Jf 17 block 3 only lags behind in the payload, range capacity, hence the mention of su 30 for deep penetration.Saudi are planning for 302 F-15s and 72 Eurofighters. 374 4.5th gen fighters. Now, you yourself said the JF-17 would have to be bought "ample number". What is an ample number of JF-17s compared to 374 state of the art, supa dupa expensive 4.5th gen fighters? 500 JF-17? 750? 1000?
Sometimes, it is cheaper and easier on logistics to go for quality over quantity, especially given the high technological demands of aerial combat. I'm thinking stealth which is ambitious I know, but it seems the only option to me.
Related, but not necessarily the main topic.
Stealth???, be realisitc man, even if u do manage to accomplish it , that will take atleast a decade to pay off.
Again realistically speaking, what other options do u have besides su 30's, su 35's and jf 17??
A diverse airforce is a good airforce.
