Pakistan Looking at Three Option to buy Stealth Aircrafts Including F-35

Well I don't watch Pak media except for a very few actually only one on Youtube, so i don't have any clue but what I was saying it was just a statement by Air Chief and that will be the same in all newspapers regardless of the language.
I don't think The News is an Urdu daily. And it's quite a reasonable newspaper.

Pappy,

Lockheed is a business entity---they need to make a sale to live and feed----so let them do the legwork.

Pappy,
you are not getting understanding the point here. Lockheed or any other US defence production industry in US needs business of course there is no doubt about that, but the sale of defence goods to overseas are all in Presidents & Congress hand & also don't forget the mega Indian lobby in US who will cry like anything if the deal is near to signing.

It is better to ask if you don't understand----
 
I had said this on here like 2 years ago that Pakistan will buy the F-35 by 2020, 2025. And everyone made fun of me, specially the Indian members. Then I told everyone that Pakistan was in LM's sales list for F-35 acquisition and even that was an issue.

Well now its coming from the Air Chief of Pakistan...so how you guys like me know :dance3:
Dear Sir. Pak has looked for so many platforms since inception but this does n't mean that they got all platforms. First Pak should try to get legion IRST pod and AESA Radars for F16s which is still doubtful that Pak will get.

Yes u are right that PAF may get F35 but not till 2025, they may get it in 2045-50 when such stealth fighters shall become common. USA provides tech to Pak which is already available to India. Recent example is of upgraded Cobras which will be supplied to PA when India gets Apachi from USA. Similarly when F16s were provided at that time even India had capable Russian jets.

The only option PAF has if J31 of Chinese origin or 4.5 th gen J series jets.

Don't be over ambitious u may kill the junior Pak based members if Pak even gets F35 till 2035 or otherwise.:-):-)
 
Please get two or three of it , we will reverse it and sell it at very cheap in the market. To be honest, F35 is as heavy as stout woman. This kind level of tech is no more so attractive to China.

f-35 is useless its aerodynamic sucks it better if we go with j31
F35 means buy off the shelf, J31 means you will possess the ability to run the assembly line of stealthy fighters. If address it on strategical level, either Pakistan go with China or US in the future. There is no need to make blur here cause it finally need to be clear.

USA will provide 10 times better weapon they provided to PAF if IAF asks. All those weapon USA sell to PAF is in the verge of 'obsolete'. in my eyes, F16 is obsolete weapon platform. Not to offend but tell my teal thought.
 
in lighter mode USA may provide Pak downgraded F35s just M1 Abarams provide to KSA getting annihilated by Houti rebels.
 
if US actually sells F35 to Pakistan, they can kiss the indian market goodbye.....

A few fighters from India don't mean much. Much of India's force is of Russian origin. The US has plenty of customers for the JSF.

The world isn't as black and white as this, by 2020 the level of trade between India and the US will be close to $1TN USD a year. The US will choose Pakistan (who is incresingly leaning to China) over India because................

The Chinese have a far greater trade figure but yet wouldn't you call the US and China buddies would you. The US/Pakistan relationship is far more complex than people think. It goes beyond the nominal "ally" tag and delves into matters of massive regional security, influence in the Central Asian region and continuing engagement with a country it has had ties with for the past 60 years......
 
Anyways, which twin engine fighter do you think will be the sensible choice for PAF?

I would say go for Typhoon if Available ..
if not .. Su-35 , F-15 .. reasonable options .. somewhat affordable
 
Your neighbor consists of some seriously insecure people who will then panic and end up boosting their budget even more to try and get more PAK-FA's.. or even try for the F-35 themselves.
It wont matter if the IAF chief knows the truth or not, their government is currently full of insecure folks that have NO OTHER ENEMY in their sights than us.

Bingo .. and that is exactly why this statement is made .. any "SANE" person remotely related to this industry would know that its a Bluff call .. however the baboos on the other side will probably go nuts and put their plans under further reviews and evaluations .. further delays .. who knows .. a new govt .. and they are back to sq one .. isn't this what has been happening in the MMRCA.
I don't think PAF is worried about PAK-FA .. something still in development .. most probably a souped-up Su30 and still a long way to go in production and induction .. the immediate danger is Rafale .. that is REAL and a CAPABLE fighter.

Pakistan seems to be the lucky charm for the defense suppliers to India

1) France pitches Avionics for JF-17 and gets RAFALE deal in return

2) Russia pitches SU-35 and gets S-400 deal in return

3) US Pitches F-35 and would get EMALS & F-35C deal in return

It would be interesting to see PAF's F-35As go against IN's F-35Cs

J20 & J31 both have a long way to go before they get officially inducted in PLAAF. So we are looking at roughly 15 years minimum. If Pakistan really wants to go for 4.5 generation then SU35 is the right choice & the Russians have already offered Pakistan SU35, so PAF should go for it & replace F7 & Mirages with SU35.
 
f-35 is useless its aerodynamic sucks it better if we go with j31


let me get this right a inferior copy of the F-35 will have better aerodynamics
