well i dont understand the BAF
1st they buy mig29. then they dump it and buy f-7s ..which is a very odd choice then they turn back to buy yak130 again..
thye should have brough just 6-12 gripens(if they hate pakistan enough to buy the FC-1) AND few trainers
ideally the cheapest and most effective package would have been k-8 and jf-17 combo..multirole, advance and very light and cheap to operate
1. Migs still in Service
2.F-7BGI is a STOP-GAP figther which will stay in service until we have the neccassary funds and infrastructure to induct around 32 4.5 generation fighters(which won't we ordered until 2016)
3)K-8 is an Intermediate trainer,YAK-130 is an advanced jet trainer.
4)When given a chance,would a air force be given a chance to purchase 4.5 russian bird which has years of combat experiance or an untested aircraft.(Nothing wrong with the FC-1/JF-17,it's a great plane)
