The realistic chance.....only J-10 Cs....plus depends upon our economy a lot....May be some odd chances of Su-35s if we shall have a capacity to buy them.
J-10s : No
SU-35s : Yes

No way for the Su-35 because the Russians won't give it much support with a war against India.
J-10's and J-11's are not gonna happen either.
I would turn to western europe but they have decided not to build a 5th gen fighter.
You're right. The heavy would replace the ROSE-I in the fleet, but also expand upon it with OCA. In this respect the Su-35 would be a very valuable asset.Are ROSE-Is used for air interdiction? I would have thought they were only good enough for interception / air defense.
The Current PAF fleet
cosists of
18 block 52 falcons
55 falcons a/b
70 thunders mk1/2
80 mirages 5
120 F7 P/PG
How does this need to change by 2020 TO FACE the changing threats
only 12 F-16s arent upgraded which are F-16 ADF (air defence fighters )Something to note is many F-16's have been upgraded to block 50 standard. Last time I checked less than 20 of them are still A/B.
Could you lay out the options?THE F35 is on order from the 16 nations
And these are pre orders with delivery scheduled upto 2025
we are talking NOW between TODAY and 2020
PAF will have to fight
rafales equipped with ,meteore BVRS and spectra EW suites
mirage2000 with mica bvrs new hmd and radars
su30mki pesa radars and tvc
mig29smt/k upgraded with new radars missles /HMS
THERE ARE OPTIONS but what will you do ??????????????????? realistically
J-10s : No
SU-35s : Yes
The IAF's numbers are going to decrease significantly in the coming years, so the gap won't face that much of a boost tbh.
Think you got that the wrong way around.
Could you lay out the options?
Other than the JF-17 Block 3.
JF-17s would be superior to J-10s.
J-10s would bring no value to PAF.
Could you lay out the options?
Other than the JF-17 Block 3.
That is y many senior analysts saythat 5th gen platform At this stage will give PAF superiority for a decade or more....read my huge analysis aboveplz...and also dont start thatj31 is atleast decade away or shit....when Yinks said that it will enter mass production by 2019 so that means it willImo REALISITICALLY in the next 3 years FOR PAF to get a shot in the ARM or a BOOSTER JAB
1., To reapproach USA and negotiate for 18 block 52 @ 1.5 billion dollas
2. If Trump does not play ball with financial assistance OR the indian lobby dstops additional falcons block 52 THEN PAF have to pursue used second hand F16 from Jordan x 14 planes
3. Least likely Flankers from Russia @ 20 planes...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Either way I expect the quality gap to grow substantially by 2020 in indian favour
36 rafale F3 with RBE2 Aesa Radars /spectra ew suites & meteore BVRS will be one generation ahead of PAF F16/52
50 Mirage2000/5 with new RDY radars new HMD and MICA bvrs gives india a new advanced western figter equal to anything in PAF.
272 su30mki & over 100 mig29smt/k gives IAF huge numbers pay load and range.
Finally by 2020 even the Tejas MK1 will be equipping 2 sqds with python & derby missles and the dash 5 HMS .
The quality of radars ew suites HMD/HMS displays and missle inventory in india by 2020 is a generation head
