Don't you think we have already broached the subject with the Russians?? It is not about guts, it is about sheer economics and jobs for the Russians!!! Pakistan is a smaller market as compared to India.
Be my guest ask the French -- they wont even sell you subs, or avionics suits!!! Where did you come up with this?
J-10 -- let us see.
We were doing well with "Used maal" i.e the Mirage solution for three decades!!! When one does not have the money or the clout, used maal is what one has to do with!!
Hi,
I am not saying to go and get french hardware, at least when you had chance what you have done?!
and now just watch the show how india is playing with one after other options.
and with regards to your Used Maal - can you tell me until when you are going to use it? at the time of sanction?
Trump will be in Power soon - Then?
Dear think one step ahead what your ally's or enemies on.
If you will not take other options - i can bet we will suffer.
Very soon F16 will be on Card - US will offer again or maybe they will clear this sale of 8 fighter's. (Only 8 is not gonna change the power). forget about more 10 thats different story almost 20 more thread to come for that.
If really anyone's has link to PAF top authorities tell them to come on this foram and read something so they might have some knowledge and they will learn from those who actually love there soul and country.
we are here to share our frustrations. Wish to pass my msg to them. But. waiting to see when this F16 deals i going to end. Insha Allah.
How much would old EFT cost? Those are good for air deference but not ideal for multi role... Some countries are willing to sell these on the market.
The issue with F-16's are that PAF can only buy those which have a similar PW engine hence these are limited in numbers. PAF only operates Blk 15 and Blk 52 hence the Block 40 are not available till congress approves them.
Options in this regard are to procure some from Jordan...Pakistan is looking to procure Block 52's from Poland.
The up gradation kits would also require approvals hence they might not be given...How do you think PAF would procure them?
IMO
If Trump is elected and he follows up on what he intends to do then USA would be heading towards isolation similar to what we saw before the Great Wars. USA would not indulge in war unless attacked. This could benefit some but not all specially those that have serious trust deficit.
Considering todays speech of Obama it is very clear that USA does not want China to take control of Asia and this is the reason USA would try to empower strategic alliances with what ever their needs are even if they are at the expense of formal allies.
Two worst hit countries that can come out of this policy are Saudi Arabia and Pakistan.
It is high time Pakistan has to find a solution and not put all her eggs in one basket. Pakistan should try to find other countries in the world who are willing to help in this regards.
Very few people on this foram has this point to move on other options.
and as you said about two worst hit countries.
My friend, Count only Pakistan here. they are not going to do anything With Saudi Arabia.
Because they knows how to deal with Uncle sam.
