Kamikaze - Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaCan anyone give me one single appropriate reason for Pakistani Navy to acquire fighter jets?
To free up the PAF and allow it to concentrate on protecting and striking land-based targets. Air Force aircraft can be used to penetrate Indian air space or protect Pakistan's, the naval air arm can clear the skies over water, attack naval assets of adversaries and if necessary add another strike or defensive element that can compliment the PAF.
The reason is the same as any nation operating both a naval and conventional air arm, it adds flexibility and compounds an adversaries concerns, which forces them to spend more to counter new capabilities or divert assets from existing stores to shore up new problem areas.
Perhaps the reason this isn't being done is limited funds, resources to support over-sea air patrols/strikes, such as tankers, command and control, operational and maintenance experience and doctrine, which sees the PAF be responsible for air-patrol, strike and air defense - similar to how the US Army was once in control of the Air Force.
Unless China is willing to part with some of its J-XX series, or Russian relations are improved to where they'd supply Pakistan with naval-oriented aircraft, or the West decides the same, it's going to be a bit hard for Pakistan to acquire dedicated naval air assets - land-based of course, unless Pakistan is looking to acquire an aircraft carrier, create artificial islands to base aircraft out of, or develop LHAs to support VTOL maritime aircraft.
It's unclear whether or not the J-15 will be cleared for export, I've noticed more indications that it wont be, but it's a solid maritime-oriented strike platform:
Maybe a bit too expensive though.
Israeli support for Iran during the Iran–Iraq war - Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaIran clearly said that they won't allow any country..(be it US) inside their port if they in engaging war with any one..So option for indian navy to use iranian ports during war goes to dustbin.
For brilliants, hint is more than enoughI will be glad if we stay on same boat a.k.a on topic
I follow this forum from long ago and found your posts sensible...i wanna have claim that "IN will use iran ports during war"
Exactly.Why they will provide help to baniyas?
Ok leave it..in that case you should have goood relation with iran then nothing will happen( good relation means fine trade...because nowadays there no friendship b/w any countries its just self interest)
Not bad choice very economical.Ok...you have a point..every one should be carefull these days...its a race run or get crushed by your opponent.
[off topic]I have small doubt china is only country investing in pakistan? I never heard other news regarding foriegn investment [off topic]
What about naval version of jf-17?
What is the Best fighter jet for Pakistan Navy Aviation?
1) F-18 Super Hornet
2) Typhoon
3) Rafale
4) Su-35BM
5) J-10B
6) Gripen
7) Mig-35D
8) J-11B
If Pakistan Navy Aviation has fighter jets it can protect ports itself without help from Pakistan Air force.
Getting fighter jets for Pakistan Navy Aviation will directly benefit Pakistan Air force because Pakistan Air force can save time to do other Air Defense activists.
No wonder you get -ve ratings on regular intervals....want a piece of advice???? think before you speakThese are good too. But PN needs SU-27s with upgrades and FREE too

I don't think we need an air asset to do what you are proposing . I think JH7 and its iterations would be taking a step back rather than forward. However i do fully accept a need for a twin engined platform for protective cover for the platforms like P3s which go out hunting for IN platforms and sub sea assets.Hi,
The need is a deep strike aircraft that can reach south india's beach cities and naval installation,
The strike from the sea can be directed from different directions at different targets---just look at the map of Pakistan and india. That brings in un-predictability to the strike element.
JF17 does not have the legs to reach MUMBAI.

the distance from Karachi to Mumbai is 2000 km and jft can reach there with total safety ie escaping radar range it would be 3000 kmHi,
The only place that india is vulnerable is it coastline. And to manipulate it---you need an aircraft with long legs and a heavy load. With its 2500 miles + combat radius---it can close in on the target from multiple directions.
So---when you say it is taking a step backwards----please----not in words----but in technical terms. Just saying " I don't believe in it is not enough " is not enough---what are the technical aspects of the aircraft that is an issue.
Until and unless Mumbai is not under the strike range---Pakistan does not control over the battle.
the distance from Karachi to Mumbai is 2000 km and jft can reach there with total safety ie escaping radar range it would be 3000 km
so jft has long legs
Hey,
But whenever I talked technical issues with PN cadets at Tuzla, their first ever priority was always been supporting and upgrading the surface/subsurface fleet, most importantly the frigates. So I don't expect such a procurement.
