I don't ruled out acquiring refurbed AC ship possibility in future.
I can understand current volume of PAK Navy is much smaller but looking at progress being made for Navy is quite rapid.
Just wait and see !
I don't think, it would be good idea to buy too old stuff.
Concentrate on new Tech.
Only consider options for old stuff such as F-16 from EU countries or Jordon as we already have experience and maintenance expertise's.
Main purpose stated by our experts was the NASR was designed to destroy invading columns of enemy with in their area or closed to border with miniature nuclear devices.
But now it was stated NASR is capable of destroying coming Ballistic missiles and effective against enemy's Air defence...
Ababeel Missile look like longer range compared to mentioned range of 2700 km.
To me, it is probably around 4000k with of course MIRV tech carrying at least 3-5 ward heads.
Yes, That's important point.
Project was backed signed back in 2017. It is assumed that it might be constructed earlier and will be a surprise for us when delivered to us.
I have feeling Jordan F 16 will soon arrive as in current USA and PAK relation, possibilities are there.
we might get back 8 New F-16 too.
lets wait and see.
