First of all, it is 'she', because she is a lady. Secondly, She is a very senior and highly regarded member of this forum. Please mind you attitude when referring to seniors.

speculations by him

You are talking about Ex PAF person who still has connections ... Few of the members here to whose statement I consider as a source in itself and you are talking about one of them ...

I personally think PAF will design a single engine 5th gen fighter around ws-15(A Modern version required for 5th gen fighter). And will develop required technologies with help from turkey and china.

Sounds like someone who thinks the JF-17 is based on the MiG-21 would say...

Regardless of who says it,don't you think it will be a joint venture like the thunder ?
Or will Paf try to build it 'indigenously' like the Tejas ? If that's the case then it seems pretty far fetched that we would accomplish that even after a decade from now.

The reality is that based on the info available, we don't know what this 5th gen program actually is...so the guy saying, "it's an attempt at J-31 ToT with Turkish flavour" is either pushing an unsubstantiated opinion or is fabricating facts. That's why I brought in the JF-17/MiG-21 thing, because it's essentially the same thing - "how do you know?"

Anyways, the PAF ACM said that the 5th gen program is with AvDI in PAC. He also didn't bring up China (yet) and in an April interview said the PAF will work with Turkey in a next-gen fighter. At present the info given is pretty vague and only time will provide structure. Anything else is guesswork, which can be good at times, but is by nature tentative and not fact.

Yup.
All is vague atm.

I would not consider it a valid source, just a word of mouth, speculation or a wish list. Even she said to wait for official word, which means it's not a done deal. Maybe it was an option being looked at by PAF considering the increased payload but probably didn't happen. Else we would have heard it from the various PAF interviews that boast Thunders capabilities at every possible turn, so it's safe to assume we can put that in the 'nice to have' bucket for now

Hi,

Before we do that---can we hang those members who fought vehemently for the F16's on this board---.

sir , they've got no balls of shame

@mods please check his IP

the only thing indigenous about Tejas are the hollow claims, everything else including the engineers come from one of the 37 countries struggling to put that junk together

Thank God for those F-16s and their associated DB110 reconnaissance pods that helped save countless Pakistani lives as they enabled us to digitally terrain map FATA and make targeting TTP and other terrorists possible.

For more information, read the August's Air Forces Monthly article on PAF's ISR efforts.

In the interim I will let the ill-wishers of Pakistani armed forces hang themselves

I have a question about the new PAF's AW-139 helicopters. News reported they were part of No. 80 SAR squadron. Any idea where is it based? Is it raised for PAF Bholari currently being built?
