So you want to say, the official statement of minister is wrong, but some funny fan-boy's claims are correct or a post that has been deleted from an official post? The one that by the way only claimed Pakistan GOT AN OFFER, and never said they will come or even when they will come?
All I'm saying is that the minister isn't the guy you think he is, he's on the job because he's been with the party for decades and he has a history of saying stuff on his own and not in an official capacity. He's previously mishandled the communication on the aftermath of the 6/7 May ops by PAF and he's unilaterally stated that the Simla Agreement was void. In any proper political establishment he'd been booted by now but regardless of the fact that he holds the job or not, it is obvious that he is at times speaking in a personal capacity and we have no idea when he is doing so.
So far we have that deleted tweet but also a statement by the air chief back in 2024 that
, and those are to me a lot more credible than the statements by the defence minister. And from what I've been able to gather from sources is that one of the major reasons to induct the J-10s was to pave the way for a 5th gen acquisition from China.
