Talks for Su-35, Mi-35 sales to Pakistan are underway: Russian Deputy FM

[elitepilot09]

NIZHYNY TAGIL: Pakistan and Russia are in talks about the delivery of Sukhoi Su-35 fighter jets and previously agreed upon delivery of Mi-35M helicopters, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister (FM) Sergei Ryabkov said, Sputnik reported.

Earlier this year, a draft contract for the delivery of four Mi-35M 'Hind E' combat helicopters was sent to Pakistan from Russia, a source in the Russian military and technical cooperation was quoted by the Russian news agency TASS.

Increasing military cooperation between Islamabad and Moscow would not negatively impact Russia's ties with India, Ryabkov said, adding that Pak-Russia ties were improving in other sectors as well ─ including energy.

The Russian Deputy FM Ryabkov referred to Pakistan as Russia's closest partner and said, "I do not think that the contacts under discussion will cause jealousy on the part of any of the two sides."

Pakistan and Russia had signed a bilateral defence cooperation agreement aimed at strengthening military-to-military relations in November last year. The deal had to be followed by another ‘technical cooperation agreement’ to pave the way for sale of defence equipment to Pakistan.

EDIT AFTER INDIANS TROLLING THIS THREAD:

 

[PurpleButcher]

Su 35 something is definitely cooking

 

[WishLivePak]

I think the su is dual engine. Didn't turkey offered us some dual engine for students?


Why are we going for dual engine and Russian crafts? Focus on getting f16s, make jf better and start working on a 5th/6th gen fighter (they take 10-15 years) or spend money on drone which come out cheaper.

Seems Russia is trolling India on SU-35.
Where is Rafale deal ? still unfinished ?

 

[Beethoven]

I still believe going for SU-35 is not a sane idea....better utilize those funds for procuring additional -16's

 

[Maarkhoor]

6th gen

 

[WishLivePak]

US is already working on 6th gen. I heard major component is it not needing a pilot always. Could be wrong.

Like I said, it takes 10-15 years. Technology is moving fast and a lot can be achieved in future. Of course we will seek help of China too, which will help expedite.

 

[Paksanity]

Well, well, well! It's more than rumours now. Deputy foreign minister of Russia being quoted by TASS means SU-35 is definitely on cards. Interesting times ahead I see.

 

[SipahSalar]

These are BS rumors. If we wanted to go for SU-35, we always have the option of J-11, and we can get it for cheaper costs. I don't see the sense in going for SU-35. Even if we ignore the costs, the logistical requirements will be too much.

 

[Max]

Just to tease India.. nothing serious..

 

[Myth_buster_1]

Su-35 is perfect stop gap until PAF gets hands of 5th gen. F-16 can not handle all Mig-29k M2k (upgraded) MKI and now Rafael on its own and JF-17 is not in that league.

Just because you dont see canards in Su-35 does not mean it is in same league as J-11.

Pakistan needs new pair of AIR -PUNCH , our decades old & over used & over projected F-16 needs a father shadow in the skies ?
Su35 are way better then all of its family , & has the capability to be a 5th generation fighter ?
Then again its another waste full minds debating about single engine vs double engine ?
As a PRO-AIRFORCE we need all of art ?
Double or single we need a beast in the air , which can show up in a dog fight & give a blowing last punch to our enemies ?
Let's say 50+ SU 35 PAF will take out the breath of anyone at longest of the targets ?
