JF17 makes perfect sense for pakistan as the cost per plane for them are less than 15 million. Cost and numbers are the reason for Pakistan are going for thunder.I agree BAF has options. Mig-29, Mig-35, Su-30, FC-1, J-10.
But what I mean to say is that what capability is BAF seeking.
I think the JF-17/FC-1 is a great solution to the cheap multirole 4th gen fighter requirement.
PAF is in a position of survival and I think it says something that ostensibly PAF has high confidence in the JF-17.
How much capability does BAF really need? I think FC-1 is enough.
But for a foreign buyer like us will be asked to pay 25-30 million per plane including profit. We can buy better planes from better supplier foe 35-45 million.
