Abdul
My 99% certainty is gained on what I know and see from both Russia & Pakistan and the changing geopolitical map.
THE BIG DIFFERENCE my insight is not clouded by paitriotic Pakistan eyes head and heart . I SEE REALITY
Which is the following.
Pakistan has only brought fighters with soft loans from china (jf17) OR grant AID from USA (F16/52)
IN LAST TEN YEARS.
Pakistan has brought fighters in cash but second hand fighters ready for mothballing be it jordans old F16s or Libyan mirage 5s
One SU35 will cost 4 times the cost of one Thunder
or 50% more than brand new F16/52
Russia WILL NOT GIVE YOU GRANT AID OR SOFT LOANS they are broke themselves...
Finally india will almost certainly put Russia enormous political pressure not to sell advanced version of their own mainstay fighter the SU30MKI
PS today the indian GDP and military budget is larger than RUSSIA. indian influence is huge over Russia something only an indian will understand . FGFA and other projects depend on indian money ...
LIKE I SAID ABDUL we will see whose was right AND who was WRONG soon.
Did you bother to read what I said, or was it just ... "Aha somebody responded so lemme give him a piece of my mind" ..
I would be among the skeptics of the SU-35 deal from our side along side many, that in of itself nullifies the "Patriotic Pakistani eyes" that you claim .... ofcourse your the only objective poster out here ... duhhh
What is most interesting is your reasoning ... see the skepticism from our side either stems from the usage of the current doctrine ... the maintenance issues, and the performance issues when it comes to operating jets from 3 different origins in an age which is focused on net centric warfare .. Those are the pieces that will have to be negotiated one way or another if the deal is to go through ...
Your "objective eyes" -- on the other hand -- only see "Indian economy" and "Indian influence" as the hindrance to that deal ... totally objective and unbiased opinion right ???
That is what I and many others from this forum contest ... you have to face it ... the world does not revolve around Indian economy ... Just look up last 7-8 years ... you put up pressure to cancel the supply of RD-93 to Pakistan ... yet its operational on 3 of our squadrons and is expected to be on all of our JFT's ... The JFT avionics deal being cancelled ... where you were going for a 10+ Billion dollar deal ... and exerted pressure on the french to cancel it ... good for you ... they did cancel it ... but what now ?? --- Now your biggest deals i.e Pak-FA and Rafale are effectively cut by a factor of THREE! ... add to the misery there are rumors of the avionics deal to be revived ...
Do you really think that it will go totally smooth & well when you lobby for suppliers to cancel such and such deal showing that your large deals will make up for what they loose and then cutting your own deals by a third of their planned size ... way to go ... that is exactly the reason why you have the the russians talking about the SU-35 to PAF ..
Just look at the sheer surprise and butt hurt the Indians showed at the mere news of initial talks ... this shows the level of ignorance that the Indian side lives in where every thing happens according to what they will ... keep living the dream ... the more long you stay in that dream world ... the better it is for us ...
and lastly, regarding the financial aid -- you do know that providing safer, smaller cost effective routes for supplies to a country is a business transaction and not "aid" -- do look up Fareed Zakaria's interview with Mushy regarding the subject ... and as far as the economic conditions go ... Pakistan is recovering ... As much as you'd hate to admit it ... but Pakistan has been a war torn country with among the worst environments for business, just a little stability is what started the recovery process ... and lets not forget the turn around of our economy from the verge of being broke in Mushy's era .... So don't worry about us ... It's you who you should be more concerned given the fault lines that are present in your country ...
