Will Pakistan Buy Russian S-400 Air Defense System ?

The HQ-9 will come with ToT..and is a very good air defence system.. it won the Turkish competition against the S-400..wasn't it for the same ToT restrictions (due to NATO) as the Russian, Turkey would have gone for it..
Algeria was also negotiating for the S-400 (most likely still negotiating), but they have apparently procured the HQ-9..
Pakistan for sure won't be subjected to the same TOT restrictions as others..
 
What is the logic of Russia not selling this defensive platform to Pakistan? IMO it will prevent further war with two arch rivals.

India lost the "exclusive customer" tag in the Kremlin ever since they started buying military hardware from Uncle Sam. Also, India is like a junkie when it comes to Russian maal and its spare parts for Indian inventory of Russian weapons. They are unlikely to stop buying from Russia just because it sold S-400 to Pakistan.

Imagine this: When India made their INS Arihant, Russia provided "how to" consultancy from bow to stern. Russia is the only nation leasing India its nuclear submarine; can you imagine the US doing the same with all the BECA, CISMOA & LEMOA signed? Hell no.

Russia has fleeced India various times on price & spares, despite that, India has to resume the (one way) military trade with Russians. No choice. India has got no top notch MILITEC. Without Russian assistance, no BrahMos, Arihant or INS Vikrant. Smaller Sweden is more technologically advanced country than India.
 
S-300 And S-400 would be fantastic addition to Pakisani Defence

Pak - Russia friendship

By so doing, Pakistan would have a tremendous advantage over Indian warfare psyche, cold start doctrine & actual battlefield advantage down the road.

The only thing hampering Pakistan is not having enough funds to acquire them.

The S-400 is a game changer, Pakistan should buy them one or the other way to not succumb to Modi's periodic threats of cold start shik.



China has them, India will have them, why not SCO member Pakistan?
After all, all these nations are members of SCO.
And they are defensive, not offensive.
Russia will agree for these billions.
Bangladesh also needs them.

Sales of S-400 needs special permission from Russian president and Putin will never allow any such sales to Pakistan.
