PAF is getting Rafale or Typhoon

[Owais]

The PN air wing does not have Mirage-IIIs. It only has P3s, Atlantiques, and helicopters. The Mirage-III/ V are with the PAF.

PN have no aircraft carrer. PAF's mirage III/5 protect the naval fleet. we may get F10 (naval version) to replace these jets in future.:thumbsup: . some claims that J10 can easily kill mig29SMT. is this true??

 

[Neo]

Do we have a naval version of the J-10?

Sure with the right tactics and training the J10can Kill a Mig-29, just as Mig-21 Bisons were "killing" F-15s in Cope India 2004.

As far as I understand, the US fielded downgraded F-15s in Cope India 2004.

It was repeated in Cope India 2005 in AWACS environment.
The F-15s still got clobbered by Mig-21 Bison.

A naval version J-10B was planned but there is no confirmation if it has been made or tested.

yes they did and that wuz just a ploy to boost indians ego a bit and scare the congress to give more funding for the f-22 raptor . an F15 can take down a su30 any day.

In what basis? Lets just say you were talking that Su-30MKI would take on F-15 any day. The only advantage F-15 has and that is its long range, and of course if you going to get F-15 customized version or the latest version compare to Su-30MKI they will probably be close, but if your going to compare standard F-15 fighter than trust me Su-30MKI which is a customized version of Su-30 series would win it every time baby.

There were rumours in this line on the internet.But the USAF did come back to India with their AWACS,if they wanted to convince the senate/congress they wudnt have done that.

Actually the Typhoons or a Rafale is far superior in terms of avionics than to the MKI that India operates rigth now. We'll just have to wait after the 126 MRCA deal from India to pass, if India chooses Rafale than most likely PAF would never have a chance to buy these, but if they chose elsewhere than PAF may just might have a chance though.

But, imho the Typhoons or the latest Gripen E/F (AESA model) would be the safest choice for the PAF. No political bullsh*t from the Brits who are dieing to get a few typhoon exports and Sweden is always there as a friend to assist the PAF's requirements and already Pakistan had purchased a few Swedish AWAC's, so don't count out the Grips just yet.

Topic being closed since the decision to buy F-16s and J-10s has been taken. No more Typhoon and/or Rafale for PAF. If anyone wants to discuss these ACs separately, please open a new thread. Thnx
