Seems Pakistan being given green light for 40 J-35, KJ-500 AWACS and also HQ-19 Air Defense Syatem. While Pakistan also got deal from Azerbaijan to acquire 40 JF-17. Well will see how India going to replying China Gen 5 Fighter, in Pakistan. I agree more likely they will increase talk with Russia for Su-57.

40 JF-17 Block III for Azerbaijan, I wonder what this means for Pakistan's own orders.

HQ-19 acquisition would be interesting. Since 1998 Pakistan has actively advocated against ABM systems in South Asia, and now Pakistan has an offer for a system that also doubles up as an ASAT.

K-500 offer, though not surprising, was unexpected. Pakistan has 9 very capable SAAB Erieye systems but needs replacement for the 3 older ZDK-03 AEW&C. I think the overall number of AEW&C will come up to 12 to 15 systems, which is very good for a country of Pakistan's size.

USA is already stipulating conditions to India, even before it begins contemplating American weapons, especially F-35. On the other hand, there are rumours that Russia is offering Su-57 with ToT and source codes. TBH, source code thing feels like an excuse for losing Rafales. I don't think it will make a major difference if Russia provides India with Su-57 source code or not. However, it does sweeten the pot.

Circulating online of J-10CE Pakistan AF that's being claim as the one that shoot down India AF Rafale. The claim now shown on the silhoutte of Rafale in the Fuselage. One thing for sure the result increase export marketability of J-10 and PL-15.

That colour scheme is nice! As for marketability, if I was a politician on the lookout for a new fleet of jets, this is how superficial i would be

It little bit reminds me of the old sea grey medium and dark green disruptive pattern camouflage used on British aircrafts in the '50s - '70s, like the Avro Vulcan, Blackburn Buccaneer and HS Harrier.

I think PAF only has one or two aircraft with this paint scheme. Reminds me of the V-bomber colour scheme also.

No info on the performance parameter for this BVR Missile so far that I could find. Still it will provide Pakistan with their own independent choice. Similar with what India has with Astra BVR Missile.
