Pakistan showing interest in J-16?

Apparently the news is coming from PAF sources and I think the chances are more for J-16 than Su35 which was mostly by the pdf members and based on some interests. Though the officials confirmation is not available but this is one source which bhartis can't meddle with. The chance if this deal are higher because Pakistan can get a soft loan from China and pay it on longer term basis while for Su35 PAF needs hard cash which apparently they don't have. JF-17, J-16 and J-31 will share some systems and integration will perhaps be easier if the same architecture and PL has been used. And J-16 is really a truck and will be suited for deep penetration in india and also for the maritime roles.
J16 is a nightmare for there carrier and SAM system. I think India will retaliate China if we give PAF J16. It can shift the regional pivot.

And I don't think China will care for the bully of the subcontinent. India can't do much there...it is already doing whatever it can and her cards have been exposed.

Just image the threat PAF can impose when they have J16 carrying YJ-12 ASM with 550 KM range.

Let them sell Poor Akash, and we will sell J16 to Pakistan.

Are you out of your mind ,,, 20 billion dollar just for 3 to 4 squadrons of twin engines ... You must be smooking some very hard stuff ... there is a difference but of merely few million dollars in terms of running cost ...

Twin engine decision is not cost based (definitely cost is one of the consideration but not the main) ... Its doctrine based ... Pakistan never intended to strike deep down in the enemy territory but now with lot of heavies Pakistan needs to have aircraft with greater loiter time ... Pakistan has not finalized decision whether it will go for twin engine or single engine but nowadays all modern air superiority fighters (except for F35 and J10) are twin engine


Agreed ... but we need to acquire it in very short term as we have 3 years max before delivery and integration of Rafaels ... I personally think that if we have J31 available around 2020 then we should go directly for J31 as it will limit our numbers of aircraft to 3 and we can induct J31 in numbers too ... Meanwhile we will complete the inductionof J17 ... After that we can think of replaement of F16 post 2025 with more advance platform ...
No I wanted to say overall budget should be increased...twin engines have real high cost maintenance ..our sukhois and migs actually need high maintenance which increases there running cost...and as you mentioned few millions ..just because of few millions pakistan coyld not get f16 a year back when US refused to pay up

Akash is a failed system and Vietnam will never pose a threat to China despite its posturing since
they can't survive even a hypothetical low intensity conflict with China so Akash or no Akah..won't make much of a difference rather they will waste some money..

but J16 will definitely make a difference.

Your sukhois and migs need high maintenance because of poor Russian technology.

The capabilities are impressive but What is the operational cost of J16?
 
. .
There are three main factors that determine the lethality of a stealth plane:

1. Stealth (RCS + Heat signature).
2. EW/ECCM.
3. Weapons package.

All of these work together to avoid BFM. Some of them (like designing the curves to reduce RCS) are contradictory with maneuverability. If you want to discuss BFM, you might as well invest your money in a high maneuverability aircraft rather than a stealth aircraft. When we say we want the PAF to go for J-31, we are basically supporting stealth over maneuverability.

How can you say 'modern radars that the russians and chinese have can easily detect stealth aircrafts'? Where is your source for this? And how can you be sure that India will have such radars?
india doesn;t have these radars... lu bands owsa frequency radars can detect stealth aircrafts.... and they have advanced enough to increase detection range location etc accurately

If we take J11b as a reference, the per sortie expenditure is around 60 thousands USD.

So you are "kinda" confirming that JF-17 block III might be equipped with WS-13 engine? :coffee:
WS13E

I listed 3 elements that work hand in hand. Stealth isn't achieved merely by reducing RCS. Re-read my previous post until you fully understand it.

heat signature is only possible to reduce with not using afterburner.... for that j-31 need supercruising ability....

Since you have no knowledge and spreading disinformation about J-31. We all know about J-31 and your facts from your unclean behind are not acceptable.
might have been rusty for a while... but now that i show you the sources... you refuse to accept them which just makes me assume you're one big ego centric arrogant prick with no respect for others

Not even an iota for trolls like you ... who deliberately ignore the facts and spread disinformation so go back to IDF here none will buy your crap.. GTFO
