PAF's latest Platform The JH-7
As seen from the top pic leaked on social media, and seen over the skies of Karachi.
2 Initially arrived, and then 4 on Thursday 30th July.
The 2 that arrived were new built, and the 4 that arrived were used airframes, upgraded to double their life.
All of them carry AESA radars and Chinese engines., and latest upgraded avionics, and nearly a Generation ahead of those in service with PLAAF.
With these 6, PAF's new procurements stand as follows:
J15 - 10
J10P - 8 (J10P is a further upgrade of J10C)
JH7 - 6
Initially a full Sqdn is planned for the JH-7's, but later more could be added.
IA An induction ceremony, for all 3 platforms, could be as soon as Wednesday TENTATIVELY!
Note:
1) 2nd pic is for illustrative purposes only
2) Patch is Fan Art
3) I wouldn't be surprised, if IAF hearing the news of 3 new PAF inductions, crashes 3 Rafales.
