I am not expert at all, but IMO, Girpen have powerful engine then JfT, Secondly Meteor is of similar class of PL 15 and PL 21 wss larger weight and range missile then PL15
PN will not change airframe by them , this project will be give it to some foreign expert company..
Additionally range can be extended by adding more fuel tanks in cargo region ( as done to modify line1000 from E190 by Embraer)
Jf17 having PL21 or something similar (other long range missile) has very less chances , as PLAAF public info integrated PL21 and tested on flankers and may be on J20 but not on J10, so they will be integrated on heavyweight fighters most probably
Turkish cant modify anything without American...
Hope one day someone will otherwise just external credit and import of defense equipment will continue, ....poor output of HIT, POF etc will continue like that and pockets of few individuals will continue to grow

Is there any possibility that we can see both western VLS and Chinese VLS together on our upcoming Jinnah-class (based on milgem class)
Totally agree even we just count E190 and E195 they are aroud 800 plus these are same of lineage 1000.
If we include other family of E series numbers go much browned.. they are almost same jet with minor capacity and engine change ..
PN has taken very wise decision and sensible path of Embraer...
Lineage have double fuel capacity then E190 due to additional fuel tanks in cargo area.
If these tanks added to E190 cargo area it can become something Similar thematically
500 plus E190 exits around world
Note E190 + additional fuel tank = lineage 100
If we exclude specialed VIP interior of...
You are totally right , but my point why we are wasting tons of iron, we can use the iron for construction of new ship, even not war ship .. it can used for commercial ship
Hope that project will be given to PAC by PN,
even if not the full project but alteast partnership with any foreign vendor, so PAC can do in future for some future birds and maintenance
Seems like that, additional to lineage 1000 is will open option of 500 plus (E190) used jets can be purchased and modify for PN (sea sultan) or even PAF in future
If i am not wrong E190 will cheaper then Lineage 1000
@Bilal Khan (Quwa) do you think R&D give any output with out any actual allocation of funds to R&D not to pockets, secondly we need some technology trasfer or partnership for any actual heli program to kichoff , which agian need heavy investment (which we dont have) ..
After investment of money...
