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)
PAF has already stated they are looking for LIFT. Wish people would comment with at least some basic research. What is open to debate is what that LIFT will be.
