Pakistan should replace F-16 with F-35 ?

[prototype]

It is not easy task but also not impossible.This is right time to plan and take decision after five years it will be too late.

Pakistan can buy F35 with financial support of Saudia as we developed our nukes and missile technology.

This is not called elaboration
An f-35 will cost around $300(life time cost),that means even if u go for 50 jets u have to pay $15 billion

Now $15 billion for just 50 planes,do u know how much Jf-17's,or j-10's u can purchase with that money

so it turns out that ur overall strength will b heavily affected,if u go for F-35's,based on ur current economic situation,which does not seems to improve in recent times,given u does not have extra $15 billion to spend on just 50 planes

what make u think Saudi will help to for this,why will they pay this money,what benefit it will bring to their society,what should b the reason they should go for it-Islam brotherhood,there is also a thread present here about loan's provided to Bangladesh from Arab league at very high interest.

Finally what make u think U.S will provide it to u

now just have a look at this

Norway says it cost them $20.43 billion for 48 F-35's

that is some $ 425 million per plane(life time cost)

Norway says lifetime cost of U.S. jets $20.4 bln By Reuters

can u really afford that

Agreed with present economic condition we can not afford even F16 but we need restructuring of Taxation system,Education system and Industrial and Trade Policy .

We have resources just we need to streamline them .

J-10 life time cost indeed cheaper than 300 million, but it still goes to 150-200 million USD

How you know the production rate?

F-35 factory: One aircraft per day by 2016

 

[waraich66]

F-35 factory: One aircraft per day by 2016

Modern warplanes typically have been built in small quantities over the course of many years. The Navy’s F/A-18, which has been in production for more than 20 years, is being built at a rate of 42 aircraft per year. But the F-35 Lightning II is expected to be built at an unprecedented rate — as many as 230 fighters per year.

With current production rate 2300 F35 can be Manufactured in next ten years upto 2020.

Expected sale is more than 6000 in next 20 years.

Can you stop misleading? US place 2300+ order.

There are a counties were called program partner.


And there are a counties are RICH, like Japan 30 times economic scale of Pakistan, and Japan is not a partner. Japan get F-15 in 1980s, do you think you can get F-35 before Japan?

and 230/year in 2016!

 

[waraich66]

We should have minimum 50 F35 latest by 2020.

It's also funny how people here are already speculating price and performance of a 5th Gen Chinese fighter that does not even exist on paper. So far, the best known Chinese Fighter is the Su-30MKK which is a Russian import.

Su30MKK is using as fighter-bombers in China,not air superiority.
About 5th'g you don't know don't means not exist.
