Bro @ isi i m just talking about the money if we have we can can go for a new joint venture with china on a 4.5 or 5 gen. For example we had invest in JF 17 500 million dollar initially and look qwhat we have today a true fighter jet if we invest more 1 billion $ we can convert this jet a true multi role can made engines avionics and strong composites for air frame then it can handle more load and longer range so all is money we have already knowledge to do so

RAF Eurofighter Typhoons 'beaten by Pakistani F-16s'

Three-nil, apparently. Brit flyboys 'shocked'

Pakistani pilots flying modernised versions of the 1970s-vintage F-16 Falcon fighter have beaten the RAF's brand-new Eurofighter Typhoon superfighters during air combat exercises in Turkey, according to a Pakistani officer.

So your point is that whats the point of buying a jet which is already got beaten by our F-16s, by PAF pilots? I don't treat these exercises in much esteem....

They are controlled exercises...in a controlled environment...Sometimes competing forces deliberately under perform in such exercises to make other force show and reveal their true and all skills, resulting in learning from them and improving their own tactics...

Typhoon is formidable beast....Lets see what PAF is thinking...

Every second week, a new aircraft emerges on these pages. Su35, then mirage 2000 and now typhoon. Hope we will get one

Can't afford F-16 without aid dreaming typhoon will remain a dream :P

On serious, if all this second hand fighter can get for 5-6 billion dollar should buy this expensive toys or try to get Chinese flanker as SU-35 dream seems fading. Or revive J-10 procurement again to supplement F-16 and keep as insurance if F-16 becomes unavailable.
The Italians were offering Romania the 24 second-hand Typhoons for $1.1bn and Spain was offering its planes to Pero for $60-70m a unit. Both included a support package of some kind as well (likely 3-5 years).

Honestly, let's just wait and see. I am too tired to dream, would rather see how things go (or don't go).

ACM Sohail Aman has visited Italy where he was given Guard Of Honour.
Is there any possibility of purchasing Tranche 1/2 aircrafts from Italy. .??
yea what a great thread.. guard of honour earns you the chance to buy some jets.

wait .. Gen Raheel Sherif got a guard of honour in USA too.. what does that mean? F22?
 
.
This European beast is white elephant...F16 is still the best.
 
.
What's wrong with those who think they're Arab thinking of spending billions buying and upgrading Typhoons?
when they use weapons them to randomly kill innocent civilians. i personally feel they do it on purpose. what i have to say about arabs..... words should no be heard by anyone with a heart.

That diplomat article is written by an Indian but still,

"Yet 32 years later, despite pouring $2.6 billion into the LCA vortex, the IAF still doesn’t have a fully functional fighter"

2.6 billion dollars. Did you also take inflation in account?
Isn't that after 2013. Initially $83 million was allocated when the project started

there old and were considering scrapping them to save money and possibly replace them with 3b's

EFT trench-1 old and for scrap? Countries are still using F-16 bloc-15 (many MLUed)-52 and they are still potent fighter jets how trench one is old and obsolete?

Yes and soon we would hear something about it. PAF chiefing meeting with Ishaq Dar few days ago and now his visit to Italy they are not just random meetings they are all connected to each other

Hope Aster15/30 block-1 &1NT is also discussed for PAF n PN.

But i cannot say something about block 3. But i know that it will matchless of its class. It will be superior than Gripen, F16, and tje hornet.
Gripen may be!, F-16 may be, tejas may be but not hornet or superhornet

Italy has (or had in 2013) 24 Typhoons available for sale from its stocks. Spain was looking to sell 18 Tranche 1s.

If purchased by PAF, what they will add to PAF's capabilities? Do they need to be upgraded soon? Wil they come with 5th gen WVR missiles and Meteor BVR?
