Pakistan has moved to purchase arms from China instead of America in the last few years. The Pakistani army is constantly buying weapons from China, including fighter jets. After eating mouth from India in Operation Sindoor, Pakistan wants to buy 5th generation fighter fighter fighter jet from China. It has been said by the Pak Army many times that it will soon get the J-35 fighter jet, but it has suffered a shock from his close friend China because there is no possibility of getting J-35 for the next 10 years, not a year or two.

According to a report by Sunday Guardian, Pakistan’s Air Force will operate the 5th generation fighter Jet J-35 in this decade, the possibility of it is negligible. Experts believe that J-35 will be seen in the sky of Pakistan even in the early 2030s, it is also difficult. This is being said because China is not currently ready to sell its 5th generation fighter jet to Pakistan.

How long will Pakistan get J-35?

Pakistan Army officials have been speculating about the J-35 fighter jet since the beginning of 2024. However, these fighter jets are still present in China only as prototypes, flight training. It is expected that before the end of this decade, China’s PLA will use J-35 and after that it will be exported. This indicates that these fighter jets are not going to get to Pakistan.

The discussion of J-35 deal started in PAK!

The discussion on the purchase of this aircraft in Pakistan started in January 2024. Pakistan Air Chief Marshal Zaheer Ahmed Babur had announced that the process of purchasing J-35 (FC-31) has been started. He had indicated that its supply would start in a few months. It was told in the reports in Pakistani media that 40 jets will be purchased from China. There was a lot of discussion in the media, but till date no official agreement has been announced.

Why is J-35 different deal separate?

Speaking to The Sunday Guardian, Defense Experts said that the J-35 deal is not like other defense deals in China-Pakistan. The aircraft benefit from this. J-35 is a Chinese 5th generation stealth aircraft equipped with avionics and technical capabilities, but this aircraft is not yet in operation and its engine program is still underway.
China has a history that he exports weapons only when he has served in PLA. This means that if China considers the export of J-35, then even if the agreement is announced today, it will take many years. Keeping this in mind, China has not signed any formal agreement with Pakistan for the export of J-35 as it first operates the fighter jet itself, after that it will check its performance and then export it.

Why did China avoid giving J-35 to Pak?

For China, J-35 is not only a fighter jet, but also a complete technical package. Pakistan is the security partner and partner of China. At the same time, it has an important partnership with the US, he operates the American F-16 jet aircraft and its intelligence information has also been exchanged with the US, which is definitely visible on Beijing. Caution taken by China is an indication that Pakistan will not operate J-35 in the next 10 years. Apart from this, China also understands that if it gives Pakistan a 5th -generation fighter jet, its relations with India may deteriorate, after which India can be promoted defense cooperation from western countries. Due to all these reasons, China would have avoided giving J-35 fighter jets to Pakistan at this time.
