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.

Pakistan had been claiming for a long time that it would soon get the fifth generation J-35 stealth fighter aircraft from China, but now the Defense Minister of Pakistan itself has made it clear that the J-35 is not being purchased at the moment. Two big reasons have also come out behind this, after which Pakistan’s claims are seen failing.

Regarding this reversal, defense experts believe that there may be two major reasons behind it. The first is that America’s rising pressure and the second inability to deliver the J-35 on time by China. According to sources associated with the defense industry, China’s J-35 project is not yet fully prepared and it does not seem possible to supply a large amount of supply in the near future. Pakistan makes big claims, but its ground reality is very weak. Now the same campaign seems to be reverse, especially in a time when India has given a big indication about the purchase of fifth generation fighter aircraft.

India can buy an advanced SU-57 fighter aircraft of Russia

The Defense Secretary of India had recently told that India is seriously considering the option of buying fifth generation fighter jets from a friendly country. This statement comes at a time when Russian President Vladimir Putin’s visit to India is proposed. It is being speculated that India may decide on the advanced SU-57 fighter aircraft of Russia. However, there is no official confirmation in this regard.

Pakistan’s increased tension after Operation Sindoor

This strategic preparation of India has increased concern in Pakistan. After seeing the impressive capabilities of the Indian Air Force during ‘Operation Sindoor’, there is a fear among Pakistan’s military analysts that India’s air power can be decisive in future.

Now Pakistan will play a new J-20 card

A new sign has now come out from Pakistan. Pakistan Air Force (PAF) former fighter pilot and defense analyst Khalid Chishti has claimed that if the supply of J-35 is delayed, Pakistan can demand a more advanced (J-20 Miti Dragon) stealth fighter jet from China.

J-20 is the fifth generation fighter jet of China, which is known for the ability to avoid radar and long distance firepower. However, it has been reserved only for the Chinese army so far and has not been exported to any other country.

Pakistan’s Defense Minister Khwaja Asif has rejected the news of buying China’s advanced J-35A Stealth Fighter Jet. In an interview, he described these reports as the speculation of the media, which aim only to promote China’s defense deals.

In June 2025, Bloomberg and other international media institutions claimed that Pakistan is going to become the first foreign customer of J-35A Stealth Fighter Jet developed by China. The aircraft is a fifth-generation stealth jet manufactured by China’s Shenyang Aircraft Corporation, which is equipped with modern technology and radar-distinguishing capacity. After these reports, the shares of Avic Shenyang Aircraft Corporation had a sudden jump of 10 percent.

What did Pakistan’s Defense Minister Khwaja Asif say?

In an interview given to Arab News, Pakistan’s Defense Minister Khwaja Asif clearly said, “We are not buying them.” He dismissed the news going on in the media outright, saying, “I think it’s just a matter of media. It is a good publicity for Chinese defense sales.”

What was the claim?

Recently, many international media reports including Bloomberg claimed that Pakistan is going to become the first foreign country to buy Advanced J-35A Stealth Fighter Jets of China. It was also told that these aircraft have been equipped with PL-17 long-range air-to-air missiles and Pakistan can get their delivery by August 2025.

It was also said in the reports that Pakistan’s pilots are being trained in China. Work on field readyness of about 30–40 aircraft has been completed. China is ready to give 50% discount on a deal of these aircraft.

Why does Pakistan not want to buy J-35 from China?

1. In May, the situation remains sensitive after clashes and air strikes on the border between India and Pakistan. In such a situation, confirmation of purchasing a stealth fighter aircraft from China will be considered directly for India. This can speed up arms race in South Asia. Also, diplomatic tension with India may increase further.

2. Pakistan is currently under strict economic supervision of IMF. In such a situation, the matter of buying billions of dollars fighter jets can raise questions on its financial discipline. By rejecting public public, Pakistan wants to show that it is adopting the responsible economic policy. This will also keep international support.

3. Many analysts believe that it was a well-planned trick of China, in which J-35A was promoted internationally by calling Pakistan a buyer through the media. In this way, there was an attempt to attract countries like Egypt, Algeria. At the same time, there is no official confirmation or denial from China.

China-pakistan weapon deal: China is now trying to take advantage of Pakistan’s restlessness due to India’s growing military power in South Asia. On the one hand, India is constantly strengthening its military strength with Rafael, Tejas and indigenous missiles, on the other hand, China now wants Pakistan to give a huge arms deal to Pakistan by citing “threat of India”. This is the reason why China has now offered Pakistan to provide advanced J-35 Stealth Fighter Jets, KJ-500 AWACS and HQ-19 air defense system.

J-35 Stealth Fighter: New flight to Pakistan’s air power
J-35 is China’s fifth generation stealth fighter jet, which is considered equivalent to F-35 of America. Equipped with advanced stealth technology, speed, and sensor fusion capabilities, this aircraft can give Pakistan a strategic lead in the air sector. If Pakistan Air Force gets these 40 fighters, it will increase its immunity against potential rivals like India manifold. J-35, Pakistan’s existing JF-17 Thunder will give strong support.

