The only worrying thing is point 3...that for almost 9-10 years,we are going to be dependant on light and medium range aircrafts,..s it puts us on completely defensive position....we don't have any heavy and we won't be able to launche an offensive operation in enemy's territory...!!!while our enemy is far ahead both in numbers and quality as most of the aircrafts are 4th gen.and have enough range to launch deep strike missionWhat i understood with PAF planning, there is no place of j10 in PAF for following reasons as summarised below,
3) PAF has decided to maintain 100+ (new and MLU upgraded old ) f16s and hundreds of JFTs till 2025 at max. after that PAF will got for 5th gen.
I think this is the most beneficial in terms of survivability and cost to benefit ratio.
Another point...j31...i don't know about it,whether it's heavy or medium ...if it's medium than...we won't gain too much even after inducting it...as our weakness of launching an offensive strike will always be there(remember india is also getting PAKFA..which is surely a heavy...and also it neutralizes our stealth)....!!!
So why PAF is ignoring such shortcomings....and making itself a defensive force....??while all the air forces in the world have assumed the offensive role
