1.PAF has not orderred and never will but even if they want niether they can afford it nor russia will give
2. as for chinese flankers well they cant sell it to anyone no matter how close they are
but you can agree or reject it but dont forget to thank me when it happens what i has said
I will repeat your own words from earlier post that its better your enemy underestimates you. However, we don't need to convince Indians about our capabilities.
