The PAF evaluated the L-15B (and other LIFTs) back in 2015-2017 and had basically said it wants the L-15B (i.e., the only non-Western LIFT with an afterburning engine and radar) in 2018. Funding constraints and other priorities (e.g., J-10CE) likely slowed the LIFT program until now. They might have pushed the dossier following the Mianwali attacks, sure, but even those attacks didn't take place, I think the PAF would've sought the LIFTs in at most 1-2 years from now.Don’t you think that feasibility, testing, acquisition plans are usually in pipelines since months or years.
After all PAF tested many aircraft’s for feasibility study but acquired very few among those.
