Russia experts suggest to sell MiG-35 to Pakistan

"it can roast a chicken 70 miles away; it can dip its wing in a well and do a turn that will shame the Rafale; it can fire a missile backwards; and, most important, it will render INS Vikrant into a floating dock for farewell parties"

Exactly, the only reason PAF should get the Su35 if it ever does is not for the eastern front against the IAF, but the southern front against the IN.
 
Newton's Third Law: Every Action has a equal and opposite and reaction.

Procurements are based on threat perception and minimum deterrence. Procure Su- 35 if it is offered and you would see proportionate counter measures.

After all anything you can buy, we can atleast match it. No sanctions or supply constraints anymore like in old days. It is a buyer's market.

Good. So let us get what we need, you can re-ignite this Rafale deal and we'll also induct plenty of JF-17 Thunders as well, the future backbone of the PAF

Buyers market, suppliers market indeed
 
Moscow: Pakistan and Russia are in talks about the delivery of Sukhoi Su-35 fighter jets and previously agreed upon delivery of Mi-35M helicopters, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister (FM) Sergei Ryabkov said, Sputnik reported.

Earlier this year, a draft contract for the delivery of four Mi-35M 'Hind E' combat helicopters was sent to Pakistan from Russia, a source in the Russian military and technical cooperation was quoted by the Russian news agency TASS. Increasing military cooperation between Islamabad and Moscow would not negatively impact Russia's ties with India, Ryabkov said, adding that Pak-Russia ties were improving in other sectors as well, including energy.

The Russian Deputy FM Ryabkov referred to Pakistan as Russia's closest partner and said, "I do not think that the contacts under discussion will cause jealousy on the part of any of the two sides."

The twin-engine Sukhoi-35 is a fourth generation multi-role combat jet which also incorporates technology of the fifth generation jets, according to details available on the Sukhoi company's website. It is also said to be more agile as compared to previous models.

Pakistan and Russia had signed a bilateral defence cooperation agreement aimed at strengthening military-to-military relations in November last year. The deal had to be followed by another ‘technical cooperation agreement’ to pave the way for sale of defence equipment to Pakistan.

Just last year, Russia’s Rostec hi-tech corporation CEO Sergey Chemezov announced that Russia had lifted its embargo on the delivery of armaments and military hardware to Pakistan and was holding negotiations on the delivery of helicopters to the country.
