Pakistan Wants Chinese J-31 Stealth Fighters




According to PAF Commander Marshal Zahir Ahmed Babar’s statement, the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) is interested in acquiring the J-31 stealth fighter jet.
Pakistan continues modernising its air force with the Chinese Chengdu J-10C Vigorous Dragon and plans to acquire the J-31 stealth fighter. Pakistan also has JF-17 Thunder fighters produced in cooperation with China.

PAF Commander Babar confirmed the acquisition plan; however, he took over command of the PAF in March 2021 and is expected to hand it over in March 2024.

Pakistan has experienced a political coup in 2022. Amid a constitutional crisis, Pro-Chinese Prime Minister İmran Khan lost his power then. The expectation was to see a more pro-US government in charge, but relations with China restarted a year later in 2023 and continue at full speed.

Pakistan Might Acquire J-35A and HQ-19 ABM from China TurDef
Pakistan has officially confirmed a major package of air force equipment offer from China, including J-35A fighters and HQ-19 ABMs following Chinese J-10C aircraft’s PL-15E air-to-air missile success.

The statement regarding the large-scale offer from China was released on the official X account of the Government of Pakistan.

China’s offer includes 40 J-35A fighters, KJ-500 AEW&C, and HQ-19 anti-ballistic missile (ABM) systems. Other than the military offer, Chinese technology firm Huawei will provide training to 100000 Pakistanis on AI.

China’s offer to Pakistan can be regarded as something stemming from the encouragement of the role of its equipment in the air victory against India during the recent conflict. A Chinese-made PL-15E air-to-air missile was used to shoot down an Indian Rafale fighter developed by France.

Pakistani Air Force makes extensive use of Chinese fighter jets and munitions. The fighter jets include a J-10C single-engine fighter and the co-developed CAC/PAC JF-17 Thunder as a lighter option. These fighters also use the PL-15E WVRAAM (JF-17 Block 3 and J-10C), using a dual-pulse rocket engine and AESA seeker.
