I see cognitive dissonance - my Pakistani friends hoping (dreaming, fantasizing) for F-16s but thinking F-35s are entrapment, a ploy, a slave contract. Which is it? You can't have the cake and eat it too...
Sir,

The day F 35 arrives in endia, there will be something here to counter it.
Pakistan ?? is here to stay Insha Allah

Hi,

Please don't use this term---.

It shows that you have a very callous attitude towards the issue---.
Sir,
My attitude is not callous towards it. It's more like satisfied.
Whenever India got strategic advantage we always countered it.
And insha Allah this time will also be the same.
And also according to you sir,
F35 is a beast till it is undectable from long range, the day there are anti - stealth radars available it would be at a serious disadvantage.

Even if they sign an F35 deal, they wont be getting them before 2027-28 because of heavy backlog orders. And by that time, PAF will than go for Chinese stealth options atleast 2 squads. Options can be J31/J35 or even J20 if we able to convince Chinese.

That is not necessarily true. They can get production units much faster, given withdrawal of Turkey and slow down of global economy (causing many countries to wish to delay procurement). Ways can always be found.

Wishing the worst for the enemy is good. Banking on it is foolish.

To put things into better perspective, US has capacity to produce 160 / 180 F-35s per year. This is the fastest produced combat aircraft in the world currently. In contrast, JF-17 production has been 16 per year and now increasing to 24 per year. China produces about 50 J-10s per year.

When did reactionary procurements hurt the nation? Any example plz
Didn't say "Procurements" but stop gap measures are a waste of money and Pakistan has done those during kargil etc. If they were being proactive then there wouldn't have been any need for stop gap measures. It would already have been taken into account.

Slow down has occurred for India as well so they are feeling the heat also. What I believe is , they are most likely to add more Rafales than F-35s. And I said earlier, if they go for F35 than our Chinese stealth options are on the table as well. Japan just a week back announced further import of F35s. Australia also have such plans. Americans manufacturers got their plate full for the next few years.

This is a beast. And Indian Pilots are not that great but they are not that bad either. Therefore we need a F 16 Block 72 or EF or some other beast fast.

How many Rafales India had on 27th February?

Obviously India don't fight only at battle ground, they have back door channels with Pakistani leadership.
In 1999 it was US and in 2019 it was Iran, who saved India.

As long Pakistan don't purge US-Iranian slaves from Pakistan's state apparatus, not even F35 can help.

BTW.. what does India have out of the picture you posted.. Meteor! Does Pakistan not have Pl-15?
Clearly India is step behind Pakistan in technology, training and tactics.
