In light of IK's recent visit and the resulting outcomes, it does take on some significance.

What can PAF offer to KSAAF and vice versa. Probably nothing.

If ordered now by a foreign customer, FC-31 could enter the production as early as 2019 and achieve IOC in 2022. The domestic land-based variant for PLAN might be called J-35.

Its first foreign customer is likely to be Pakistani AF, which has been planning its own 4th generation stealth fighter based onFC-31 since late 2017.

Help in Yemen?

 

[TOPGUN]

Carrier-based variant.

On the land based variant can we see it in PAF ?

 

[SQ8]

Help in Yemen?

There is no skillset the PAF could transfer that the RSAF and other GCC forces don’t already know very well.

There is no skillset the PAF could transfer that the RSAF and other GCC forces don’t already know very well.

But they certainly have not been very effective till now. How about teaching them about better drone surveillance and coordinated IBGs involving airforce and special forces?

Help in Yemen?

Government will not allow

They are being trained by the US.

At some point, a PAF specific aircraft will certainly emerge. work has started since 2017.

 

[CriticalThought]

That relationship is quickly souring. They need a backup plan.

Pakistan approves Nigerian JF-17 production

Jeremy Binnie, London - IHS Jane's Defence Weekly

25 October 2018

The Pakistani government’s Economic Coordination Committee (ECC) has approved a USD184.3 million sovereign guarantee covering the production of three PAC/CAC JF-17 Thunder fighters for Nigeria under a recently signed contract, the Pakistan Express Tribune reported on 24 October.

This is the first confirmation from Pakistan that Abuja has signed a contract for the JF-17, although payments totalling NGN19.7 billion (USD54 billion) were put aside for the aircraft in Nigeria’s 2016 and 2018 budgets.

At 30m $ per copy, Pakistan plans to sell at least 6 aircraft to Nigeria including infrastructure, training costs.
