The question remains why would BAF go for su-30 when su-35 is a generation leap with airframe having lower RCS apart from other much improved avionics and systems, remember you want 16 in number technologically advance su-35 are the right way forward post 2015-2020+, than again would hindustani lobby let you acquire a better su-30 variant atleast; with the clause that China would not let it upgrade on par with J-11 variants which are essentially highly upgrades of Flanker Series. The last ditch efforts of BAF should be to acquire additional 16 Mig-29 variants with AESA Radars including upgrades refurbishment of the current inventory in BAF.
We still dont knw which one the going to choose. If they are in a hurry then they will most likely go for Mig-29 I think. We need some aircraft urgent for sure.
