That's for sure. American won't sell their latest war machine fighter (F-35)to pk airforce and pk airforce can't afford to buy such high price/high tech airplane.:pdf:
Pakistan should go for Y-8, C-27J aircraft. It is more ideal for pk air force. For heavy transport, i think it is hard for pk air force to buy C-17 Globe master. From other hand, IL-76 is more ideal but production delays is really threatening. Look at china acquiring more IL-76.
why don't Pakistan join JL-9 or L-15. I believe they are more capable than K-8 and can be used as attack aircraft in war time crisis. It can also train pilots for coming soon J-10, F-16 high-tech aircraft.
