Three Firebird fighters from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/global\/asia-pacific\/2022\/01\/03\/pakistan-confirms-chinese-firebird-fighter-acquisition\/\" target=\"_blank\">an initial order of 25<\/a> are believed to be in Pakistan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kaiser Tufail, an analyst who previously flew the F-16 during his military career, thinks the Firebird was a good choice for the Pakistan Air Force.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe J-10, being in the class of the F-16C Block 52 in terms of range and weapons payload, it was the obvious choice for adding to the numbers of PAF\u2019s [fourth-generation-plus] fighters,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, he added, \u201cany acquisition from [the United States] under the current \u2018cold\u2019 relationship was neither possible nor feasible.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He also believes the acquisition was an \u201cappropriate response\u201d to India\u2019s Rafale purchase. Although Pakistan has historically been a committed French customer, the high costs of that country\u2019s hardware encouraged Islamabad to look to Beijing, \u201can old and trusted friend.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He also said the J-10C and Rafale are comparable due to the former\u2019s active electronically scanned array radar and PL-15 beyond visual range air-to-air missile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhile the radar and [beyond visual range] missile capabilities of the Rafale and J-10 are highly classified, it is fair to say that they have broadly similar capabilities,\u201d he noted. \u201cWith no possibility of [the Pakistan Air Force] being able to upgrade its [advanced medium-range air-to-air missiles] to the longer-ranged versions, the PL-15 is considered the right antidote to the Rafale\u2019s Meteor.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Firebird is also a high-end complement to the more numerous JF-17 jets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe J-10 is by no means a substitute to the JF-17, as it is in a different class altogether. With more range and weapons payload, the J-10 forms the \u2018high\u2019 end of the high-low mix, with the JF-17 workhorse performing the bulk of \u2018routine\u2019 operations. Both types can also be perfectly \u2018paired,\u2019 as both share many avionics, data link and [electronic warfare] capabilities,\u201d Tufail explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Other new equipment showcased during the parade included the Chinese-supplied SH-15 155mm truck-mounted howitzer and HQ-9P long-range air defense system, as well as the indigenous Shahpar-2 combat drone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The SH-15 has a maximum reported firing range of about 53 kilometers, making it Pakistan\u2019s longest-range tube artillery system, and helping the country standardize on a single caliber along with its U.S.-supplied M109 and M198 howitzers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Stockholm International Peace Research Institute, a think tank that tracks arms sales, has not listed the HQ-9P in Pakistan\u2019s inventory, and the Asian nation has not officially confirmed its acceptance into the military. SIPRI does, however, list the CH-3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Raja Khan, who leads drone-maker Integrated Dynamics, previously told Defense News the Burraq was locally developed based on the configuration of a 1970s kit plane designed by Burt Rutan. China helped rig the finished product with missiles, but then copied and exported it as the CH-3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Shahpar-2 is a larger and more heavily armed combat UAV based on the same design lineage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite Pakistan\u2019s ability to domestically develop UAVs, the country still purchases Chinese and Turkish drones. None were on display.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The parade was witnessed by foreign ministers from the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation, who are attending a conference in Islamabad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pakistan was commemorating March 23, 1940, when the Muslim leadership in the eastern city of Lahore demanded independence from British rule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In his speech, Pakistani President Arif Alvi called for making the 57-member organization more effective by forming unity among Muslim countries. He said that Pakistan was a peace-loving country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe will never make any compromise on our sovereignty,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p
