Whatsoever the matter is ,it is not easy to shot down f16 in air to air combat,I am impressed by mirage 2000 because it has demonstrated this capability in actual combat
What, you're not impressed by the capabilities of the F-16 & destruction they caused to the IAF earlier in Feb.?
We're already getting (used) Mirages from Egypt. Now, they too can fulfill the task a Mirage 2000 could.
Find a solution for Air-to-Air combat. And someone pointed out earlier...where do you intend on getting spares from.
The Mirage wasn't built on the F-16 tech of Block-building.
if russia agree to manufacture jets in Pakistan we should go for su35,su34 or mig35
Okay, aur Russia ke saas (India) ko kon mannay-ga?
For all the Members who dream of having Russian equipment need to understand that Russian Jets will be last option..., if possible.
Imagine we strike a deal with Russia. India stays quite. Occasionally opposes the deal between PAK-RUS. We make some sort of payment. A couple of years later when time has passed, India decides to (finally) jump in & everything goes to hell.
When push comes to shove, where do you think Russia's loyalty will be to? Does anyone here think that Pakistan will pick a fight with Russia? No. I didn't think so.
Conclusion: Fast Forward 2-3 Years from now (2021/2022)... Money/Time - GONE. And now here we are on PDF debating what are other options are and/or could have been back in 2019.
So India has gone ahead and got all of their 36 Rafales. Around 19 MiG-29's & added a few Su-30MKi from HAL.
What did PAF do? Oh we added a few JF-17 Block III and eh...well...ummm...jack sh!t.
Think smart. We almost have zero diplomatic ties with Russia. And please don't give me the JF-17 engines are Russian.
