All russian jets are twin-engine. It's in their doctrine for maneuverability and harsh cold climate of Russia demands twin-engine planes. Even Canada might scrap/delay F-35 procurement and instead go for twin-engine F/A-18 since their war-mongering former conservative PM is out and it has same cold climate as Russia.Apologies you are correct the latest migs are twin engines are I am really expecting them. However it would not surprise me although not sure how feasible it is if we bought second hand single engine versions like what we already have .
I do not think BAF will buy sukois and introduce new maintenance infrastructure. We know the migs, have developed technical expertise and will buy more of them.
It's a waiting game.... BD will buy loads of jets it is just a question of can the Chinese provide them in time.
In my opinion there is no possibility what so ever of western jets.
