First squardon by 2021-22 would be ideal but i think it will take a little more than that.@Horus What timeframe do you think PAF would take the J-31 into squadron service?

Itni lambi tou na chor yara. Ye tou pakri bhi nahi jaarhi.2020-2022. By that time our defense budget will be in excess of 50 Billion dollars / fiscal cycle (5 year term).

2020-2022. By that time our defense budget will be in excess of 50 Billion dollars / fiscal cycle (5 year term). My guess is that PAF will seek 36 units to begin with ( 18X2 = 36 = 2 Squadrons ) then depending on its utility might place another order. The best news is that PAF plans to integrate Link-16 and Sensor Fusion developed for J-20 into our JF-17 fleet. In other words they are looking at across the board network centric capabilities backed by our AWACs, AESA ground radars and a multi layered SAM system we are slowly building up. PAF is not focusing on building huge numbers but on having up to 400 advanced jets which are fully capable of fighting as a swarm in a network centric warfare setting. To give you an example the best feature of JAS-39 Gripen-D aka Gripen NG is its netcentricity. A small formation of Gripen -NGs can communicate and share data with each other which allows them to fight as a team against a larger enemy force.

Hehehehe $1.6 billion budget hai PAF ka is saal. Hansain nahi tou kia karain.Speaking to a senior officer today regarding some publicity material, i inquired if there was any news from China and mentioned the subject, he replied with a surprised laughter and excused that since he's not with delegation hence he can't comment. !!
