Can we discuss how realistic is this potential acquisition, given the current economic situation in Pakistan. And why is this no where else on the internet?

Instead of asking questions, why dont you provide your point of view?

In my opinion, It will have a powerful AESA radar (same as J-16), Link-17 datalinks to mate with ZDK-3 & Erieyes. PL-15s
I believe this bad boy can carry 2+ ra'ad 2 for long range interdiction strikes as well as CM400AKGs.
REKs will be mated as well. The EW version will most probably carry a Chinese ARM.

And most importantly buddy to buddy refueling.

On the ammo pkg, can you expand more?

Yes Buddy refueling pods are essential.

I was adding Pak specific armament Ra'ad & Babur. REK is essentially LS6 standoff munitions. It will have access to all other chinese ammunition available. Curious to what the EW variant has to offer vis a vis electronic suppression and missiles.
I would also love to see CX-1 equipped J-15s to counter Brahmos.
We keep looking at long range strikes against lower western ghat targets. These can be used to take off from gwadar, buddy refuel over the Arabian sea and loop back over and through Gujarat and strike North Indian targets from behind as well.

Then why is the PLANAF buying JL-9s for training J-15 pilots?
It is a good LIFT a/c, given that PAF was looking for a new LIFT platform, maybe?

is it just me ya ye plane sach mey tiddi pehlwan lag raha ha ?
Actually if you look at background of this , its just some modification of F7 jet. thay even use blueprints of sabre project in it. Intial concept was have light weight fighter for poor countries which even cant afford thundar and when elevates its find suitable for training
My point is that, Pakistan air force already have enough of f7 , thay never going to have similar thing of f7. (Its my point of view based on some logic and background)
