Turks take Pakistani F-16 for a Joy Ride :)

If we get su 35 no need j 10

just testing the upgrades man !!

ANy possibility of PAF sending used F-16s to South zone by inducting new J-10A and J-10Bs in 50+50 numbers?

Zero. PAF is not interested in J-10s, it's looking into China's FC-31 (5th generation) fighter.

If we get su 35 no need j 10

PAF isn't, that was nothing more than a bullshit rumor.

The jubilation of the Turk test pilot shows how sincerely happy they are to pass the test on the PAF F-16.
Pak-Turk friendship.

Then PAF will be the one acquiring the J-31s from China in three batches

 

[Super Falcon]

Hope this rumor get true

Probably two batch, and it will probably be 35-40 fighters, no more than that.

 

[black-hawk_101]

I'm sure 150 of them with 50 from each batch.

 

[That Guy]

I'm sure 150 of them with 50 from each batch.

That would bankrupt Pakistan. A 5th gen takes at least 5 times more resources to maintain, and requires a vast resource and monetary commitment to build the infrastructure to properly house and maintain even a small fleet of 5th gen fighters. The leap between 4th and 5th is far bigger than most people give credit.

Besides, Pakistan only needs enough to deter India, and enhance it's capabilities. 35-40 fighters is enough, and that's exactly how many PAF is rumored to be interested in.

Pakistan is privatizing everything and this mean Govt. will be gaining more money through Taxes in all forms and would not be putting money which they are putting since 5-6 decades and yearly Billions of Dollars. So, all this can be invested in Military and Health Care as education is also going Private

There's a difference dear, the JF-17 went vertical as soon as the wheels left the runway whereas here the F-16, after retracting it's landing gear, runs and gathers speed until the end of the runway before going vertical, also for display purpose, the JF-17 had to level out at about 500 - 1000 feet, where as there are no such restrictions on the F-16 going ballistic.

The JF-17 on the air show never went completely vertical, it was at best 70-75 degrees w.r.t horizontal.
