Answers to your questions, dear Mastan Khan Sahib
Qtn: why is it an indigenous design---why---what is the reason behind it---what is the engineering base behind it to have own design rather than the already existing J31---.
Answer: J-31 is a poorly designed plane, made from drawings hacked from the country you belong to. They are severely underpowered, with only an outside chance, based on the WS-19 to be successful. Depending on how successful that project can or cannot be. Going by past record, China will stumble and fall or take an inordinately long time.
Qtn: How is it that Pakistan can afford to experiment when the enemy is inducting aircraft after an aircraft---?
Answer: Tejas isn't an aircraft, its a unicorn. 36 Rafale. And giant numbers of aircraft going out of service. Isn't it you who taught us how without R&D no nation can succeed? That the great trial and error method of the US was what made it great? By the same token the JF-17 shouldn't have been developed and was "treason" too? But you keep writing good stuff about the JFT, so I'm confused.
Why can't PAF take a low-cost, low risk approach to building a next generation aircraft? Or be called traitors?
Qtn: Hasn't the Paf learnt from JF17 that such projects run 10-15 years behind with just one hiccup---
Answer: Did they have to learn from the JF-17 that, or could they just have learned that from reading about past combat aircraft development projects?
Was the JFT a success? Yes
Why can't it replicate and improve upon that success? Why Mastan Khan WHY?
Qtn: It looks like the Paf has bigger egos than their brains---
Answer: It takes brains and guts to build a fighter. Which PAF successfully has. I'm sure fighter pilots have big egos. At least its not suicidal like in the case of India, or treasonous as is the case of the USAF.
Qtn: It is more like a di-ck measuring contest---
Answer: Against whom? IAF di-cks are legendarily small - the size of their LCA. IAF simply is unlikely to field its own 5th gen indigenous fighter, specially with the unceremonious death of the FGFA. Who is PAF comparing its di-ck with? China? Russia? Turkey? Europe?
Do you really believe PAF would ever have built the JFT let alone Azm, if USA gave them F-16s?
PAF would have been riding F-16s till kingdom come if they had the option.
PAF is in a corner with only Chinese planes available to it. J-10s for $65 million a piece. With engines prone to flameout and long spoolup times.
What magical di-ck options does PAF have?
j-31 depends on a massive leap in engine technology - from RD-93 copy to F-414 class. This is the risky option. Its airframe will generate massive drag. Its a flying brick. Read what GLAAAR has to say about the aerodynamics of the F-35. Then compare the engine thrusts on the Chinese knockoff, which has even more drag and possibly weight.
The low risk option is to develop a low-risk airframe with the help of Chengdu. SAC does not have experience designing contemporary airframes. Go to a company that does. Even if MK calls you a traitor for it.
You are a funny guy. It's clear you know nothing about the LCA program.
IAF di-cks are legendarily small
Careful though, ours actually works as intended.
