A NEW AIRCRAFT FOR PAF

[Hamza913]

Is there any realistic chance of this happening anytime soon? I think Eurofighter is more of a wishful thinking at this point and I agree with the senior members that Su-35 is almost impossible to pull. Is there any chance Russia will approve China to provide J-11B/C or something?

We can get the Su-35, although I think the PAF would want something more familiar from the West or China.

Even for maintenance & servicing contracts most of the money is spent in manufacturing/acquisition of new parts & systems and in refurbishing or repair of old parts/systems.
There are other costs too such as tools, machines and equipment required for servicing and overhaul of aircraft.

In it's 2012 annual report Lockheed Martin mentioned that of all the F-16s(both USAF & others), it refurbished and serviced in the past three years, it's profit was only 2.38% of the revenue earned from this activity.

Possible Candidates ...........

Though Mirage 2000-9 is 2nd hand option, Rafale is too expensive.
Mig35 is most feasible but PAF is most interested in Su35 ..........

So lets see............

You missed the strongest candidate.

What grippen can offer over the JF-17 just Radar?

Tbh, not that much. However, the aircrafts could complement each other.

Exactly.

And I've took the price down a little,the Kuweitis paid like 320 million$/piece but I figured that Pakistanis,being more professional,won't pay for every bolt to be nailed by European contractors,so I estimated at 250.

No offence but with my stats back ground I can actually predict what the PAF will evolve to in nos and composition between today and 2025 AND I would feel I would be fairly close to reality.

its fairly clear what will happen both in PAF & IAF and even the arab air forces near us.

These negotiations start years before frutition

Even the block 52 that paf have been partly funded by USA aid in pretext of wot support by USA.

wrong info already clarified number of time

Fighter Jets are definitely SU-35

If Pakistan is going to buy something like the Eurofighter (HIGHLY unlikely), then it would be in very small quantities, like 16 at most.

Nice observation but bro from where you get the stats?

Pakistan doesn't have the political leverage to convince Russia to sell us Su-35. Russia won't do anything which can possibly irk India, like it or not.
