Pakistan could drop US as supplier of military Aircraft for PAF

[cloud4000]

Here is what you seemingly do not understand...

For a country that must import its defense, you do not drop a supplier unless you are ABSOLUTELY secured of an alternate supplier.

Mock the F-16 all you want. The reality is that the F-16 is STILL the standard to meet in terms of versatility, longevity, and reliability. Is your potential new supplier readied ?

Well, Pakistan is keen on acquiring the J-31 as a replacement for F-16s as soon as it's available, which still years away. Nevertheless, I see your point. But it's less about acquiring new frames (or even used ones), and more about maintaining existing fleet. I'm sure PAF has a healthy supply of spare parts on hand, but what about armament, especially for COIN ops? Is JF-17 ready to fill that role?

Pakistans only military supplier should be pakistan.

A hard way!

 

[Hassan Guy]

A hard way!

No other effective option.

Pakistan has already built more JF-17s than f-16s in service.

 

[Soldier-Boy]

Makes no difference to USA - they weren't exactly relying on any Pak orders; and are more than busy filling other international orders.

But at least now we can finally forget the F16s and move on to something better.

Just order 36 J-10 or any other long range two engine fighter from US off the shelf basis will give US military leaders heart attack since they blackmail a lot about F-16 supplies.
Do it or die slow death.
Iran, Cuba and many others who defies US still living happily hence we have friends like Turkey and China if not US but we still have many better options to get better weapons.

but but JF-17 is as good as F-16 52

 

[Soldier-Boy]

No other effective option.

Stop their routes and supplies from Pakistan, seal the border flood the refugees back to Afghanistan and stop supplying goods to Afghan will make US cry.

Announce Jihad against US in Afghanistan believe me we have many mamlook ready to die send them their and make US weep.
Just went full nut against the nut there is no other options.

Name an alternative to the F-16.

 

[Soldier-Boy]

My prediction: Because of our political leadership not only USA made us to eat 100 onions but also with 100 chitar on backside.

Name an alternative to the F-16.

J-10

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

[HAIDER]

Since PAF built the back bone on JF17, which is sanction proof plane. 250 plane enough to built the back bone. Pakistan faced long term F16 embargo after nuclear test and time after time face the sanctions. Its better to have alternate plan.

 

[Sunan]

What do you mean by "Could"?Pakistan should do it.F16 lovers can go to hell...

 

[WhyCry]

go to hell f-16 a 40 years old plane
