✅ 2) Keep J-35 + PFX on track
This is where the future fear is born:
India is upgrading current jets, while Pakistan is keeping eyes on next-gen survivability and stealth.
Even talk of this alters strategic planning.
✅ 3) Induct JF-17 Block-III in serious numbers
This is the actual killer move.
Because once a platform has:
-
AESA radar
-
modern avionics
-
scalable production
…it becomes the most dangerous kind of aircraft:
The one you can afford to field in quantity.
This is exactly why export talks are now accelerating.
The Global Demand Engine: Why JF-17 Is Winning Attention
The biggest misconception online is that buyers choose jets like fans choose football teams.
No.
Buyers choose jets like ministries choose highways:
cost, availability, supply chain, politics, training, and delivery schedules.
Reuters’ reporting on Pakistan’s defence export push shows a pattern:
-
Sudan deal talks (drones, aircraft, air defence)
-
Saudi loan-conversion talk tied to JF-17 purchases
-
And now Indonesia negotiations
That is not “PR”.
That is a pipeline.
Why JF-17 sells:
-
Lower acquisition + operating cost vs Western fighters
-
Fewer export restrictions
-
Pakistan can offer training + maintenance + doctrine package
-
Proven integration with drones and air defence concepts
-
A structured production story (not a one-off purchase)
And the most brutal part?
