We can spare a few hundred million dollars
to disable S-400 and RAFALE threats there are lots way to defeat those system Stealth is not necessary, We could stop RAFALE to Purchase long range SAMs like HQ-9 as for S-400 we can counter it with Cruise Missiles, Short range Ballistic missile, Harpy like suicide drone etc etc @Fawadqasim1
Forget EU or Russian fighters, and J-20 is also banned for export just like US F-22, Only options we have Either we can go J-10C or for Stealth FC-31 If project completed and PLAAN agrees to purchase FC-31 @IM Ozair
As per sinodefence forum J-31 V3 or re designated J-35 is in the pipeline. Project was being stalled because of improved engine availability. WS-13E was insufficient thrust for carrier operations and future size increase of the jet so it's being redesigned for use with WS-19 engine and increased size for more internal fuel.
I know that bro but as you refer waiting for engine, and probable delays because redesign is not that easy as you think, i thinks 5 year will be more exact position for roll out J-31 V3 @Shabi1
True, airframe redesign is major work, but we don't know how long back this has been initiated maybe naval variant started 2 year back (speculation). So as per the Chinese source 2 more years would total 4yrs is plausible.
Is even China willing to give this to Pakistan?
That is optimistic, very optimistic.
I'm really amazed on these posts at first sight but annoyed the more often I read such a BS:
Why do you guys always think Pakistan is in the position to decide in regard to Chinese developed systems on what they get, and how? If they can go to ToT or simply purchase and even more this strange belief that everything is available and at best for free?
I reminds me on the early days of the Sin-Soviet relationship, where the strange consequence was the misbelief of the PRC’s leadership not only that China has a right to receive this all for nearly nothing, but also, that it was so much easy to develop modern combat aircraft and exactly the same is here: "just take the JF-17 and enlarge it; let us add a much larger, wider and more powerful engine - or at best even two of them -, let us add several more pylons, weapons and so on ... it's all that easy, just like updating a new App at the mobile.
You guys are really funny, but you should grew up, do your homework and learn to become realistic.
