Russia Competes With China for Arms Sales to Pakistan

.
View attachment 555074 According to a Russian news agency, Pakistan has shown interest in purchasing Russian military hardware. The deal is expected to amount $9 billion under which Islamabad would purchase heavy and medium fighter jets, medium and short-range air defense systems, tanks, combat helicopters, and warships.

Prospects of Pak-Russia Arms Deal
The agency has cited Konstantin Makienko, the deputy director of the Moscow-based defense think tank Center for Analysis of Strategies and Technologies. Makeinko revealed that two types of Russian military hardware can make Pakistan’s shopping list, i.e., the new Russian fighter jet MiG-35 and the heavy transport helicopter Mi-26T2.

However, the news has not been confirmed by Pakistan neither has there been any related story on the country’s media. Makienko observed that given the Chinese-dominated, low-competitive military market in Pakistan, Russia can get favorable terms on the purchase agreements.

He also said that Pakistan has not extended any request of technology transfer for localization of production as terms for the purchase contract.

From 2008 to 2018, Pakistan has received weapons worth over $6.4 billion from China. It makes China the South Asian country’s biggest military equipment supplier, while the US comes second with $2.5 billion in weapons supply, and Italy as the third with arms supply worth $471 million.

Notably, Russia and China have been competing to take over the weapon market worldwide. China has been granting certain favors along the arms deals to become a permanent supplier. For instance, in case of its deal with Thailand in 2017, China reportedly sold three submarines among and gave one of these as a ‘free gift’
Nothing serious Russia and Pakistan troll India time to time.

Fake News.
Unless Russia is giving all this for Free not gone happen on this scale maybe after a decade but dont see any russian jets flying soon in Pak

Pakistan could get much more favourable offers from china if they really wanted.

If we had any sense, we would make a multi billion dollar deal with China for the J-20/J-31 with possible TOT and for the HQ-9 defence system.

I didnt realise my comment will make someone angry. Or maybe your angry meter settings are set to very sensitive.

Or maybe you need to build up your mental abilities a bit where you can understand some one opposing your statement, without trying to find anger in them?

We buy many things and operate gadgets and weapons that are far beyond our purchasing power. So I find it kinda funny when simpletons who can't be bothered with some research and will come up with "I don't think we can buy this or that".

I think it is time to learn for you to how to make statements before getting pissed off.

So tell me Mr.Intellectual why are be not flying Chinooks, F-18, F-35 or using some other high end killing machine i will give you a reason because those things cost money. I will give you another example one of few reasons we are not sending cruise missiles in afghanistan to kill the cockroaches is the Cost.

Dont take me wrong this limited budget has made our Army good. Just look what out PAF has achieved limited budget and repaired the Awacs and made JF-17 and who knows whats under the blanket.

So just because i questioned that can we dole out 9B$? there was no need for you to be pissed. Look at difference between your reply and @war&peace reply. I think i made my point clear and dont have to give any more clarifications , wish you good life

Finally a step in the right direction, at least Russia will not abandon you in the middle of a conflict. Plus indigenization is the key. It should go on along with the acquisition of modern defence armament.
