Now Indian pages and forums have also started to post this news and reaction of Indians on this news which they are expressing is priceless :omghaha::omghaha:

It doesn't cost $ 100 million a plane. You need to learn the real price tag before opening up your mouth silly.

40 SU-35's would cost Pakistan $ 60-75 million a piece with ALL infrastructure setup and all. Over 3-4 years, (time it would take to deliver these), its like $ 800-850 million a year. Pakistan's economy is moving in the right direction and fast. They have over $ 18 billion in their savings account, which by 2018 is expected to cross over $ 20 billion, even with a defense spending increase of about 10-15%. I am SURE they can afford these.

By the end of 2018 or in 2019, Pakistan's defense budget is estimated to be close or equal to that of Turkey ($ 16-18 billion). So spending $ 2 billion on new jets, isn't a big deal. They are also buying FC-31 from China too and some more used -16's and JFT Block III :enjoy:

The Pakistan you knew till 2012, isn't the Pakistan you are dealing with today. Today's Pakistan is going to be one of the top 10-15th largest economies over the next decade or so. Pakistan today is where India was back in 1998. Getting into a HUGE tech and economy boom. If the military hadn't poke their nose into matter in 1998, Pakistan could be there in 2005, compared to today. So she lost a full decade plus, but its never too late.
Lol pakistan will have 18 dollar defence budget in 2018:rofl::rofl: you are really high dude seriously.
And pakistan is growing 4.4 percent per year but some other articles suggest that they are lower than that.
So do some maths.

No wonder , water-car was a Huge Success !

Darling , Su 35s cost $100+ Mil Per Plane. Now do the Math.
Do not think the cost is $100 mil... If that was the case then PAF would have gone straight to Britain and bought the EFT or F-18 growlers as they are estimated to have a fly away cost of $75-80 mil per plane.

The Cost of Su-35 would be some where from $50-60 mil per plane. hence PAF is going for them.
Do not worry about Pakistan's economy we are going to eat grass but still have a strong military.

Though sound not so possible. But I hope that Chinese SU-27s with Russian multi role upgrade in terms of avionics will be there for PN. How many SU-27s did China acquired directly not asking about J-11.

We need a solid Air-Air jet , Sukhoi-35 would be Dimond in Pakistan Airforce

Just imagine what Pakistan Pilots can do with this plane in Air

We don't have money to buy such a planee

This is big misconception , If PAF wants they can buy, but its totally new product. Because its like Ford sell cheap cars, but parts are expensive. So, the real cost is hidden in servicing and parts.

Pakistan Airforce , I can visualize already ... Air to Air specialist Units 36 Jets protecting Air Space


su-35-4-e1425569059311.jpg



36 Brand new Sukhoi-35 in Pakistani Airforce , Front Line Protectors , I like the sound of that


A jet that will move our Airforce into 2000's era with its Technology and abilities

The extra fire power in Air will certainly add much needed upgrade in Air capabilities

WHY WOULD PAKISTAN AIRFORCE NOT WANT SUKHOI-35 as top priority :P

Because we dont have the money. It is a case of either wait and bide your time for J31 to come out or waste your money now on platforms which will be expensive to take care of and run. PAF is not anticipating any war as its adversary is in turmoil as well with their acquisitions. So let them sort their mess out and wait and enjoy . Once thwy have shown their cards we can play our hand. Three years is a long time and you never know what maybe round the corner. So be patient and wait.

Russia is quite interested in joining CPEC and we have friends at ME. We can use that as advantage but what I have heard is that PAF is looking for third 4.5 Generation platform. In short PAF will have at least three kinds of 4.5th Generation Fighter Jets and only after that we would focus on 5th Generation

I doubt this news...
Why Pakistan will go for Su-35 4.5 gen. when they are intrested in J-31 5 gen. ...
But I would really love that bird to be the part of our PAF and PN :)

Any 5th Gen jet is at least 10 years away from being getting IOC in PAF and in current evolving situation in which CPEC have created new burden of security mostly on PAF & PN because India have potent Air and Sea options available to harm it therefore PAF & PN need equipment which can complement each other and Su-35 bring many capabilities for both.

For example in one scenario if PN's P-3s are on long range long endurance mission and flying around Gulf of Aden where IN's CBG is deployed to block ships coming to Pakistan who will protect them from Mig-29Ks?? JF-17s are not sufficient for this type of mission even if you use refuelers and CFTs because JF-17 will not be able to carry required payload and it will be very expensive to operate like that.

Therefore a jet like Su-35/J-11B is a must have for PAF not just to support PN & PA but to fulfill their task more effectively. Its not about cost its about what it brings to you.

With India spending heavily in Russian equipment ,with upcoming JVs and the fact that India possesses su-30s in large numbers and a strong prospect of future upgrades no sane or pragmatic person can think of su-35 in paf ..its similar to what did happen when Russian media spread the news of China buying su-35 , just another rumor by Russian media destined to end in a fizzle I believe ... until there is some concrete information or official confirmation its just a waste of bandwidth

Utmost paf can do is to buy j-11 series in case dire need arises but even that too seems like a far fetched thing ...
