A NEW AIRCRAFT FOR PAF

[Falcon26]

Potentially a Chinese Flanker knockoff, if the source is to be believed. In that case meh! It just adds infrastructural problems with limited benefits. If it's an Typhoon, then it's a huge jump and will restore the quality balance in the region.

A PAF that operates 110 F-16s, 40 Typhoons and ~250 JF-17 supported by Erieye and Chinese AWACS is one hell of a nightmare for any Air Force.

Typhoon with the Captor aesa radar would rule the skies of south asia....should definitely go for it...it would checkmate anything our adversary already has or would have
Secondly the Typhoon story gets a little bit of credibility from the fact that it was recently flown from Lincolnshire by our very own ACM Aman

 

[Blue Marlin]

The only other option is the Typhoon, which has been pitched to the PAF and has two reliable partners in the form of the UK and Italy, but then finances are questionable.
There is no way it's a Grippen, Sweden has refused in the past and Pakistan won't ask again. The SU-35 is an impossibility due to Indian pressure.

the typhoon is possible but its a 10 year old's wish list and they wont be ready till 2023 which is when pakistan will induct the 5th gen fighter so no need. remember oman ordered the typhoons in 2012 and are getting them in 2017 and that was when they needed orders and kuwait has ordered them recently so there is a backlog

Can't pay and won't pay are two different things.

That's what i am saying Su 35 is impossible due to indian pressure EFt is the only choice

 

[Centurion2016]

Euro Fighter Typhoon was designed fromm the outset to be the best fighter in nhe world to tackle the Flankers and mig29S

many experts claim in pure air superiority role the Typhoon is second only to F22 raptor even today.

40 meteore equipped Typhoons would give even 100 flankers a nightmare.

PAF need to find a way to pay $8 billion to buy them.

Saudi can help you.

 

[Benign Persona]

ooooh what is that?

EF 2000

Fifth generation jets will be a very small number and inducted slowly. The Typhoon will be just as important then. You're right about Oman.
Oh well, we will just have to wait and see. It would be great for us, if Pakistan does pick the jet.

Its called "Ladoo" , its a type of sweet ..

not looking very tasty in that particular picture though

Not to mention the many meetings between Italy and Pakistan recently

i think its fan boys fan flaring here so no need yes they typhoons would keep indian rafale in check (when ever they ome) also the newer 3b variant is also being considered but us lot as we may buy 48 of them.
that will run rings around anything in asia.

ok thanks

 

[Beethoven]

Its a win win situation isnt it.....purchase of Typhoons may open up other avenues of co operation like Aesa for thunders and who knows we may opt for EJ 200 for JF 17s to maintain engine commonality of our fleet

 

[Abingdonboy]

Though Mirage 2000-9 is 2nd hand option, Rafale is too expensive.Mig35 is most feasible but PAF is most interested in Su35 ..........

- Mirage 2000-9:
https://defence.pk/threads/open-deb...for-paf-aye-or-nay.293790/page-8#post-5150536

-Rafale is a non-starter because of India

-MiG-35- Same as above

-Su-35- Same as above


The EFT is probably the only non-Chinese/American MMRCA that the PAF could conceivebly get at this point.

 

[Shah Xaib]

According to Haris Khan PDF PAF is buying 40 HighEnd Aircrafts very soon they not chines or Americans .PAF looking to used F16 via Jorden but these 40 r New and would be a third type .No J20 or J31 at this moment.

JAS 39/j10

India no longer has much leverage over Russia and it has been consistently going down by the day.

If Pakistan is seriously interested, Russia would surely sell both SU-35s and MIG-35s
