This is confirmed scheduled production of Block-3 by the Air Chief:
2020: Block-3 x2
2021: Block-3 x12
2022: Block-3 x12
2023: Block-3 x12
2024: Block-3 x12
It is August 2020. So far, so good.
Which Air Chief has confirmed anything about J-31?
Pakistan has officially launched Project Azm and annoumced completion of its conceptual design so far along with a 10-year journey that began from July 2017.
What has Pakistan said anything about J-31? Nothing.
Pakistan would definitely have to import the radar, engines, and other key subsystems, that is for sure. But that does not mean AZM is dead ... Pakistan does not have to create all the subsystems on its own for the AZM to be a success.Pakistan will either end up something like J31 or TAI TFX under Project AZM Pakistan is not gonna make a plane from scratch we can't even make engines or Radars let alone Complete 5th Generation aircraft
I would respond - worry first about what the enemy has, before worrying about what they might get later.Yes, it is, now tell me how you intend to gain a qualitative edge over the F-35?

Rock and a hard place situation - until we let India know we could listen into their radio’s, they had not gone into panic against us.With that logic... It means pakistan should always under equip itself?... I thought the best strategy is to have the qualitative edge over the enemy???
You are confusing with what the Indian media or retired generals think versus the IAF itself. I highly highly doubt the top brass of the IAF thinks the J-20 is not a 5th generation fighter lol. They are only saying these things because they want to project confidence, but deep down they know the J-20 is basically a noose around the IAF's neck at this point.India think j20 is inferior to their su30
They might rate j31 as good as mig29
So i doubt a reaction would happen
Well I believe a panicked arms race - which is what you're describing - is probably already under way. I take your point that Pakistan cannot match India's potential in such an arms race, however, nothing at present will stop India's military supermarket sweep because USA is motivating it against the Chinese. If India is boosting itself to face off against China, surely it makes no difference what Pakistan does or doesn't purchase with regards to India's current motivation?And thats what the PAF is doing, with Block 3, however you would rather not dig yourself a hole that you cannot match later on. Why make your life difficult. Pakistan realises this, why do you think HQ-9 isnt a thing yet? Doing so, PA would push India to speeding up their S400 acq/deployment
Disagree on many accounts.30-40 planes FC-31 would offer a magnificent boost for Tactical Bombing across the border
A good strategy is to acquire ' indigenous ' capability to manufacture own weapons and systems, all types.With that logic... It means pakistan should always under equip itself?... I thought the best strategy is to have the qualitative edge over the enemy???
The US will not sell F-35 to India simply because of deep Indian military integration with Russian defence industry.
India think j20 is inferior to their su30
