May be Tejas + sukhoi isn't working for India for China threat
There is always money out of 30 billion dollars annual budget !
I think I have shared in start of the thread that how south korean are upgrading their F-16 thunder to AESA
In presence of SU-30MKI & upcoming PAK FA, do you think instead upgrading them Rafael has been bought along with TOT, a wise decision ?
If you are going for aid or soft loan then I doubt it, it is not going to be happening till 2020
If 1.2 billion dollars can be allocated for metro then AESA...
Totally agreed ,,,,,,,,,, all F-16 can be AESA upgraded less than 600 million dollars ,,,,,,,,,,,,,, JF-17 can be done in 1.2 billion dollars ............. that is it ,,,,,,,,,,, we already have BVR and AWACS

Heard china is modifying AESA radars for JF-17 thunder, I don't know how much successful the project is but if you buy a massive quantity of AESA like 200. Such costs are covered along with it !
high-end AESA radars increase the cost by 3-5 Million $ per aircraft, If 150 gets in production 450-750 million dollars are required. I think it is worth it but I don't know it is unavailability of the AESA radars to Pakistan or negligence of PAF officials
India can't buy every best thing in the world. Su-35, typhoon, F-15 SE, Gripen 39 NG, J-20 and J-31. You just need to have $ in your pockets. PAF is playing much smartly than IAF with in small budget
Where Pakistan's missiles and SAM stands at this point ? Preparations and counter preparations to be discussed.
