F-16 - 90% YES
EuroFighter - Back burner, no funds. The Turks messed this one up for PAF. Had they not jumped in and started looking at the used Italian ones, the financial terms would have been in PAF's favor.

J-10 / J-15 / J-16 = ONE platform has been agreed upon in principle, subject to further tech & financial negotiations. Which One? (:-)
Do give a reason / guess why you think it would be that platform.
J10 or J16, more likely J16.
If J16 then SU35 chapter is closed?

Do we really want to introduce J20 and make it easy for India to obtain F35?

That is a fair point. Especially given that project AZM is still a decade from paying up anything. In addition to the many economic issues that need time to be resolved.

The only good reason I can see for us getting something like this would be if we intend to make extraordinary moves on the Kashmir front.

Other than that, I agree that it may end up being counter productive for us to introduce something like this into our theatre.

We have no experience handling two engine planes.

India has no clue about capabilities of J10 compared to J16etc

India does not have any clue about the other two J- Twins as well

We have been doing exercises against J10 for ever and know the plane very well.
PAF has been doing ex's against other J-series as well. Here is a pic of Commander Southern Command in a ......

He started with J20 and then J16 and then he said not sure but J series.
Isn't this called shooting in the dark? It's bound to hit something. It's like using a buck shot instead of a bullet, it is bound to hit something. |0|

DG ISPR recently in a press conference, nicely put it: "these journos talk, like they were actually sitting in that meeting".

Thanks for Fantan reminder. How could I forget them. I used to watch them take off from my uncle’s roof top.

India knows everything about Su30/27..... they have been flying them for years. Su30 have poor showing on feb27 so I will be surprised if we go after something we already know is not up to the par .Chinese have the copies so really nothing left to guess for Indians.
J16 is terribly expensive to maintain and their overhaul cycle is very short .... are we willing to spend so much money?

One thing that can be openly disclosed for now, is that it will be tailor made for PAF, so Avionics, EW, Engine will all be better than what PLAAF flies right now.
