As all you gents must know that a Sukhoi has landed at KHI. It is safe to assume that the Russians are interested in baby steps towards some relationship. I know that this one is a civilian jet but it portends good tidings for Russian-Pakistan relations. You may not get all you desire but it is time to begin working on it.
BTW Algerians bought 40+ Su-30 MKAs which are identical to Su-30 MKIs. Once they realized that, they apparently grounded them. If you desire "parity" with Indians you may want to offer Putin to take those Flankers off his hands in some kind of an exchange in which Russia does not have to pay reparation$ to mon Algerie. ....Perhaps you can subsitute them with an undisclosed number of JF-17 Thunders. Win-win-win for all three nations? Huh?
Man you took words out of my mouth. If you read all of my posts this is what I am trying to explain that along with China there is nothing wrong improving relations with Russia.
