yes...at this point in time...China needs a serious market in Pakistan.
Pakistan has serious clout in mid-east..
Pakistan has a relative voracious defense appetite....
Pakistan is on the forefront of the WoT where the world's attention is at right now...
while Pakistan needs the advancing Chinese techs and equipments...as well as investments...no other country at this point is doing as much...
the Americans always attach messy strings to all their deals..the ruskies have us stopping them from sharing tech...
the EU's will is tied to the American one...
it's perfect symbiosis...
somebody compared our relationship with russia as being dissimilar to that of Pak-china...
that is true...
from the 60s till the 90s...we had a similar relationship...
but relationships mature and change...we developed our own economy and industries...so we have eased some of our own dependence off the russians...
i am pretty sure this would happen gradually between Pak and China too...it's evolutionary.

Even before I opened this thread I knew it would ignore Su-30MKI and definitely have JF-17 in it. Deadly instincts I guess !
F-35 and Mig-35 are still under development and Nighthawk is a bomber.
Su-30MKI is definitely better than Mig-35 which according to this thread is better than EF Typhoon ! Wow ?

Threads like these always end up in a diaster. I guess every body would have been fine if only JF-17 wouldnt have made it to the list. Never the less it wasnt a Pakistani but an Indian who added it to her list for what ever reason that maybe.
IMO the list should be practical and by practical i mean factors like cost, availability should also be considered as a factor specially when people have ranked F-22 as number 1.

It turns out that the F-18 aircraft for sale on eBay
was obtained at a scrap auction, because the government officials failed
to cut up the parts and render the aircraft unflyable. An aircraft
collector (Ken Bryant of Air Capitol Warbirds Inc., in Wichita, Kansas)
bid 25 cents a pound, and scared away the usual gang of scrap dealers that
were expecting to pick up the aircraft for a less than a nickel a pound.
The aircraft went through several owners before the current one (via
broker Landa and Associates of Arlington, Washington). put it up for
auction on eBay. The current owner says the aircraft can be restored to
flying condition for $9 million. A meeting with government officials
(including representatives from the State Department, the Department of
Defense and the FBI) left the owner in legal possession of his aircraft.
But he had to promise not to sell it to anyone but Americans, and to keep
the F-18 in the United States. The FBI advised that the aircraft not be
sold at all. The eBay auction ended without a sale, mainly because no one
could come up with the cash (at least one check bounced.) The owner is now
trying to sell it directly (via the broker). Given the publicity he has
gotten, that would be possible. There is still a risk that the government
might decide to sue to get the aircraft back. Anyone who does get it
flying again will have to spend at least 40,000 a month on maintenance.
And that's only if the aircraft is only flown 2-3 hours a month.

This news is way back from 2004
The price for the jet, which formerly belonged to the Navy's Blue Angels aerial demonstration team, is just over $1 million on the auction firm eBay, or about $9 million for a buyer who wants it assembled, painted and certified ready-to-fly.
Only legal U.S. residents can bid. The auction is scheduled to end Thursday.
An F/A-18 in 1997 cost the military US$28 million, according to the Blue Angels' official Web site.
Mike Landa, of Landa and Associates, the Washington state brokerage that has listed the fighter on the Internet auction service, told The Virginian-Pilot that the jet is in parts and came out of military service in 1994. Landa wouldn't identify the owner, but said he came by it legally.
"This thing obviously slipped through the system somehow," Landa said
The FBI came out to visit Landa after he put the jet up for bidding. They wanted to know "what are you selling here," he said. "They wanted to have the scoop on it."
Landa said he has no doubt that someone will surface to claim the Hornet. The jet's model can fly about 1,400 mph and climb 30,000 feet in a minute.
