First and foremost if-17 is a light fighter that doesn't cover all areas of operation. F-16 doesn't either. If Pakistan gets j31 they'll be operating a twin engined medium class for the first time... still lacking behind... although Pakistani pilots are world class... reports in Pakistan say that Indian pilots have bridged the gap over the years too... so there numerical superiority and equally qualitative workforce will be a tough thing for Pakistan now.
Our first jet prototype is to fly soon at 2021 as told by the govt nearly a decade ago. And we plan to induct tested fifth gen platform too into the future.
We were planning to buy Russian before India ever gave us 500 mil loan. The tender document was designed specifically for sukhoi to win... and India wants us to get some patrol boats with their money... considering we make patrol boats at home... I'm sure all that money will be invested at home and paid back with interest in future. Note this is not a military aid like Pakistan is said to receive from US in the past. It's a loan.
Sukhoi 30s are all twin seaters.
JF17S in numbers, all data linked, with our pilots, combined with the improvements we are making and increasing airdefences will be superb as the backbone of our airforce keep watching the improvements, once we complete the export orders block 3s will be coming
It is not confirmed what 5th gen we will go for but rest assured the planning is in place and it is coming quick
Your airforce is tiny, you have no worthwhile prototype by 2021 or 2121
You are buying small numbers of a plane one of your alleged enemy has hundreds of
You are delusional not to think the treachery amongst your people snd government has not infected your military, everything from training to maintenance to support for parts will be done in collusion with india, that is except when you piss them off and they have to yank the leash and you realise your planes are worthless and you have no control over them
