@Contrarian, if importing LNG directly from Qatar costs Pakistan $19 per mmbtu then, how's it economically sensible for Pakistan to import it from India at $21 per mmbtu? Whereas the the expansive furnace oil cost us $20. Please enlighten me if possible. Thanks.

@HariPrasad, if not J-31 then which other 5th Gen platform would you suggest PAF go for (considering the Government/Country of the suggested platform will be willing to sell them to Pakistan)? Thanks.

What missile is Thunder carrying? And thanks for the nice upload.

@Munir, when you mentioned in an other thread that Pakistan NEEDS jets like Su-35 at Gwadar or "Pakistan's request for buying OTHER military equipment from Russia", was it in regards to discussion that we're having in this thread? Also, what's the status of Gwadar as of right now and, what...

Sir, is such an option indeed on the table for PAF or is it your assumption based on Sino-pak relationships? And assuming we do then, what kind of expertise or knowledge could we bring to such a project?

Sir, how can a laymen get a better understanding of his/her Air Force if not for the paper specification? Please don't get me wrong but, we've no reliable or agreed upon measure -at least by senior mods and members like yourself- to put the capabilities of an Air Force to litmus test. While, our...

True sir. Can't refute you there. But if its indeed a fact then, can we dig ourselves out of this predicament is also a question.

@araz, I guess sir that PAF only entertained the idea of J-10 to counter the IAF Rafale threat. Since it hasn't materialized yet and, may be PAF has the inside information/intelligence that it may never either as IAF is already stretched thin with LCA, MKI, PAK-FA and the indigenous effort to...

You men visible difference, right? Well, except for IFR which was already seen in one prototype at induction ceremony of 50th JF-17.

It won't be wise anyway to induct a 4.5 Gen platform and, that also not matured yet, this late in the game. The only and wise option is what PAF is doing, i.e., induct more vipers and MLU them to Block 52 standard while concentrating funds and efforts in Thunders. Its better to jump to 5th gen...

I see. . . Thanks @araz.

Doesn't J11B or J10 provide the same advantage?

@araz, your assessment makes sense sir and so does @Chak Bamu's. It's simply better to wait and watch instead of analyzing it prior to its occurrence. And lastly, what's your opinion/thinking on the matter that its the PLAN's intention for induction FC-1 and, not PLAAF? Any particular reasons?

I realize that nothing concrete has been penned down and, what we are discussing is purely "might happen scenerio." But, if you could bear with me a little longer then, could you put a finger on the Block that PLAN will opt for? Or will they upgrade the order as new Blocks are introduced as per...

@aliyusuf, How old is H'Khan's post? And can any senior member elaborate the significance of PLAN ordering PAC 300 FC-1 and, what would it mean for our Airforce? I mean from financial and business point of view?

Congratulations to Irani brethren. In today's world, the only guarantee of safe guarding ones sovereignty and interests is through strong and impregnable defense. And that also achieved via self sufficiency. Keep it up guys. Job well done. P.S, Wish our countries could collaborate in fields of...

@Windjammer, I'm from Jacobabad and would like to knowthat character of the man. i.e., Haseeb Paracha. Can you tell me moreabout the man? And, are our Chinese brethren wearing a digital came?

Really really hope that all these projects get completed as they don't only ensure millions of jobs but, also promise a long term prosperity of our nation.

Afghanistan needs every help it can and, God knows they deserve it. I'm happy that we (Pakistan) could contribute in our limited capacity. Our prayers are with Afghan people. God bless you all.

So true sir.