KJ-500 AWACS: A sharp eye on the sky
The KJ-500 is AWACS aircraft equipped with an advanced radar system, which can identify and track air and marine goals from a distance. The system is capable of giving real-time intelligence to the Air Force and the Army, making it easier to operate complex military operations. The association of this system will improve Pakistan’s Air Early Warning Capacity and Scheduical Awareness.

HQ-19 Air Defense System: Prevention of missiles and airstrikes
HQ-19 is capable of intercepting air defense systems, ballistic and cruise missiles as well as fighter aircraft. It is considered equivalent to the Russian S-400.
This system can create a layering security system like Pakistan’s iron dome, which will strengthen the security of military bases and important infrastructure.

New challenge for India?
India cannot take this military deal lightly. This sudden increase in Pakistan’s air power can affect the strategic balance of South Asia. Especially anti-mesile systems like HQ-19 can increase concern for India’s nuclear and missile policy.

Operation Sindoor: Pahalgam terror attack will have to bear the brunt of the terrorist attack, Pakistan did not know about it. India’s dreaded Rafale fighter jets caused havoc in Pakistan and PoK in Operation Sindoor, after that when Pakistan made another mistake, the Indian Army destroyed 11 airbase of Pakistan, not only that if there was no ceasefire, Karachi city would have reached the verge of waste. Looking at Rafael’s roar, now Pakistan has thought that it will buy 5th generation fighter jet, which will be able to compete with 4.5th generation Rafael.

The way India entered and attacked Pakistan, the neighboring country is scared. Now Pakistan Air Force is going to get a consignment of 5th generation Chinese fighter Jet J-35. Pakistan is considering buying 40 fighter jets simultaneously. Pakistan can get the first batch of Chinese J-35 by the end of this year.

China claims that these stealth fighter jet will be able to dodge the radar easily and this will increase the capacity of the Pakistani Air Force manifold. A retired Pak Army official has claimed that Pakistan Air Force will overtake India about 10 years ahead with the J-35A fleet.

China’s 5th generation fighter jet is J-35A

J-35A is China’s 5th generation stealth fighter jet. It has been prepared by Shinyang Aircraft Corporation. China also has a 5th-generation fighter fighter Jet J-20 Mighty Dragon. It is currently with the Chinese Army, while J-35A has been kept to sell to other countries. The way China keeps a separate fighter jet for its army and to sell other countries, it seems that it sells ‘junk’ to other countries. Well, Pakistan is now engaged in buying this ‘junk’ as soon as possible.

Negotiations for J-35 in the last phase: Babur

Pakistan Air Force Chief Air Marshal Zaheer Ahmed Babar Sidhu has also said that this fighter jet will be part of the Pakistani Air Force’s Combat Force. The conversation for the J-35A deal is in the last stage. These fighter aircraft will be deployed on the border. Pakistan can get full consignment in about two years.

Chinese fighter jet j-35 data leak: China and Pakistan have suffered a major setback in preparing their army against India. The data of the 5th-generation stealth fighter Jet J-35 from China was leaked from China. This has been confirmed by the Ministry of State Security of China’s Intelligence Department.

For this, China has sentenced former defense engineer Liu to the foreign intelligence agency to death for leaking data. Pakistan is the first country in the world to deal with J-35 Stealth Fighter Jet from China. Not only this, Pakistan has also sent its pilots to Beijing to take training. Pakistan Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif has come into tension after the news of the data leaking of the fighter jet J-35 came to light. This fighter jet has not yet joined the Pakistani army fleet, but its technology has already come out.

China sentenced its engineer to death

The Chinese intelligence agency said in its statement that Liu’s activities posed a huge threat to the security of the country. According to the Global Times, the engineer who leaked this data was an assistant engineer in the Chinese research institute. This institute works on defense technology. It is also told that the engineer was angry because he was not promoted, after which he had left the job too. Later he joined an investment firm. When his economic condition deteriorated, he leaked confidential documents of 5th generation fighter jet from China. In its change, he also got a lot of money from other countries. When the intelligence agency got a glimpse of it, he caught the accused engineer. He was later hanged on charges of treason.

China’s most important fighter jet is J-35

J-35 is China’s most updated stealth fighter jet. He was designed to not get caught in the grip of the radar and to attack the enemy vigorously. This twin engine blows the same pilot to the stealth fighter jet. The takeoff of 56.9 feet long and 15.9 feet high fighter jet is 28 thousand kg. It contains 7200 kg fuel. Its maximum speed is 1400 kilometers per hour. Its combat range is 1250 km. On refueling it can go up to 2000 km. It targets with air -to -air, air -to -ground missiles.
