PAF suspends “Air Force Development Plan 2025,” says report

This is what it states regarding the current conditions of funding:

Quote:
The Committee was informed about the continuous efforts and innovative ways of indigenization of Air Force planes as well as other equipment including joint ventures and joint up-gradation facilities/arrangements with friendly countries. The Committee was however informed that budgetary constraints were not only increasing liabilities but hampering the up-gradation and development efforts.

and...

Quote:
In response to a query by the Chairman of the Committee, the Chief of Air Staff informed that PAF had formulated a long term plan called AFDP 2025 and had been effectively implementing it from 2003-04 to 2007 but the national resource constraints thereafter have caused some delays and postponements.

a far cry from the "not receiving a single penny since 2007" that our journalists came up with!
It only mentions "some delays and postponements", not downright "shelving" or "cancellation" of any major defense programs.

a very interesting point

so it means that no plan or defence program is cancelled yet..even if funds are provided now..the program can very well continue

...have caused some delays and postponements.[/B]

I wonder if those delays include JF-17...

Anyways, media is busted yet again. Really irresponsible reporting by these journos and sensationalist headlines.

the bunyias joy is short lived
Isn't this what everyone assumed anyway- that the 2025 deadline had simply been pushed back? The question now is just by how long-5 years? 10?

Delay is still bad news.

All that time and money PAF invested in JF-17 later blocks, FC-20 will go to waste.
Delay=out dated platforms, even if these planned upgrades make it through in the future, they will be essentially playing catch up on what our adversary already fields.

Funds will not be issue for sure all big procurement takes time along payments can be done in small installments I Beleive after COVID 19 PAF will have more chances to get desired jetts or tools beacuse all western countries will look for business to kick start theior economies and offering soft loan or line of credit is best stimulas to theior economies and jobs it would be race for new orders military business is biggest business in the world and Pak is one big buyer with huge requirements in near future

So what is the end result for them? Look at them today trying to justify them selves to everyone and trying prove them selves righteous. The mess they are in today is all of their own making. I mean this nation could have tolerated their corruption and every thing. What was the point to go to the extent of destroying us. We are not going to fade in vain cause few leaders had change of heart. Those leaders will suffer.
