For Paf: How To Invest The $270 Million Saved From The F16 Purchase

[SBD-3]

Turkey is already planning to get upto 120 F-35. F-35 lacks the agility of F-22 as a true front-line fighter. They are looking to produce something equivalent of F-22.

Turkey is buying JSF off the shelf, producing something like F-22 is way beyond their league and capabilities. Heck even Russians have gone hush-hush after ending up with a stealthish Sukhoi offshoot (PAK-FA).

Hi,

I remember them saying that there might be production of the JF17's in china as well to fill the gap that the paf has---and that production has not materialized.

There are several things between China and Pakistan which are never disclosed or only disclose when necessary.

Don't get all too confident there, Chinese don't disclose a lot of things to keep our "bharam" in tact.

Chinese emergency military equipment availability is not bharam its reality since 60s, but only people who know how things work in Pakistan military can understand that.

Did Pakistan disclosed about HQ-2s in 80s? Have you forgot why F-6 were offered and were rapidly available in 60s? People only know about in service equipment when military is willing to acknowledge it officially or unofficially other then that Pakistan military don't like to show what they have, its there surprise tactic since long.

Nothing is out of no ones league. It's takes money and determination. Considering their progress in last 2 decades, Turks have been showing both. Even Pakistan can do it, if money wan't the issue.

Option 1:
Deposit and Intent for joint J-31 program , Stealth plane : Deposit 270 Million Dollars


Option 2:
Put money in bank for 1-2 years till it becomes 1 Billion

pls do tell us the name of the bank which have such high return rates

If it flies by 2023----it will go into production after another 3-5 years. First they will meet their own needs then others.

How about we do not give the air force the money and give it to our R n D people to make super sonic cruise missiles and submarine launched ballistic missiles or just buy them off someone I have no issues with either... just to state it plainly, whatever you give the PAF they will screw it up somehow or squander it...
They squandered the F 16s, they squandered sales of the Jf 17 and I think you can enlighten me with many more examples... We can do without a very strong air force because well, just dealing with the S400 will need a barrage of cruise missiles which are precise and very quick along with the whole shabang to take out that system... I do not agree with the premise that we need to continue throwing money into a flaming cauldron which just turns everything to crap.
Maybe order some J 31 and tell the air force to make do with the JF 17 till then... We can always get something from China if things go real bad...

Fully operational. If you are allowed to visit the factory of WS10 engine, you will doubt why China can do and India can't. The development and reliability is beyond your imagination. Over 200 Chinese fighter jet fly with it. China will definitely help Pakistan overtly and covertly. We are just bunch of Amateur go forth and back guess something we don't know, PAF know it's all.

There are secrets between China and Pakistan, Indians won't able to know. Both China and Pakistan like to keep it low down.

What my suggestion was put it in bank where you get interest saving & then you also contribute extra per fiscal year from your yearly budget

 

[Devil's Advokat]

I would put $300 into special "Green Education Fund" and then seek foreign donors to match that dollar by dolar which would not be too difficult to do. Then with $600 million in the fund sponsor grassroots mass literacy campaign with about $500. The other $100 million into higher education to poor students and sponsor only science degrees like maths, chemistry, physics etc.

The true strength of a country is the human resources it has. Not airplanes.

 

[HAIDER]

F16 deal will be done. Pakistan will get F16. But, Pakistani people and govt need to change its begging habit. Roughly over 200 billion dollars of Pakistan money sitting swiss and foreign banks. Imagine the wealth of Nawaz, his one account hold over 32 million pounds, yesterday a govt official in Baluchistan caught hiding 63 crore cash in his house .....imagine the corruption. Pak govt official steal 100 percent govt development funds......

Agree

@MastanKhan has written very a nice article but in case of PAF, we know answer is always ayf sola

 

[Skywalker]

For me PAF should invest this money into offshore businesses like buying properties in london and uk, and hie hussein nawaz as consultant as hes the only genius in this world who can tripple or even quadrapul the money. Then PAF after paying commision will still have enough money to buy meagre 8 effing sola.
