View attachment 539756

so basically need urgent replaceemnt of 6sq and all 10 of older by 2025-30

if we had gotten the planned 2sq of f16s we would have replaced 6 by 2022

 

[AZADPAKISTAN2009]

Replacement of 4 Squadrons F7 with Chinese J10b would be good move
As this craft is forming the base for Chinese Airforce and they are improving it leaps and bounds

If it fits in PAF numbers can be boosted further

The way things are going, whatever happens to PAF within the next year is all you guys have. It may not be even 12 months.

China could deliver 2 squadrons in may be 1.5 years they really make these machines rapidly

18th amendment has bankrupted the federation, federal govt has -600b starting budget, i doubt it can afford anything till it balance it books in next 3-4 years, unless we are seeing at very generous credit line

 

[AZADPAKISTAN2009]

Nothing is bankrupted we need to buy J10B

If the Navy can Afford Frigates Subs Corvettes OHP's PAF can afford J-10 for sure

What about the possibility of leasing J-10B/C's from China for the next few years until we are able to find a replacement for our F-7's.

How about selling JF-17's to different countries to buy EF-2000 from the acquired cash, in case loans don't materialise ? It will take a while to induct EF-2000 since a squadron of JF-17 might fetch 4-5 EF-2000, but it would be a start. Stop acquiring Jf-17's after 150 are complete and manufacture them for selling after that.

Navy camt afford either ..everything has been on credit
PAF is paying much more on previous loans and new credit..navy procurement is trivial compared to that
A single sq of JF-17 costs more than a destroyer

No a bright idea
Instead 4-5 typhoons better to get another 100 block3

Exactly...
Besides, other than fact that i'm not a huge fan of the Typhoon - I just don't see the Typhoon ever being part of the PAF.

The way I see it, our future is...:
a) More JF-17's
b) J-10B/C's
c) More F-16's down the road - (if) and when our relations improve with the US.
