What's new

Pakistan begins talks with US for more F-16 and may be one more Oliver Hazard Class Frigate.

But we have all infrastructure for f16 and weaknesses and strong points of f16

But we don't or minimal infrastructure for j10c and development of of tactics takes years to be matured, think wisely man not emotionally man
We keep on singing the same old tune, we got the infrastructure for the F 16 then why not infrastructure for J10 was created a long time ago.
Sooner we make a headway for J10 infrastructure better it is for our survival. Indian Rafeal structure is going to take the same amount of time like our J10. We simply can't stomach the fact that the F 16 under sanctions is nothing more then a piece of metal and if push came to shove with the India we will be placed under the US sanctions. We have got no hope in hell chance to modernize our current fleet of F 16's and time and technology is moving away from us while we are standing at the gates of going broke. Why we have and continue to live in the fools paradise.
Since the Pulwama incident, time have moved on and Indian inventory is increasing in size and quality like there is no tomorrow, while we are at the stand still stage. We are only good at laughing at samosa Tejas and rest of the banter. What the same samosa alongside the Rafeal overwhelmed our PAF as we have failed to modernize our air force. Are we going to set up another Hammud ur Rehman commission that's all we are good at and then hide the report.
 
If we want it would be. There is no issue of Russia it's our mindset and not liking dual engine planes that much.
That's not how it works bro. China will never sell any J-11, J-15 or J-16 to PAF unless Russia gives them permission.

China has no problem in selling J-16 or J-15. China doesn't need permission.
 
US begins talk over F-16, US continue talks over F-16's...





Judgement Day happen, America still considering selling F-16 to Pakistan.

They need permission from Russia. Why do you think we approached Russia for flankers(SU-35) a couple of years ago and not China?

I repeat China can not sell any flanker without Russian permission. Brother I would love to see 3-4 J-16s squadrons in PAF, but we have to live with the reality.

Well because we wanted to go for the source plus no Chinese plane until than came close to SU-35. Plus, we wanted to improve our relations to SU-35. Even right now SU-35 only lacks AESA otherwise it's still better plane than compared Chinese ones.
 
If Pakistan wants, we can get them there is no issue. Only issue is our leadership until 5th generation jets wants to keep avoiding dual engine jets
This may be your personal assumptions but the fact is they can't export j-11 aka Su-27/ j-15 aka Su-33/j-16 aka Su-30MMK2 without Russian permission because design is RUSSIAN INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

DESIGN IS BASED ON Su-30MMK2
 
And why should we buy more F-16s? That would be stupid on our part.

China offers an alternative which is the J-10Cs, and we have the JF-17s to work with.

It will work out.

gone are the days of using American equipment in our arsenal, perhaps even forever.

lol, its not the 90's anymore.

We are living in 2022.

F-16 obsession will never end. Pakistan will take more even if they have beg for it.

As far as J-10C is concerned, it’s a logical choice. We need more 4.5 generation medium weight fighter jets to match against Rafale and SU-30.

IMHO, we should continue to make more JF-17 block 3 and eventually block 3.5/4.
250 to 300 JF-17 and 72 to 96 J-10C (split between PAF and Navy) should be good enough until other options are available.

They absolutely do have a problem selling the J-16s. This is why they never were able to offer an export version, even though it would be popular.
