are you ready bitches? :D
 
50-60 of these would be ideal we had this in hand by Jinah Airport , no Terrorist would have been able to walk into airport and then to runway it would have faced a check mate from Hind patrolling the airport

And I doubt any bike person would dare fire and expect to escape on a motor bike if this bird was in air patrolling city
 
WE should extend our defence ties with Russia, its time to make the right choice..
 
Now Karachi airport attack will speed up the delivery process.....
 
They are really nice birds,has performed exceptionally well in Indian services. Great choice PAF!
 
Everything in our inventory , even if it is from earlier years , is used effectively and it looks good

Hopefully the deal will be closed as win-win ( or as close as possible win-win ) for both Russia and Pakistan
