The only aircraft that can give u complete air superiority over IAF/upgraded Su-30 MKIs is the raptor (F-22 ) itself. I do not think PAF could have gone for it
Hi,
No sir---but it is not the need of the hour---need of the hour was air superiority---.
You have to analyze at first why do you want to buy a weapon----who are you going to use it against and what will it do for you.
Pakistan is not going to fight its war in ether---it is not going to indulge it with himself---it is going to fight with india---. So, when the other arm of the millitary ( the army )has some kind of balanuce in equipment, the air force is completely out of whack.
They are 10 years behind where they were supposed to be----critically they are more like 18 years behind when the contract of M2k got cancelled in the 90's.
Black spiders at Farnborough. Its a good day for the PAF and the Thunder. Despite all of its shortcomings, its the best thing that has happened for the PAF (I say this being mindful of the blk-52 induction/MLUs etc.)

You overestimate the MKI, I don't see how the MKI can cross the border and survive - assuming of course that Pakistan's air defense assets are intact. Make no mistake the MKI is more vulnerable than most in hostile air space - we established this when the MKI's came to Nellis. IMHO Pakistani air space is adequately protected once all F-16's are upgraded and JF-17 acquires BVR capability.
blain2, I have uploaded some pics would you approve them, thanks.
