Well if Pakistan Air Force goes for the Jordanian Vipers, then this acquisition would officially bring the total number of Pakistan Air Force Vipers, above 100! It is almost surreal that 35 years on, Pakistan Air Force will have reached the desired number of Vipers they wanted, back in 1983. Dunno whether that's a good thing or a bad thing. But one thing is for certain, that Pakistan Air Force will operate Vipers for some years to come. As such, Pakistan Air Force ought to be stockpiling on spare parts and engines for their Viper fleet.

Certainly a good thing from two perspectives ... lower operating and acquisition costs vs any other comparable fighter. Second, the larger the fleet, the more it can sustain operations in the conflict since even if you have to cannibalize part of the fleet to keep some airworthy, you still have more fighters available for the duration. Once the conflict is over, having the fleet grounded for some time is not as impactful as those supply lines eventually reopen. Just my 2 cents

Where’s the evidence that China will not sell their Russian knockoffs to third parties? This claim has been made repeatedly on this forum but without any substantive evidence.

China sold their MiG-19 & MiG-21 knockoffs the world over. There’s little doubt they won’t sell their Su-knockoffs if the price is right.

@Falcon26 and all other proponents of Pakistan buying Chinese Flanker variants and asking for evidence and proof ... this should settle the debate now. No J-11 are ever going to come from China for PAF. Read the highlighted part.

there was a page where they were advertising what they were getting rid off; then f-16 inventory was taken off it; the assumption was it was bought by PAF (these were the aircraft deemed to have too many hours, i believe).
