I agree with you. I've been preaching here this same thing. The PAF needs advance aircrafts.
That's logical. But the bigger question was upgrading PAF's Erieye's to GlobalEye standards. I'd be curious to know the differences.
I wasn't referring to any linkage between the two. I was asking about the upgrade as it seems the Swedes are using the GlobalEye and scrapping off the Erieye, making it a legacy system. Which would tell me the GlobalEye has a lot more capability and thus, the PAF should upgrade to that standard...

That's why I am very surprised. They lack the technical base to build a Hypersonic anything. Let alone a functional projectile. Do you have any more details on it?
Does China has a specific use case? I know the US was after two use cases for which, it's solved the issues. Now as the tech matures and more experience is gained, more range will be added on.
The use cases included LASER for anti-missile systems for USAF + USN and USN naval protection by...
Diplomacy with the US on 5th gen platform? That won't happen. Even to Israel, India and Japan, the US is willing to provide jets, not ToT or deep engineering dive. I can see it changed in the future especially for India and LM has been very keen to allow them to manufacture jets in India as it...
That's actually inaccurate. The US has deployed operational LASER weapons throughout it's Naval and Air assets. I can understand that the range might be limited to a 25 miles or less, but it's sufficient to take out approaching enemies on land, air and sea irrespective of the weather. Take a...
5+ ton is normal with 9-11 hardpoints. JFT is lighter with a reduced performance engine compared to the fighters it's trying to compete against like the Gripen, etc. If, like originally thought it to be a replacement for Mig-21 and Mirage 3-5's in the world (thousands retiring), then that's a...
I can personally assure you, there is a LOT more than just a battery included in this power pack :). What R&D systems are being used in China for long range LASER weapons? I know there are a few projects ongoing,
Chinese stocks in the US markets and other asset classes are getting hammered. There is an extremely strong sentiment in the US market and the legal system to delist the Chinese instruments. I think it's a matter of time. One giant brokerage firm called it "an inevitable step coming". Matches...

Some of your arguments are valid and some are very off. For example, yes, it's obvious that Rafale is a medium class aircraft while the JFT is light weight. However, the JFT isn't a "point defense" fighter. With it's payload limitations, it's still a very potent multi-role platform. If it had...
These things sound great. But equally important focus and one of the highest priority needs to be given to counter defense systems, such as long range SAMs, BVR missiles and more than anything, to protect military assets, C-RAM systems.
It's not recovering, it's just stopped dropping like crazy. It's called finding "support". The little jump is due to oversold conditions.
The dollar is expected to hit 200 PKR or more I believe.
Could there be any Chinese cooperation in North Korea developing Hypersonic vehicles? I find it almost impossible to believe that a nation cut off from the entire globe, constantly under sanctions, is somehow able to produce top end tech like hypersonic vehicles.
These news will start to come out more and more, leading into people's opinions made towards sanctions. I mentioned it before the US withdrawal. A very active foreign policy is much needed for Pakistan at this critical time.

It's been "transactional" or you've kept it that way and didn't know how to manage it? The later is the truth here. Every time a nation to nation relationship is built and managed by militaries, it never gets to the Public. Results is this relationship.
