He is very happy right now. Actually everyone here is so happy except few guests xd.
Everyone is happy, except those more loyal to Iran than their own soil.

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. (:-)

EDIT: 02 Aug 2020
IA Induction Ceremony is planned for Wed, if no rains, otherwise postponed by a week.
I didn't get it, if PLAAF can sell upgraded JH-7, why don't they use it plus J-15 is a carrier based platform, why PAF is even interested in it?

The mystery disapperence of a sub worthy enough to be written as a novel by the late Tom Clancy ?
Just look at the location, and why 2 P8's, were flying circuits off Gujrat, for nearly a day straight. And ships were doing the same, later downgraded to one just sitting there.

AESA, PL-15, JH-7A, J-15, SD-10A, CM400-AKG, J-10P, PL-5E, JY-27A, VT-4, MIRV, AIP, SSN.... Boys like their toys, and I like them too. But there is a bigger game afoot.

China is undertaking a massive upgrade of Pak military. One aspect is to protect shipping from Gwadar. But the other is to protect Pakistan’s EEZ. If Khafee is right about Kekra-1, then the projection of this naval and air power is to protect the oil resources.

There maybe enough oil in Pakistan’s EEZ for Pakistan and China till complete decarbonization. This means China’s energy independence from the Middle East. This is a very big deal. US can no longer cripple Chinese economy by stopping their oil.

This would explain the massive upgrade in Pak capabilities (and the loss of INS Kalvari). It also makes an Indo-Pak war more likely.

The 9/11 era is over and a new game will now start.

If this is what happened then why was kekra 1 called a bluff/said that no oil is there ?
