suitability F-15 C & E for PAF ?

[Defender.pk]

F-15 is one of best battle proven air craft .

better than JF-17 in all aspects .


Mach 2.5+ speed vs JF-17 mach 1.8
engine dry thurst 77.62 kN vs 49kn of JF-17
with after burner 111.2 kn vs 84 kn in JF-17


Service ceiling: 65,000 ft vs (54,790 ft) of JF-17
combat radius of F-15C 1967 km vs 1350 kmof JF-17

ground attack version F-15c can carry up to 16000lbs of bombs vs 8000lbs in JF-17

F-15C can caryy upto 8 air to air missile . AIM 7 and aim 120 BVR with aim -9
+Raytheon AN/APG-63 or AN/APG-70 radar


AIM 120 cannot be integrated with JF-17 . SD-10 performence is not known till date.

I suggest that PAF should have 150+ F-15C and F-15E .

and not rely only on JF-17 thunder

i think u also should compare the cost of these two fighter aircrafts . and should also consider that if usa is interested in selling it to u or not? their are number of options but the problem is our budget constrains. and other international policies
