[🇵🇰-Airforce] Pakistan to Get Chinese-Made Shenyang J-35 Fifth-Gen Fighter Aircraft Within 24 Months

[Saif]

in fact. We are preparing to keep the J-7 to strike Rafale. you know, the Indian MiG-21 can shoot down F-16

I appreciate your sense of humor

Is this why India cannot manufacture MACA airframes? So why is India begging for SU-57?

its all about national priorities specially of those who make the nation run and take such decissions we can only ponder what hapenned or what dint ????

its not that they dint had money or expertise or the need or the will problem is project management where indian beurocracy fucks up every good thing MCA/AMCA project is no different

manohar parikker when he was alive had almost cleared all the decks and started the actual process but once he was gone these babbons of MOD yet again fucked it all up

DEFENCE SECURITY ASIA) – Pakistan has reportedly approved the purchase of the Chinese-made fifth-generation fighter jet, the Shenyang J-35, with deliveries expected within 24 months.

According to Pakistan’s 24 News HD media outlet, this acquisition is part of Pakistan Air Force’s (PAF) efforts to enhance its capabilities and widen the gap between its air power and that of India.

The Shenyang J-35 is expected to outperform India’s advanced fighters, such as the Rafale and Sukhoi Su-30MKI.

This advantage is projected to remain until India secures its own fifth-generation fighter jets.

Earlier this year, the PAF hinted at its intent to acquire the Shenyang J-35/FC-31 “Gyrfalcon,” developed by China’s Shenyang Aircraft Corporation.

PAF Chief of Air Staff, Air Chief Marshal Zaheer Ahmed Baber Sidhu, stated that the Shenyang J-35/FC-31 would enter service “soon.”

Summary:

Pakistan has approved the acquisition of the Chinese-made fifth-generation fighter jet, the J-35, with deliveries expected within 24 months. This move aims to enhance the Pakistan Air Force’s (PAF) capabilities and widen its technological edge over India, which still relies on 4.5-generation fighters like the Rafale and Sukhoi Su-30MKI.

The J-35, developed by Shenyang Aircraft Corporation, is designed for air combat and air-to-ground operations. PAF pilots are already undergoing training in China to operate the aircraft, signaling its imminent inclusion in Pakistan’s fleet. The acquisition aligns with Pakistan’s broader strategy to modernize its air force, replacing aging F-16s and Mirage 5s with advanced fighters.

This deal also reflects China’s growing influence as a defense supplier, with the J-35 joining the J-10C and JF-17 in PAF’s inventory. Analysts view the J-35 as a significant boost to Pakistan’s air power and a key component of its future aerial strategy.

Negotiations for the procurement of the Shenyang J-35/FC-31 have reportedly been finalized, with PAF pilots already undergoing training in China to operate the aircraft.

The acquisition of the Shenyang J-35 has raised concerns in neighboring India, which still relies on 4.5-generation fighters like the Sukhoi Su-30MKI and Rafale.

The move underscores Pakistan’s commitment to advancing its aerial capabilities while highlighting China’s growing role as a defense supplier.

At the recent Airshow China 2024 in Zhuhai, China unveiled official images of its second fifth-generation stealth fighter, the Shenyang J-35A.

Designed for air combat and air-to-ground operations, the Shenyang J-35A reflects China’s ambition to compete with the United States in developing stealth fighters.

Chinese J-20

With the Shenyang J-35A, China joins the U.S. as the only nations to produce two distinct fifth-generation fighters, the Shenyang J-35A and J-20 “Mighty Dragon,” akin to the American F-35 and F-22 “Raptor.”

The inclusion of the Shenyang J-35 into PAF’s inventory complements earlier acquisitions of Chinese aircraft, including the J-10C and the jointly developed JF-17.

Analysts suggest the Shenyang J-35 will replace Pakistan’s aging F-16s and Mirage 5s, signaling a shift towards a more modern and diversified air force. – DSA

Cheers.

Please ask Indian friends to give a serious answer：Where did the Indian Su-30 discover the J-20?

Height? Location? Latitude and longitude?

Please release the flight photos of J-20 captured by Su-30 camera. If the Su-30 has a camera, if Indians know what a camera is.

Indians say that the J-20 does not meet the standards.. Is this standard based on 'Indian MiG-21 shooting down F-16'?

J-20, WS-15 Engine!



J-35A, WS-15 Engine!


J-16, WS-10 Engine!


India, a backward agricultural country that cannot even manufacture airframes. Talking about 'standards'?!

@Bilal9 @Guru Dutt @Saif

Same engine which has turned 19 J10 into debris killing pilots in almost all cases except couple of incidents.More they meet crashes, more aggressively they campaign for this junk fighter.

Let's talk about attendance rate. Okay?

J-10C vs Indian Air Force.

It makes sense for China to close the market before Kaan arrives

I don't think Chinese care much about KAAN.

Pakistan may buy J35, J20 or KAAN. It does not make any difference unless it is F35, F22(Which is not available for sale) or Su 35.

Turkey does not even own its own parts forget engines. Why compare yourself to China here?

So - India is getting F-35s finally? F-21s as well?

Yes but we don't want that. It didn't perform well in MMRCA competition. We wanted either Eurofighter or Rafale. We are facing engine issue. We should work on it. Now we have the ability to make really world class aircrafts. We just need engine nothing else.

Saudi Arabia choose Kaan

ah. Looking forward to seeing Saudi Air Force KAAN.

KAAN is a so called stealth fighter Saudi Arabia won't buy it.

 

[Bilal9]

KAAN is a so called stealth fighter Saudi Arabia won't buy it.

That is a pretty bold statement!

What do you base that on - if I may ask? Meaning the so-called Stealth fighter part - I don't care what Saudis buy or don't buy.

The entire NATO considers that as a problem for non-Chinese stealth aircraft competition.

The fact that they have this is something. And probably will be ten years ahead of the AMCA.

@LegionnairE your kind thoughts.
