NO, develop a long range cruise missiles that is accurate and buy it in large numbers. 1500km range cruise missiles would allow whatever destruction you want, hell launch them at all Indian airbases in waves.
Interesting read.
Eft is too expensive to maintain even for much richer countries, impossible in my opinion for Pakistan.
One Engineer/Technician is paid 10-50 times more in the West.!!
Not just that, parts costs much more and whole plane is much more harder and more to expensive maintain then JF-17.
Agree,baring the initial set up costs i am sure our Mirage Rebuild factory will have some innovative economical solutions. Rebuilding and mastering the EJ200 engines can benefit our Jf17 and AZM projects also on a transfer of technology basis!!!
They will be fine trust me.
Is that possible? Rolls Royce may not allow changing of it's engines like that especially if they suspect Chinese may be trying to steal technology from them. J-10 is just as good as EFT as Air superiority role in my opinion. Much cheaper, and supply lines are Guaranteed to not cut off any time soon.
EF200 has been on the horizon for a while. The Chinese still use one of Rolls Royce variants on their JH-7As. I am sure rebuilding or servicing the EJ200s should not be a big issue. Maybe a transfer of technology for the EJ200s on a competitive price ,will boost the JF17s and AZM projects !!!
Not at all true.
I agree about retirement , but seems they remain in service for next few decades.
SMR95 update French Mirage F1 and 3 with RD33N....engine belongs to same family of RD93.
Chapter of EFT is closed for PAF, J-10C is the better option then EFTA poor and drug infested nation of Columbia has been showing keen interest in acquiring Spanish T2 Eurofighter Typhoons recently.
Although i would love to see J10c in PAF colours,they are formidable aircraft but their airframes,engines,radars and avionics are decades behind any nearest Western counterpart.
