? No..time consuming Yes you get a better end product, we wouldn't be investing and taking chances on 2 different new products, both not matured not battle proven. For all i know i wanted to see PAF come up with a rip off and spin off of F-16 the world can rant about it.
FC-20/J-10B = Not yet into production for PAF
FC-20/J-10 induction around 2013/2014
Integration= add couple of years+ 2016/2017
Too Late
the forcast of 150 Thunder by 2015 would only be sufficient to replace say 8 squadrons. AESA equipped??
By jf-17 we got expieriance.
and tomorrow we can develop our own medium weight or 5th generation aircraft.
i dnt like j-10 or j-10B becasue it is 80% similar to the jf-17 after the upgrades.Pakistan budget is between 4-6Bn.and India is +30Bn.
so we cannot match them in quality and quantity both.
they dnt even consider pakistan as a threat except our nukes and Missile tech.
By exporting jf-17 we will get 50% profit.
and should invest in SAM tech like the israel-indo Barak missile
Only way to catch IAF is to develop our economy till the 2020.And then buy f-35 or J-xx.or dnt go for j-10B and and invest 5 Billions in the J-xx project,,1 Billion or less per year frm the defence budget and stick with only jf-17 blocks till J-xx is ready
