No bro its all about money

When China was poor in 1960s they donated the F6 fighter it was bad copy of Mig

China said however this is the best we have right now maybe in future things will change

Pakistan took the jet and did best it could with it and never forgot the favour

Now China is building J20 and 12,000 ton destroyers like Type 055 like candy

Pakistan is too dependent to China from soft loan to defense equipment. Loosing Chinese trust is suicidal for Pakistan . It's the reality so Pakistan and other Muslim countries are mum on attrocities.

Do you mean no soft loan will be more beneficial to Pakistan?

So why are so many members on pdf getting their knickers in a twist when i point out a simple fact

because its a silly statement, its like he drank water because he was thirsty.
issue is Chinese give you these with almost whatever tech you desire, at reasonable price, without any hesitation with any if and buts attach to it.

You see bro thats a misconception. Here is why.
Shahid Lateef (air Marshal) who started the JF17 program is a good friend of mine. He told me how impossible it is to get anything out of the chinese. They are good tough business people. Thats fine. We in Pakistan have to accept this. There is nothing wrong with that. China needs us and we need China. There is no free lunch ever.

If you just believe that and it makes you happy then more power to you bro.

China begins work on Pakistani Type 054A frigate

China began the construction of an export version of its frigate last month and will deliver it to Pakistan as part of a major bilateral arms deal.

According to a press release by the China State Shipbuilding Corporation (CSSC), a large state-owned contractor, the warship will be equipped with modern detection and weapon systems and capable of anti-ship, anti-submarine and air-defence operations.

Further, the CSSC revealed that the ship is being constructed at its Hudong-Zhonghua shipyard in Shanghai.

The ship will be a Type 054AP, which means its design is based on the Type 054A belonging to the People's Liberation Army Navy (PLAN).

The contract between the Pakistani Navy and the CSSC for two Type 054AP frigates is believed to have been signed in 2017. A further contract for two more ships was announced in June 2018, when it was also indicated that the delivery of all four was expected by 2021.


China is an "all-weather ally" of Islamabad and the largest supplier of weapon systems to Pakistan.

The two countries established the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) project in 2013, which was intended to rapidly modernise Pakistan's infrastructure and strengthen its economy through the construction of transportation networks, numerous energy projects and special economic zones.

The Financial Times on Tuesday reported that China had pledged to lend at least US$2bn to Pakistan to bolster its foreign exchange reserves and avert a further devaluation of the rupee against the dollar.

However, Beijing has yet to officially announce the financial support.

I think the 4 ships were ok , before things got escalated with Indian , due to Indian attack on Pakistan , I think we should get 3 more ships in order to compensate for future aggressive moves by India
