I think anything Russian is out. Not just from integration perspective but now is certainly not the time to antagonise US and face CAATSA.
Also hard to see what "new" US would give us.
Certainly a European option to supplement SPADA 2000 or a long range Chinese option seem best bet. Even Turks chose HQ-9 in their original competition for long range SAM.
2030 will be too late. it won't be possible to build or purchase 300 to 400 5 G plans in and integrate with operational tactics and philosophy in 10 year.
PAF will most likely start indicting a 5th Generation aircraft by the end of this decade. in ideal situation there will be three phases of induction of 5th G.
Since J-10C deal seems to have been done, so procurement of new Fighter Jet could be J-31/J-35.
We are talking about Project Azm and don't expect any prototype in this decade. No way in the world we can have a final product before mid or late 2030s unless we opt for a JV path. Buying offshelves 5th generation plane is something else but with the timelines PAF chief suggested, he is more indicating about Project Azm.
PAF should considering having a joint venture with China for a 5th generation like we did with JF-17. If this is possible we could have a 5th generation in service well before the end of this decade.
He also confirmed PAF is looking to get new Fighter Jets. So all those who were saying why we would buy J-10 C here is your answer.
Sir he separately discussed BLOCK III. He is not referring to BLOCK III. BLOCK III is done deal we produce 50 or 100 that is our choice. He clearly is referring to some other fighter jet.
As for Air Defence system that is most likely HQ 9 B
He was meeting journalists. I don't they were allowed to record or make video of Chief talking.Do you have a video of the PAF chief saying this? All I see are news clips.
J31 won’t be ready for production before 2025 at the very very least. Probably later still. We haven’t even started getting J10s yet. By the time Pakistan is in need of a 5th generation fighter, Project Azm will come into fruition, I expect it to turn into a project similar to the JF17, just this time it will be at least partially designed in Pakistan, though much of the parts will be imported.We should consider buying around 30-35 J-31. We could get 35 J-31 for around 2.5 billion USD considering the unit price 70 million USD.
means AZM may be ready for serial production by 2035..this is very ambitious time lineHe also said that by 2047, PAF will be fully converted into 5th generation air force
j10C i guess since F16 are dead horse, PAF might not even update them(since i doubt we are getting any future AIMs) and get them replaced slowly from 2030-2040 (since MLUs will compete their life by 2030)He also said PAF is buying new Fighter Aircraft

LEONARDO RAT 31 DL: L-BAND/SOLID STATE 3D AIR SURVEILLANCE RADAR with range over 500 KM. LEONARDO has established its office in Pakistan and Italy also provided AD system before. So this time most probably from EU and from LEONARDO.
Patriot missile batteries and F-15E strike Eagle.
There I said it.
Never say never.
