What will Pakistan do with Yaks, I believe they were developed for the Soviet carriers?
Its an advanced jet trainer

but u r right we r in need of heavy fighters.we need a punch thats for sure.
Then Why not SU 25 frog foot for close air support with two mig 21 engines easy to maintain extream rugged faster than A10 warthog .The news actually said a deal is close to being finalised for Yak130. Yak130 are in a similar class to the A10 Warthog ground attack for CAS.
Pakistan wish list from Russia should be
Su-35
S-300
The money for these two will hit $5-6 billion
Would the Yak-130 needed since Pakistan has the K-8 ??
you are wrong bro yes RAFALE is more advance but in strike role Meteot range is 100 KM not 150+ KM like PL-15 and yes better ECM and ESM but SU-35 has little chance to get because of Indians, best bet is go for J-11D but it is in the early development phase and not forget that J-11D inducted by PLAAF first in numbers than it will be exportedStop posting BS here. Rafale is much more capable than F-16 Block 50/52. It has an AESA radar, Meteor BVR (similar to the most advanced PL-15), new EW suite, ability to carry nukes as well as cruise missiles.
JF-17 Block 3 will NOT be able to counter Rafale. PAF will go for Russian (Sukhoi Su-35) or Chinese (J-11) option. There is no news which says Russia offered less advanced Su-35 version to Pakistan.
If PAF goes for Su-35, it will be an aircraft as capable as Su-35S
If PAF decides to wait & buy Chinese, nothing less than J-11D will be purchased (with PL-15 AAM).
No chance for SU-35 but may be J-series from chinaI am sure HQ-9 deliveries to PAF will start in a year or two. With such a good LR-SAM system (second only to S-400), Pak airspace will become impregnable.
There are rumours that it will be data-linked with AWACS, ground based radars and other SAMs (like LY-80).
Hopefully, PAF will save some money to get a new platform (like Su-35).

air to air missiles are integrated with K-8P. Now we can call K-8P as Advanced Jet Trainer...K-8 is a intermediate trainer not advanecd
that doesn't meant it become advance it is a 80's designair to air missiles are integrated with K-8P. Now we can call K-8P as Advanced Jet Trainer...
now tell me what your standard to compare BVRAAM?Meteor has 100km range and PL-15 has 150km. Is this how you compare a BVR with another ??
These are fire & forget HOBS missiles. Take into account their anti-jamming and guidance capabilities. PL-15 has an active seeker, though I don't know if Meteor has one too.

it is not easy to comparethat doesn't meant it become advance it is a 80's design

There is no question of buying S-300 when Pakistan has already completed integration of HQ-9 with HQ-16 MR-SAM.
PAF won't go for Yak when the first JF-17B is a few months away. In an interview, a senior PAF official (I don't remember his name) said the JF-17B is being primarily developed for export but it will be inducted into service as well (for LIFT role).
that doesn't meant it become advance it is a 80's design
integrating air to air missiles does not make a trainer advanced
i never understood the differences between intermediate and advanced jet trainersGot your points thanks for the knowledge... By the way what design changes can lead K-8P to advanced level??
