flanker vs flanker India would have the advantage.
the j11 is in ones eyes a likely candidate, but it isnt. well lets just get it over with. well you did say which fighter would suit paf doctrine. i just went through the options out there. read the thread which i linked on why such a deal for the f16 may go through. or if you cant be asked looking for the link, its below.it is the response to and on demand from an existing thread where people were telling each other to start a thread.
hence started the debate. what you say maybe right but this can pretty much kill every discussion if we rule out everything.
but for the sake of argument you have to start with something existing. tome J-11 in the 4th generation seems most likely as the eport control from Russia can be amended for Pakistan just like other military procurements and improvement in ties with Kremlin.. J-11 has nothing special to cause concerns like a Mig35 or Su 35 would cause. its essentially an SU27 skeleton with primitive avionics. if for whatever reason F18 can be blocked then F-16s can be blocked too. I never mentioned Typhoons and rafales for their price tags. and also concluded that J-31 in the end remains a potential future buy if china manages to build it entirely of Chinese based components.
They already have a huge advantage. Su-35 IF inducted will some what tilt the odds in Pakistan's favor.
china has 240+ jh-7's and they are still in production.I have been interested about the JH-7A. I like it's size and range, but the fact China doesn't operate many of them makes me think the J-11 is the better aircraft
Su-35 is the best plane, but India operate the Su-30s they know it's weaknesses and you can argue they are the best flanker pilots in the world
flanker vs flanker India would have the advantage.
Pakistan could only buy what a dozen or two compared to 200+ Indians own.
And T37The PAF has been operating the Nanching Q5 which is also twin engine
in my opinion Pakistan need to focus on jf 17 and its sales. Pakistan need to build jf17 with pace and find couple of buyers. after third generation of jf17, I'm sure Pakistan will gain enough knowledge to build complete plane on their own and money from sales pakistan should start their own twin engine jet. why would pakistan buy an expensive twin engine jet when they are about to start or started already building 3rd generation of jf17. pakistan need to be patient and focus on their own next generation fighter.
good job for bringing that up
and why are long legs required?
