JV with both Turkey and China will be beneficial for Pakistan. Investment should be on Anka +A and WJ-600 UCAV's. CASIC's WJ 600 Stealth UCAV is shaped like a cruise missile, with stealthy characteristics including a recessed turbofan engine to reduce its radar cross section. While the WJ-600...

30 Su-35S from Russia and 30 J-11D from China (with at least 40% of TOT rights) should be procured. TOT from China will give benefit for the maintenance of both fighters.

Best option would be to acquire Z-10s with TOT and then modernize it further with Turkey

Altay tank should also be brought here for testing,

5th Generation aircrafts:- United States F-35 (Operational) The F-35 has three main models: the F-35A conventional takeoff and landing (CTOL) variant, the F-35B short take-off and vertical-landing (STOVL) variant, and the F-35C carrier-based Catapult Assisted Take-Off But Arrested Recovery...

60 Su-35 would be a good figure for PAF.

Can these F-7s be utilized for training purposes?

The best solution would be to induct 60 J-10C with TOT. Its maintenance would definitely be less than twin engine aircrafts. And then induct J-31 from year 2025 onwards. For longe range SAMs, Chinese HQ-9 and HQ-16 with phased array radars are best suited and Pakistan can get more advanced...

Pakistan is getting 15 AH-1Z helicopters at an estimated price of $ 925 million, then $ 600 million seems affordable for advanced level training of F-16 and JF-17 pilots.

The T-50 Golden Eagle has digital fly-by-wire controls and hands on throttle and stick (HOTAS). The cockpit displays include two 127mm full colour Honeywell multifunction displays, Honeywell instrumentation displays and a head-up display (HUD) supplied by BAE Systems. The AN/APG-67(V)4...

U r saying that PAF has 99 F-16s right now.

J-11D seems more feasible than J-10 in replacing the mirage III/V aircrafts.

So there is a gap of 10 years, after which J-31 or J-20 will be inducted. But this 10 year gap should be filled with Su-35, J-11D or J-10C.

Best & cheapest solution will be to get the TOT of Chinese L-15 trainer and use same JF-17 avionics and weapons system for training.

In which area, Su-35 is more advanced than J-11D?

T-50 seems much better than Yak-130. The T-50 is designed to provide pilot training for current and next-generation fighters such as advanced F-16s, F-22s and the F-35 joint strike fighter. Indonesia awarded a $400m contract to KAI in May 2011 to supply 16 T-50s. When 15 AH-1Z Vipers costs a...

Mirage can also fire any thing which JF-17 can fire. So better to increase more cheap mirages.

J-11D or Su-35 is best for naval forces. However JF-17 block-II or III will be the other option.

That means further delay of J-10 or J-11.

Ground realities:- According to wikipedia, USA has 912 single engine F-16s as against the total of 645 twin engine aircrafts (F-15s, F-22, F-35). For winning of Su-30 against F-16s, please read the following (its mentioned in another thread):- By Arming India Correspondent NEW DELHI...
