dont know why i am feeling PAF will go for TFX and it is because:
1: according to the ACM Amaan, the PAF needs to think in terms of beyond fifth-generation designs, such as the J-20 and F-35.
2: By the time the PAF’s next-generation fighter will come to service, market would already be filled up with same class of fighter jets, so PAF should keep in mind the future threats and develop a solution that could harness the advances of tomorrow.
3: in pursuit of next generation fighter PAF will certainly do the partnership with any other country, and the first stop would be china but keeping in mind the future threats it is very possible that PAF can rather join the hands in Turkish TFX program
