Sir @Mastankhan

Once again on this Auspicious occasion, will love to hear from you how this Platform will/should be used against IN & Ground Targets as well of Indian Coast. It will be a fresh reminder to us & a lesson for newbies that why this platform was inducted.

Regards,
I would want to make an AI based on @Mastankhan , Atleast future trainees could get good guidance from his Mental capacity and Might.

Bro don't underestimate JH7... especially an upgraded one with AESA. It's spey engines have a low flying capability...so it can diminish enemy's radar range advantage. By the time it's detected due to its low flight...it can close range to be within a couple hundred km range of the target...and with standoff weapons like cruise missiles...
...it can fire and turn around to speed outta there.
Spey engines GONE, More reliable, Higher thrust, Higher MTBO, Chinese engines now.

The range of this aircraft without refueling is almost 3700 km..... meaning it can strike any part of Indian costal area while flying in from the Arabian Sea..... imagine the terror when all their naval bases are now exposed and their assets deployed deep in the ocean are no longer out of our reach.....

Where are they going to park their carriers now ?
JH7 is a BOMB TRUCK.

It is as if you have a Ground attack specialized F-15.

Even as a BVR Truck, And the use of AWACS or other fighter’s radar to get a lock, JH7 could launch the truck load of BVRs or Anti Ship missiles on any Indian Navy/Air force asset.

In simple words, IAF and IN with all their numerical superiority, Are going narrow

It's getting intresting, does it mean J-15 will be used as air superiority role and EW role?

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:

Live long & prosper brother.
There couldn't have been a better eidi for us diehards.

@Mastankhan Sahib, you stand vindicated sir.
Congratulations.

@Mangus Ortus Novem Sir, we are missing your participation ... in this most unprecedented of the circumstances.

Aren't we getting J15s for this particular reason?

Can’t figure out TBH.

Hopefully the induction ceremony would clear things up.

What I for the time being believe, That all three types will be respectfully distributed among squadrons, Especially JH-7, JH-7 could be used for strike and EW, Mirages would lose their importance to much extent.

If mirages get a BVR upgrade, PAF can convert them to BVR fighters instead of just Bombers, So in easy words, Too complicated to understand
