250 units of TFX, seems you had excluded FC31.
No, my dear Chinese friend.
JF-17 blockI will be up for replacement in a decade or so... so needs to be replaced by something more potent. Can never let IAF have upper hand for long...
J31 must also be produced in large number at PAC with heavy TOT. I wouldn't mind if in decades to come all JFs get replaced by J31.
Same goes for TFX...it must be produced in large numbers to fill in the needs of F16s replacement...which need to go sooner than later.
PAF Chief has clearly stated both the West and the East... it doesn't take much imagination to understand this.
Besides it is not the case of either TFX or J31.
It is the case of TFX AND J31... this will help establish a strategic partnership with both Friends of Pak...and most importantly enlarge the industrial base for PAC...after all Pak is going to establish an Aviation City at PAC... so PAC needs to get all the experience it can get from both the West and the East.
Win-Win-Win Paradigm.
