Without F-35 jets it won’t be easy to maintain a strong air defence capability after 2020, If F-35 available for sale can Pakistan afford it, it will be good if Pakistan can get F-35 jets.
After 2020 JF-17 & F-16 (Block 52) won’t be helpful to maintain a strong air defence capability.

I dont think this plane will be available for Pakistan even if we can afford it, bcoz US will not want its knowledge to fall to Chinese, for example u can go through the details of restriction imposed on current F-16 block 50-
ReplyDelete52 planes, they even dont want to give us tech in leage of F-16 V the latest version available in the market and forgot about the overhauling and aircraft rebuilding factory which is backbone to support this plane in future as Lookheed will stop producing them soon.
yes u are correct if they donot give us so we will take j-31 from
DeleteChina but i am hope ful.that they will give us
