We can increase their numbers if need arrives.For 72 Rafales, 75 Thunders

The next step is probably AESA TRM based EW/ECM in both the aircraft (integrated) and in an optional pod. You can get AESA TRM for EW on the open market (some firms pitched it to the PAF at IDEAS), not a big deal. The big deal is seeing if we can develop a sensor fusion engine for 360 deg awareness.KG600/RKL700A ASPJ already integrated on the blk 2 and delivered. The specific version will be different.

27/2 engagement has proven this beyond any doubt that Spectrum warfare is next big thing. This is the reason, I believe, that US DOD has put EW Spectrum as 6th dimension of warfare after Land, Air, Sea, Cyber and Space.

Well, if and it is a tricky if but still doable with some cooperation.The question remains will our JF-17 Blk 3 be a match for the iaf Rafales ?
I think you are very much mistaken.Thanks for detailed response.
However, I would still say that we are loosing that minimum deterrence capability fast with the induction of newer platforms in India i.e Rafale and s400. And for that, medium category fighters are required in the short term. All of this is just to maintain that minimum detrrence. Being at par with India is a dream that is far from being realized and nobody is chasing that dream either.
JF-17 program will progress and project Azm will kick in as well in the future but a dire need for a stop gap solution cannot be forgotten. On that we see no visible activity from the PAF.
None in the sense of being turnkey local. We don't have fabtech or semiconductors for that. But we do have the option of buying COTS TRMs and in turn using that to make a custom solution with our own programming, threat libraries, etc.Have you heard about indigenous EW solutions?
judging by the current technological level of Pakistani engineers & PAC capabilities and PAF co-operation, in house development of EW solutions is very very likely.Have you heard about indigenous EW solutions?
This is an interesting video warfare dimensions and how each dimension effect one another especially the interview given by the US armed forces general

So if PAF can neutralize SPECTRA then PL15 can out range Meteor in BVR engagement.
Here is a relevant excerpt of an article in National Interest on PL15:
"The PL-15 is a long range air-to-air missile slated to enter service in 2018. Outfitted with an active electronically scanned radar and featuring a reported maximum range of up to 300 km, the PL-15’s impressive specifications place it in the ranks of the top air-to-air missiles along with the European Meteor missile and Russian K-37M.
The PL-15’s effective range in actual aerial engagements is certain to be lower than the maximum range 300 km, but is nonetheless much higher than its American AIM-120 AMRAAM counterpart’s estimated 180 km or less. American general Herbert Carlisle voiced serious concerns in 2015 when the development of the PL-15 entered the public knowledge: “Look at our adversaries and what they’re developing, things like the PL-15 and the range of that weapon.” General Carlisle raised the same issue in an interview with FlightGlobal: “The PL-15 and the range of that missile, we’ve got to be able to out-stick that missile.”[/QUOTE
I think this was said about PL21 which is an even longer range missile than PL12 and PL15. PL21 will have a ramjet motor.
