Pakistan interested in buying 30-40 J-31s

[Muhammad Omar]

time for j-10s has passed

nope.. PAF still can get them

 

[maximuswarrior]

I do not think PAF will order them now

Don't be too sure. Pakistan still has the requirement of a decent long range fighter to protect CPEC and naval assets. JF-17 won't suffice. J-10 is certainly a more likely candidate. Particularly J-10C.

J-31s are the future for PAF.

Not a mistake. The Chinese number their planes a generation behind. In their reasoning, F-35 will be a 4th generation fighter too. While the F-18 is a 3rd generation.

Thanks for the info. The author should have clarified since it can't be taken granted

Chinese have a different ranking system.

First of all every of our defense talk should not start with the word "India". We have many other countries to handle. And some of them are situated very much far away from Pakistan. India wants to keep us busy with and focused only on India. So, we need to have a partial focus on India, but an active one.
Secondly, possibilities from TFX program must also be included while talking about upgrading PAF and Pakistani aviation fleet.
Thirdly, Pakistans economic expansion may enable us to buy more than 30 to 40 birds. May be 50 or more(Inshallah, aameen).

Yes we should always start with
Bismillah

What ever you say
OUR BIGGEST BADDEST ENEMY IS ONLY INDIA

we have other also but the quality and quality of their enemity is less and lower

J-10's are unlikely.

A more advanced block of the JF-17 can be configured to a similar configuration of a J-10C.

Also its very early to call J-31 the future of the PAF fleet.

In terms of avionics and armaments it can be quite similar.

Janes knows nothing much of Pakistan and Chinese military development. Take their report with a pinch of salt.

I think J10 and Su30 are only option if F16 are not available to replace Mirage night attack deep strike sqn 25 and 27, after 2020

As long as JF-17 can provide a longer range suited for naval purposes you are right.

I think J-10C is a more likely candidate.

You probably meant Su-35. I think a Russian fighter is unlikely. Our relations are improving rapidly, but the Russians aren't going to anger their Indian counterparts with this sale.

China can gurantee Su-35 sales to PAF. Look out for the PLAAF Su-35. After China evaluate the Su-35, they will head to gwadar area and station there mainly for PAF uses. It might happen late 2017 or 2018. Russia has value China strategic partnership more than India. Same as how Russia defy India and approved China re sales of RD-93 engines to PAF.

what you think pakistan will buy from china ? and can pakistan take TOT of fc31

 

[Hassan Guy]

Possibly is the answer to both of those questions.

It is still in very early stages of talk. The most important is PAF must committed to FC-31 project to inject funds that allow itnto advance further.

It's better for PAF to comfirm a few batches of FC-31 to speed up induction before talking about localize.
