Acquisition of J-15 for PAF- Air Superiority & Deep Strike Platfrom

[baqai]

hypothetically they will not be totally useless, lets assume a scenario in which they are flying with their AESA on while the escorts have their radar's off and relying on the picture given to them via Link-17, much like what our enemy like to do with Mig-21 and MKI combo

 

[Aadi]

with having J-15 and J-10 what would be purpose of having another strike platform? what roles would they play?

JF-17 MR
F-16 MR
J-15 Naval
J-10C Interceptor replacing F-7
JH-7AII Strike replacing Mirage

is that what you are saying

It will most likely be for air superiority role along with f16 block70.
If we were to replace our mirages then why are we buying egyptian ones?

Stealth J-7s

Can't it be a stealth fighter?

- J20 seems unlikely...though still possible.

- J31 seems even more unlikely...not fully developed yet...not put through its paces.

- J35 maybe progressing along behind the scenes...PAF may be interested...but again I would doubt PAF would go for things that are not yet fully operational.

Maybe a stealth drone? What's the naming scheme of Chinese stealth drones? Is the same with J(some number)?
EDIT: Just looked it up it was Sharp Sword...GJ11

You can find the releavant reason in the mirage thread

 

[Wolf-PK]

If it's not a stealth fighter, then it can most likely be the advanced AESA upgraded JH-7 called JH-7AII.

You got it bro

oh year where do those Mirages fit in the equation, are you coming up with our own dedicated tactical nuke squadron?

If it is this...@Mastankhan is gonna take us all out to dinner.

You said jh-7 to replace mirage strike role so that's not going to happen because paf is buying more mirages to keep the fleet flying.
And the third platform khafee is talking about may be use for air superiority along with f16.
Im not expert but that's what i think.

Maybe we are replacing Mirage III's and keeping Mirage V's? honestly i am baffled with this third player in the contest

Here is a youtube video suggesting JH7s possible acquisition. If China is phasing them out, they will be available at a very low price. MastanKhan was always advocating for them as they are fighter-bomber and can carry multiple heavy missiles deep inside Indian territory. Infect they will give PAF a capability to attack India from additional fronts other than Eastern border.

How do they get past the S-400's?

CM's and SOW's.

Edit: In some cases, long range MLRS. Pls dont ask which ones. Feel free to figure it out yourself.

EDIT: Just looked it up it was Sharp Sword...and it's GJ11...so doesn't start with J...Khafee hinted it's a J. Back to square one then.

No I did not such thing. Pls quote where I did.

So it’s JH-7A... reading between lines but why invest in it... I’m not an expert but this would take another platform which looks obsolete
