that's why we already ordered 6 Su-30SME from Russia and the delivery will be started at the end of next year. bro
according to some sources, Myanmar AF is considering to decommission their F7 fleets ( total 64 ) in very soon and will be replaced with JF-17 gradually.So there is a huge potential to buy more (may be 16 more ) if Myanmar AF is satisfied with the performance of JF. that's why they even have a talk to assemble them in Myanmar. bro
Su30sme will be massive for Myanmar but only for air superiority role. Other then that JF17 have a lot of merits over Su30SME in case of Myanmar. Its single engine LOT LOT less fuel consumption, Dirt cheap to maintain compared to Su30. Familiar RD93 Engines as you already have Mig29s having similar RD33 Engines so maintenance infrastructure no issue will come at half the cost of Su30. Similar Range to Su30, much small radar cross section, And almost all capabilities that su30 have to offer operationally, Plus if i am not wrong Russian Flankers are notorious for maintenance issues, even the massive and experienced Indian Air force have been complaining for maintenance issue for their much modern variant of Flanker Su30 MKI. and also no strings attached, you can order custom variant for your needs.
Other then the KLJ Series of AESA Radar for Pakistan that are currently not available for export variants, their is the other air Cooled AESA Radar in development by AVIC that will be available to you in a short while. hope it satisfies your defense needs.
It might not be a Flanker or F15(And it does not need to be) but its definitely comparable to modern Mig29s F16s and Gripen.
