What's new

J-31 possibly being tested & evaluated in Pakistan

.
If PAF buys J31 Azam is dead or delayed.
jF-17 blk 3 will be a match to F-16 blk-52.
It's best for PAF to stick with jF-17 blk3 until Azam concludes.
Turkey buy 100 F35, and TFX is still alive.

How about partnering up with another country? Any of the major GCC countries come to mind.

And if the Saudis don't agree, you can threaten to take the project to the Iranians. :D



The CAC and SAC are major rivals.

A better design would be a single engine design based on the J-20's new engine, which CAC can develop rather quickly. If Project Azm is an independent Pakistani design, then these two jets will complement each other rather than compete.



This project will take a decade just to get the feasibility studies done and the paper design right, if Pakistan intends to do it alone.
CAC and SAC are susidiaries of AVIC, they all serve national interetsts and follow goverment order.

:disagree: But Better than blk-52 in the term of Avionics @BATMAN :agree:
and less kill switch!

There's a big time gap between F-35 and TFX.
When Turkey committed to F-35, they didn't committed to TFX.
Even today TFX is only in conceptual phase, while AZAM has a clear road map!

On J31... is twin engine. If PAF went for J31 it will mark a huge war doctrine shift. of which i don't see any signs or logic.

Mig and Sukhoi are also under UAC, but both are highly competitive.

In such systems, there is always one winner and one loser. And the loser typically loses a lot of bureaucratic power. For example, the directors of CAC have gained far more power than SAC due to the J-20 project, while SAC is still stuck with the J-11s. That's why they used their own funds to make the J-31, which no one is really interested in. Future projects will see more CAC input than SAC. The same with Lock Mart in the US with the F-22 and F-35, Boeing and Northrop are always in whining mode. You see Boeing peddling the Growler over the F-35 constantly now.

When it comes to SOEs, the competition between them can be quite intense. You should see how anti-competitive HAL in India is.

Two points.

1. Turkey has an industrial base, good economy and good tech
2. Turkey has options. Access to western fighters and if the west refuse they can buy Russian.


Paksitan has enemies galore and no choices. So it's venture into jf17 which was almost cancelled by Zardari has shown tremendous success and potential. So design develop be independent and market is the future. PAF has realised this and is working to that end.

I think PAF might still wait 3-4 years to see J-31 flying in PAF colors and even I am not sure that Chinese will give Pakistan a license to produce J-31 in Pakistan.

Hi

Hi my friend you are right with the 3-4 or may be 5 years of time line as most of the anti j31 members are not keeping a point in mind & that is next in line ACC are need to be fully operational let’s say 2-4 time line and coz of the weight and other paraphernalia j20 can’t be able to fly out from those ACCs
So the best bet in stealth mode operational aircraft from ACC is j31 and they have time to make it to the Chinese naval standards with this time bar
Thank you

Fantastic platform , PAF should act Modern characteristics and Stealth. It hides all weapons it contains in internal bay a hidden Phantom Plane

  • 40 Plane Order would solidify PAF modernization attempt having a classified tech in our grasp which can play a tactical role
  • 2+ Squadrons would be a great way to examine the active role the plane can play

I wish to bring FA-50 from Korea.
Not possible, too much technology from USA (restrictions) it is light weight attacker, CAS/advanced trainer, we are getting away from US @IM Ozair :disagree:

Hi,

See---there is still some common sense left in you---if you dig deeper into yourself---.
