But IAF is gonna replace those 400 aircrafts with much more capable fighters..at least at par with F-16..so it will again give them the edge..or they can easily go for more rafaelsCongratulations to Everyone.... Feeling proud and excited
At current rate PAC is producing more than 25 jets/year. And jf-17 block 3 is estimated introduction will be in early-mid of 2019.
By than PAF will have above 150 jf-17 including few jf-17b trainer.
On the other hand our neighbours still operate historical mig-21,mig-27 and mirage 200 making a combine total of above 400 jets which have to me replace by 2019.And tejas is rolling out at 6 jet/year.
So india will have a few dozens of su-30. Rafale order is not enough for india.
But Pakistan will soon begin testing 4.5 gen jf-17 block 3.Which will be game changer for PAF.
Its will give PAF huge boost.
Pakistan has began research on 5 gen fighter.Hopefully research is going in right direction.
Pakistan is Going to be Next Big Thing
JF-17 is a great platform..but it's size and payload limitations are very strict....we need to have some offensive platform..a heavy fighter..jf-17 can never be deployed as an offensive fighter.
Plus Pak need to have a very robust air defense system to minimize the edge of IAF...another thread is running which shows the hope that Pak is finally considering some air defense system..hope we get them asap.
