We already have F-16 and two other 4.5 Gen Fighters will be J-10 B and JF-17
Well PAF historically has always maintained 2 types of western and 2 types of eastern aircraft in her inventory.
So this is what they would be doing with an exception that the Eastern would now be raised to 3 types.

So against 05 main Indian aircrafts i.e Mig-29, Mirage-2000, LCA, Su-30mki & Rafale, Pakistan shall be using only 03 main aircrafts i.e F-16s, Jf-17 & J-10. I think we are lacking Grippen fighter right now. However after getting PakFa by India, Pakistan has to struggle for the J-20 instead of J-31.

Nope both are not 4.5gen birds... F 16 hold better teeth than these too.. jf 17 ?? an 4.5gen jet??

3 are enough to counter Indias 4.5 Generation Fleet and PAK FA us years away

@MastanKhan sir India is Buying Rafale for Airforce and it is expected that Indian Navy will also buy Rafale for Carrier..
and I think neither Jf-17 blk II nor Jh-7b are able to come near to rafale.

To handle IN & IAF at coastal areas and deep sea only J-11B and higher series is the answer as they got power, endurance, weapons package and avionics to take all threat posed by those.

I hope both sides will give a big surprise, for example two squadrons of J10b.

I will be more happy if both sides go for J-11B or higher series with 5th gen avionics, as they are the need of time. :pakistan::china:

There is a correction to my last post on the subject of having 3 types. Pakistan also operates J-6 and K-8 in training and are also capable to attack lightly guarded targets.

Today when the threat has increased from the vegi lovers and Tango's PAF requires a bigger quantity. In the past PAF was able to buy as many mirages from France but now this is not possible for the F-16's as America is a different ball player.
PAF would have to find an alternate, it is agreed that JF-17's and J-10's(if inducted) would give a platform that can be updated and sanction free but the demand and supply gap will not be filled as required.

PAF does not have an air superiority fighter so F-16's would have to perform this role. This leaves a question how is the PA going to be suported

The only realistic option is to add an other platform...Which one and from where is a ??

Now if we consider the requirement of PN they also require attack aircraft. We all know that JF-17's have been ordered but when will they enter service ? Are they going to cover the entire area that has increased ?

PA requires air support for this the Heli's are going to fill the gap but what about there air cover?

I was about to make this thread :)
Details may be shown after president visit in Pakistan. Probably Pakistan will be looking for J10b in order to counter Rafales. So possibly 36 of them. But it may open up gates for J16 for our navy in coming future. (a heart full desire of many PDF members) way to go Pak China friendship :pakistan::china:

Awesome news! Awaiting eagerly for details! :pakistan::china:
 
.
From where do we get all the money to buy these jets and submarines? :o:


Anyway good news :cheers::enjoy:
 
.
F16 c d block 52 are much superior and tested machines than J10b, a bad decision if it happens.
