The FGFA is good 15-20 yrs away by that time PAF would be considering TFX or some 6th Gen weapon systems.Interim aircraft may provide a time-pressed solution to the IAF threat, but their strategic impact in the balance of power in South Asia will be ultimately short-lived. Factor in the delivery time and crew training, and you will end up with a platform that will be unable to maintain some semblance of parity once IAF inducts the FGFA.
As quoted earlier 4 th generation are a must for Indian Air Force but for PAF there is no need because it has got two already.
Please read my reply to @Humble Analyst post # 140 above.Wall with Afghanistan? Donald Trump much?
Seriously though, that would be too expensive. We should just try to keep things contained in Afghanistan via surgical strikes and negotiations.
Surgical strikes can only be a short term solution but not permanent.
