Wow , I have one great Idea . As you said war wont be conventional ! then Y not dismantle all Armed Forces and only Have Atom Bombs , That will safe us almost 7 Billion$$$$$$$.Observing the developments of past decade or so, it is clear we have realized in a war scenario involving our arch enemy India it would not be a conventional one for too long. And for the little time it will stay conventional our PAF packs a good enough punch. We have gone leaps and bounds in missile development (trust me no military declares all it possesses and what we have declared on this front is already impressive enough). This gives PAF the luxury to flirt around checking goodies to only settle for the best one (which they will put their hands on the moment they see) while they make satisfactory progress on JF17
So I have full confidence in PAF and those who are managing the military apparatus, that they know what they are doing
PAF need to hurry up, even BD is talking about 50 pops of J10b induction from China. they don't have cash in hands, they just ambitious enough. A strategic move by China to counter balance India influence in BD.
With all due respect, I usually disagree with more than half of The original posters "tirades", however this is a question I have asked as well over the last 15 years. I am dumbfounded how PAF in particular didn't capitalize more on such an apparent advantageous situation to obtain additional assets. However, obviously all of us civilians out here are not in the know to the true realities that exist.
Still as a layman observer, couldn't PAF have extracted a more sizable package from the US?
In the present day, just watch how Israel is going to skillfully extract surplus
F-15s and more F-35s from Uncle Sam due to the Iran deal.
To the insiders with obviously more insight, what gives?
Hi,
Even Collin Powel was literally shocked at the very weak demands of Pakistan---and the biggest shock was of no hard push on getting the F16's right away---.
As a matter of fact---the whole of the american administration was shocked---.
And our retd General Sahib is giving us a lecture over here---.
2 squadrons of J16 will be an deadly force. It's PAF's call, we will persuade Russia at any cost.If Pakistan ever decided to buy an other class of Aircraft. i wish it to be J-16.
2 squadrons of J16 will be an deadly force. It's PAF's call, we will persuade Russia at any cost.
PAF attitude towards selecting an aircraft is like an old popular actress, the decision making still goes like older days of prime time, signing only few top director movies so she could not become a regular actress. Too choosey.
Even 5 millions a peice copyright fee per J16 sale, China will pay for it. We can't ask Pakistan to burden the cost.Russia agreed to sell engines for JF-17. they will also agree if we offer them, say, $ 2 million/jet. Now-a-days they only need money.
and i don't think /piece will cost more then $ 70 million. so i guess if we are for adding a new platform, why not in large number's ? so 5 Squadron's, yah. After-all, we Lack Medium weight and Heavy weight fighter's.
Atleast, she maintain her class.
@MastanKhanHi,
The question I have been thinking for over the last 15 1/2 years since 9 / 11 and I could not find a reasonable answer to that is---" why did the Paf not buy a potent fighter aircraft right after agreeing to the alliance with the USA after sept 26---9 / 11.
The F16's were in a sorry state---almost ready to fall out of the skies---. Paf had woefully depleted assets due to sanctions---it did not even show up for a major battle happening at Kargil---and yet when the opportune moment arrived---there was no urgency shown to make the dash to get the aircraft.
Was the Paf worried that if they procured the right aircraft---the army would start a war with india---?
Was the Paf scared of engaging the indian air force if the army got into a war---?
Or was it coerced by another " party " to hold on tight and do nothing.
As the tale of coercion of Gen Kiyani with the U S govt is coming out---was there a similar action taking place between the Paf generals and the U S---was the U S forcing them to sit tight---or the Pakistan air force decided on its own not to build parity against the enemy air force assets---?
It is a baffling issue---an air force that was desperate yesterday and begging for the removal sanctions so desperately---so that they could get the right aircraft to protect the nation---did not avail the opportunity for 4 years and 6 months to sign the deal for the right aircraft---.
It is just like a heart patient desperately begging for heart surgery for 10 + years refusing to get it when it becomes available---.
If China can sell J10b to BD, means we can offer anything to Pakistan theoretically.
Even 5 millions a peice copyright fee per J16 sale, China will pay for it. We can't ask Pakistan to burden the cost.
