Pakistan announces 5th-gen fighter and medium-altitude long-endurance UAV programs

[Muhammad Omar]

Are we making a stealth drone or a stealth plane alongside a drone?
I'm kind of confused after reading this article.

A 5th Generation Plane which is Stealth and a Medium Altitude Long Endurance UAV (Drone)

Some USA senators are pushing hard to suspend delivering F35A to Turkey, the reason is They deem Turkey is becoming a dictatorship under Erdogan's lead. Seems it's a right decision Turkey starts TFX project.

We are already acquiring 36 Rafale. And if you call SU 30 MKI an aged fighter, then kiddo, you need to learn a lot. Better learn from senior Pakistanis.

So what is the plan? When we hear first crush of Rafale?

Paf is going in correct directions.It will take time to develop a fifth generation aircraft but something is better than nothing.Inshallah we will get 5th gen fighter very soon.

Current fleet procurement strategy !
*F-16 + Mirage direct purchase
*JF-17 home grown-investment-industrial partnership

Pakistan is stabilizing the allies well with operating Western (F-16) and Chinese (Home-grown JF-17) fighters so Replacement of those fighters will also be done with same principles.

Next procurement scenario !
*Pakistan F-16s will be replaced with another Western class fighter (TF-X/F-35/Rafale)
*JF-17 will be replaced with another Chinese fighters (J-31 or J-20)

The gold question is Which fighter project Pakistan is going to select for investment/industrial partnership/joint-production-exportation to boost industrial capabilities ? I bet my money on TF-X.

i dont think pakistan can get thier hands on the F-35, i dont think they want it either since its problematic and expensive

China and Turkey must try their best to help Pakistan!


Check the fact before you spew shit here.


it depends what China offers. I think both China and Turkey will help PAF.

This cake is too big, non of us can chew it alone.

If China offers J20,.......

It's ok to share cake with Turkey.

i highly doubt china will offer j20

The "home grown" 5th gen will essentially be the J31 with customized tweaks for the PAF, the Turks contribute by what they have so far learned in their journey on the TAI and will gain by what the Pak-Chinese consortium have developed.

In the launch ceremony for Aviation City it was said the new fighter will not be based on any current designs it will be a new design.

 

[Avicenna]

Pretty sure its gonna be a novel design with collaboration between PAF and Chengdu.

Apparently PAF is more interested in J20. And Per their long term cooperation with CAC, they will join hands with CAC to develop a customized design based on J20.

A lot will be borrowed from the 31 and 20 (structurally more from the 31), just wait and see. Not having to reinvent the wheel is not exactly a bad thing.

the design may have the same philosophy as of how the f-35 design philosophy was copied for the south Korean and turkey -FX projects ..
