Hi,
Realistically the position of Paf is beyond hopeless----it is pathetic---and that is no sugar coating.
Either it is BLK2 or it is BLK 3---it still needs full integration--I do not know if you understand that concept yet---even though it has been addressed---you have yet to changed your thought process---.
So---keeping that in mind---an aircraft is needed that can fill some of the issues that pak military has---ie the shortage of front line aircraft---.
JF 17 is a long ways away from taking up the Flanks---which means facing the current enemy---.
In its current form---it would do wonderfully in Nigeria--because over there it is needed mostly for ground strikes---.
Funds earned from defense export are not enough---.
@wanglaokan is right in suggesting---Paf shpuld lease 3 sqdrn's of the J10B's-C's----. Paf should have done it 2 years ago---and they would not have been in this miserable condition that they are in now.
