This is funny. But Pakistan is in a position to pay for these, and more. Just so you know. This isn't the Pakistan of 2012....

We are short on cash not broke. Secondly payment is usually made over the years not all at once. If we can buy 8 subs and potentially frigates then this should be a pieceof cake.

Getting Hell fire missiles is not that difficult, getting the helicopters was the main challenge. And i think by the time these helicopters arrive our terrorism problem will be pretty much solved, leaving them to stop tanks. A thousand hell fires being fired in a war by 15 helicopters would be a feat ..
