Sir is PAF/PN seriously considering J-35 or evaluating and gaining data for project Azam, like they did in 2000-2010s era for JF-17?
Some update, J-35 is a serious contender, and not related to AZM. Although if it is selected, it wont land until 2023~2024 at least.

I think we have already use the twin engine jets in past like F-6 , A,-5 ( Nanchang)
Both were phased out mid 90s. Your current crop of engineers and pilots have no experience managing or flying twin heavies (unless a few on deputations to foreign AFs)

You mean to say, once a skill set is attained, it dies out with the platform?

Not with the platform but with the people when they transition out. The last batch that worked on the finicky WP6 have either retired or close to it.

Plus the heavies are a different ball game. Not saying we can't, PAF has been reviewing SU27 types since 1997.

Meaning once people transition out, that skill set is gone?

I would not say gone altogether, but experiences count and are handed down. If there is no continuation?
