@MastanKhan what you are proposing is far stretched .. Nukes can't be answer to all our problems just like you always preach that JF cant be Answer for All PAF needs ..
yeah I agree with you that we should back-off from this F-16 saga for once, if and I hope the deal will end by next month , that means Pakistani Establishment will not be very happy with US and their Policies .. so what will be the result ?
its very Simple , Pakistan will look through other Options , Russia is there .. we can negotiate or we can bring China in to axis and push for Russian to lift the ban on Chinese J series .. a couple for Sqs of J-11D with AESA and other goodies will enable PAF for long and deep strike Operations , Plus we will have AESA and probably IRST ..
2 sqs means 36 units are worth taking the chance of adding another 4.5 Gen Aircraft .. J-11D is and will be far better than F-16 in almost every aspect from Hard points, range , Payload , EW suites etc ..
but my suggestion will be to first directly approach the Russian for Su-35 ..
if people remember the AH-Z1 saga a few year back , US deny to sell it to Pakistan, than comes T-129 , Z-10 and Russian Heli's and look what was the Outcome ? US quickly release the sale of 15 AH-Z1 to Pakistan with Hell fire missiles and other goodies .. sometimes you just have to play your cards .. which we least expect from PAF ..
instead of investing in Nukes , I would suggest more funds for JF , increase production rate , try to get Pods and other EW suites from Europe . and use diplomacy to get either su-35 or Chinese J-series .. ( j-11)
