PAF is passing through a modernization phase currently according to current Chief of the Air Staff Air Chief Marshal Sohail Aman. We are working to evolve JF-17 Thunder Project as it is a destiny of PAF & we are looking forward for many such projects in the future in order to make our airforce able to tackle any kind of challenges.
PAF retired 250 Chinese built F-6 jets in the beginning of 21st century which created a large gap in the numbers against our adversary. Those jets were technologically deprived but still the numbers gap created which needs to be fulfilled still after more than a decade.
Again Chinese built A-5s were retired with the induction of state of the art Thunders but now the next rising question is of the retirement of obsolete French built Mirages & Chinese F-7s. Though, both of these aircrafts are being upgraded by PAF but still they are not fit to serve in the modern battlefield. The sole purpose of their service is the presence of MIG-21s & other past generation jets in IAF.
PAF has to replace more than 300 jets in the near future for which JF-17 Thunders are being inducted. Other options are both from Asia & West. EF-2000, F-16V, Su-35 & J-11 are some options which need proper govt funding & diplomatic efforts to procure them for PAF. This article is a 'FOOD FOR THOUGHT' for PDF members to come & discuss it with their worthy opinions & analysis.
