PAF acquisition in the next 50 Years:
Very soon PAF will boast the largest fleet of Mirage 2000 in the world followed by F-16
In recent future:
12 X Mirage 2000 (Ex Qatar AF)
15 X F-16 (Ex RJAF)
12 X Mirage 2000 (Ex Brazilian AF)
After 5 Years:
7 X Mirage 2000 (Ex Peru AF)
10-20 X Mirage 2000 (Ex French AF)
15-20 X F-16 ( Ex VenezuelanAF)
After 10 Years:
10-20 X Mirage 2000 (Ex French AF)
All Dutch, Danish, Norwegian and Belgian F-16's.
After 15 years:
12 X Mirage 2000 (Ex Egyptian AF)
60 X Mirage 2000 (Ex UAE AF)
20 X F-16 E/F (Ex UAE AF)
After 20 Years:
50 X F-16 E/F (Ex UAE AF)
All Mirage 2000 of French Air Force.
and if this is not enough from Gulf, why not consider the following:
30 X F-18 E/F (Ex Kuwaiti AF)
40 X F-15 C (Ex RSAF)
40 X F-15 SA (EX RSAF)
Indian AF is maybe retiring Mirage 2000 so lets consider those too while PAF will be looking to buy Israeli AF F-16 through a 3rd party.
By this time 5th Gen aircraft are common and 6th gen completing testing or nearing induction, where as PAF boasts a 4th gen combat aircraft inventory of 400-450 aircraft and around 25 X 5th gen J-31, while laying around in inventory are another 50 F-16 and 100 Mirage 2000 for cannibalisation
After 25-30 Years:
PAF inducts first squadron of used EF-2000 recently acquired from RSAF.
After 50 years:
PAF is the largest operator of EF-2000.
what the hell is PAF doing :-(
