Sri Lanka expanding its Military in peacetime

[Lankan Ranger]

what you will buy sukhois What is PAF doing i mean countries with little defence budgets like Sri lanka and Bangladesh are buying such things what are we doing.

Sri Lanka Air force may get 36 Su-30 MK2 Jets between 2014 & 2015 (Long Term Plan).

I Think Russia won’t sell Su-30 MK2 to Pakistan because India will oppose.

Becoz these nations by less number of aircraft, mostly 10-20 or so. And they buy probably the downgraded versions, not the hi tech ones as India or others buys, thus less money per aircraft. And Russian aircraft are not that expensive compared to western.

2ndly we would have bought from Russia had they provided, which is impossible now and in foreseeable future too.

Plus any other factors make Russian offer less attractive also.

Mr Tamimi thanks for your informative post and detailed explanation its always helpfull to understand the subject bit easly .... But I think you miss understood him (Pak-yes) completely. You took the term " Sukhois" litterally. Where as he's trying to say if the country like Sri Lanka planing to acquire 36 Su-30 MK2 , then why can't PAF ( Pakistan go for Hi- Tech Aircraft like Rafale, Euro Fighter, Gripeen etc etc...

Thank you Sir, but just as what i said about Russian aircraft, same case or other factors restrict us from purchasing the ones you just mentioned. That is the reason we are going for other solutions.
