Pakistan, Russia ties in a big boom

[AZADPAKISTAN2009]

When pakistani english channels , want to throw a shosha , they talk about mega deal with Russia and then a deal comes for India

 

[AMRAAM]

36 SU-35s, 50 F-16V, 100+ JF-17s Block 3... Will attract more abhinandans in future..

Even a half sqn strength of Block 70s will keep them away for at least another couple of years unless they acquire some 5th generation fighters.

With a good number of 50 Vipers we won't need Su-35s.

Russia isn't ready to sell fighter jets to Pakistan.they are waiting and watching Geo political situation.rafale in India means someone has to sell equivalent performance hardware to Pakistan which I believe is america.america can even upgrade our vipers.

It would be good for future F-16 purchase if the news comes out regarding possible negotiations for SU-35 deal with Russia. We might be able to get 8 to 12 new F-16s.

 

[Thorough Pro]

It's time to be united and show solidarity and oneness of goals, I am afraid our stupid, corrupt and loser political parties will undercut the PTI government by offering lucrative deals to the Americans in exchange for their return to power. All the politicians gathering in UK and now hinting to go to US for "treatment" are up to something evil.

US too sending 15 delegations in total to Pakistan next year which is going to be a serious trade talks.
this development may push the F-16 deal to a conclusion earlier, lets see how it happens.
high time for Pakistan, wisdom is the key to the success.

I hope Pakistan won't bite on the 'additional F-16v' carrot U.S will be dangling for us, again and take the face value of whatever US-Pak relationship is and prudent enough to see how important is for Pakistan to have good relations with Russia.

No need for Russian jets they are incredibly expensive to maintain, the enemy uses them and we have no existing infrastructure for them.
Tanks the enemy operates them into the thousands, time to go for a heavier more powerful punch.
The deals should be around trade.

 

[xyxmt]

now what will happen to US trade delegate

 

[Pakhtoon yum]

Nothing happening in short term.

Aww, I know what you mean, brother. Life is too short to weight for such good news to occur. Each one of us want to be there when Pakistan rises above the rest.

I dont understand, what we get economicallt with this other then we buying from russia?

Steal mills or the revival of them. Among other possible exports from Pakistan. Ofcourse they would reveal everything, before it is signed.

[PakGuns]

when someone agrees to sell us something the sensitive nation get orgy lol

 

[Syed1.]

It is perhaps the skeptic in me, but I do not know why all of a sudden Russia is taking such interest in Pakistan and US also claiming to send 15 trade delegations next year.

We might be a pawn in a great game which we cannot see at the moment.

Russian Delegation Visits Pakistan to Confirm Investment in PSM, PIA & Gas Pipeline also offers SSJ-100 aircraft for #PIA.

Russia is keen to develop its stakes in Pakistan’s economy. For this, a 64-member delegation headed by Minister for Trade and Industries for the Russian Federation, Denis V Manturov, is visiting Pakistan for four days to attend an Inter-Governmental Commission.

According to the latest updates, Russia has shown willingness to help reconstruct Pakistan Steel Mills making it economically viable and play its role in Pakistan’s energy sector. Russia also wants to construct the railway track from Quetta to Taftan. It will offer Sukhoi SuperJet-100 passenger planes to Pakistan for PIA, confirmed senior officials at Economic Affairs Division, ministries of Industries & Production and Commerce. Russia and Pakistan will also figure out the much-delayed North-South gas pipeline project.

While mentioning the Russian offer of SSJ-100 aircraft for PIA, the official said that the said planes will be available on direct purchase and lease to purchase options and can be positioned immediately on wet lease to meet the immediate operational requirements of PIA.

The aircraft can be operated both, on domestic and international, routes to the Middle East, CIS, India, China, Colombo, Bangladesh, UAE etc. The aircraft can be supplied on both wet or dry lease with the option to purchase. He further said that the route analysis for PIA in 2012, and more importantly Sukhoi SuperJet SSJ-100 is a pet project of President Putin.

The official said that Russia, in the recent past, offered three options.

Under the first option, Russia wanted that its state-owned companies to under government-to-government arrangement that will revamp Pakistan Steel Mills and then it will hand it to Pakistan while under the second option, Russian state-owned companies will revamp PSM with their own management required for operation and maintenance under the government-to-government arrangement. Under the third option, the project will get divided into three parts to be revamped under which a power plant of 156MW will be rehabilitated separately and similarly Coke Oven Battery Plan (COPB), Cold Rolling Mills and Hot Strip Mills and Jetty will be revamped separately.

However, Pakistan wants to deal with Pakistan Steel Mills under public private partnership (PPP) mode.

He went on to say that during the IGC meeting, there are chances to create a joint venture in Pakistan for production and maintenance of rolling stock of spare parts that can be used for running the Pakistan Steel Mills.

During the 4 day visit, both the countries will also explore avenues for increasing the bilateral trade which currently stands at about $400 million. Pakistan’s exports stand at $150 million while the import from Russia is $250 million. Last year, the bilateral trade surged by up to $700 million as Pakistan purchased MI-35 helicopters from Russia.

Talking about much-delayed North-South pipeline, the official said that Russia has so far failed to provide sanction-free structure to Pakistan to initiate the $2.1 billion pipeline

Absolutely awesome.

The SuperJet has reliability issues. Has PIA improved its maintenance culture to protect against that? PIA pilots are great but they can only do so much if the plane has failures.
