I think our Pakistani friends think the Arabs will give these away for cheap
Unfortunately they have not followed the story closely enough to understsnd the following key points.
1. The Arabs will demand big money for what is a very potent and well looked after fleet of fighters far more money than used f16s.
2. The cost of French weapons us twice that of USA and four times that of the chinease missiles.
3 that the sale is dependant on UAE agreeing a deal to but rafale or more USA teens including f18 hornets which will take four or five years to sign and deliver 60 fighters.
Pakistanis think they are sitting in a UAE hanger gathering dust waited to be picked up free next year.
So far from ground realty.
