Didnt India purchase c-130 which Pakistan already has? If India wants,we acquire it. Neither does Pakistan have any influence over Sweden nor Pakistan has a share in it. If sweden itself is offering i dunno what the problem is with u.
 
why the hell no one offer us any good weapon

why we request to countries for weapons

we need to put our self in indian path.

It is all about money.Indian CoastGuard alone wants to buy 14 planes so it is a much more lucrative customer.
Regarding your signature.

I agree Pakistan will have an edge over India in quality of pilots but they cant match the means machines of IAF.A pilot is not going to do any harm if riding a bicycle.
 
Lol I doubt we'll even consider these. wit atleast 12 P8Is coming our way, the most advanced recon/ASW plane in the world we don't need SAAB 2000s.
As for the fact that pakistan operates them too, does Pakistan not operate the Il 78? does Pakistan not operate the Allouette? The Mi 17?

Indian C-130J-30 is quite different from Pakistani C-130.

But this is just an offer, there is minimum chance that India will go for it.
