Tell this to U.S.A, which is confident about safety of our nuclear weapons. Even one step foward, they are helping us for max security from decades.
If you don't accept Newyork times about aid program and other links as source, this is not my headache.
U.S.A will continue to support us and we are front line state against war on terrorism, one reason we are continue to receive zulus with hellfire missiles and other many many gadgets.
Now, don't derail the thread. U.S.A will continue to support us on international forums on nuclear safety issue and aid for nuclear safety as written in Newyork times.

WELL IN THAT CASE, I HOPE THE FALL IS NOT OVERLY HARD FOR YOU..
Word is that PAF already has knowledge of Su-27 but lets go further back than that: F-6 and F-7 are effectively Soviet/Russian tech that PAF adapted to very easily.. Wasn't there a Chinese Su-27 in Pakistan recently? I'll bet on it that China has been giving PAF key input on operating Su-27s/30s.
2.5 AND 3RD GENERATION FIGHTERS AND THE 4TH GENERATION FIGHTERS ARE A DIFFERENT BALL GAME ALL TOGETHER. YES F6 ,F7 ARE ALL BUT SOVIET FIGHTER DESIGNS BUT THE TRANSITION TIME IS QUITE LONG
FOR EXAMPLE, WHEN INDIA BOUGHT THE FLANKER IN THE 1999, WE WERE ALREADY FLYING THE MIG 21 BISON CONFIGURATION (WHICH IS THE HIGHEST AVAILABLE CONFIGURATION ON THE MIG 21 MODEL) FOR MORE THAN 2 DECADES.. AND THE PILOTS WHO WERE MIG 21-BISON ACES WERE TRANSITIONED IN THE FLANKERS. YET IT WAS NOT UNTIL 2009 THAT WE WERE ABLE TO MASTER THE BIRD TO ITS CAPACITY..
THRUST VECTOR CONTROL IS ITSELF A TRICKY BUSINESS.
BESIDES, YES OF COURSE, THE CHINESE WILL HELP YOU, SOO WILL THE RUSSIANS IF THE DEAL HAPPENS.. BUT I DON'T SEE A VIABLE ECONOMIC PATH FOR THE DEAL LIKE I HAVE MENTIONED EARLIER.
..
THE MOST SENSIBLE WOULD BE TO BUY THE FLANKERS FOR YOUR NAVY EXPLOITING ITS HUMONGOUS RANGE TO THE FULLEST, BUT THE BUDGET OF YOUR NAVY IS FAR TOO LESS AND ITS REQUIREMENTS FAR TOO MUCH (SIMILAR TO INDIA) AND EVEN IF SOMEHOW PAKISTAN MANAGES TO PURCHASE NAVAL SU35S, THERE WILL BE A PARADOX IN YOUR OWN FORCES AS THE NAVY WILL OPERATE THE MOST ADVANCE JET INSTEAD OF YOUR AIR FORCE.
IF AT ALL THE DEAL COMES THROUGH, IT WILL PERHAPS BE A SQUADRON OF SU27'S OR SOMETHING (TO KEEP THE INDIAN'S FROM GETTING PISSED).. AS THE RUSSIANS DO NEED THE MONEY.
BASICALLY, TOO MANY IF'S AND BUT'S.. I DON'T SEE THIS BEING PULLED OFF. I PERSONALLY THINK ITS A RUSSIAN BARGAIN CHIP TO LEVERAGE THE FGFA PROJECT WITH THE INDIANS.
PS: WE MUST ALSO NOT FORGET THAT THE MMRCA IS STILL NOT SCRAPPED AND THE RUSSIANS ALONG WITH OTHERS HAVE RESTARTED THEIR LOBBYING FOR THEIR FIGHTERS. (NEW MMRCA IS FOR THE POSSIBLE TOT AND PRODUCTION OF 90+ FIGHTERS IN INDIA, NEW TENDERS STILL NOT RELEASED..). SO RUSSIA WOULD WANT TO BE IN INDIA'S BEST BOOKS TILL THE MMRCA CONCLUDES, FOR THE SAKE OF ITS OWN MIG 35.. IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN...
Tell this to U.S.A, which is confident about safety of our nuclear weapons. Even one step forward, they are helping us for max security from decades.
