Without meteor rafale is same like JF-17

Rafale + Meteor vs Typhoon + Meteor<Pakistan can buy 1 squadron easily> ... shouldn’t take more than 4 billion USD

This statement carries the assumption that JF-17 can match the Rafale in avionics, radar and EW capabilities.

Pakistan has options. JF-17 BLK 3 will be one option, the other would be upgraded F-16's (although risky, but available on the short term) and whatever project Azm evolves into. I don't think the Typhoon is an option for us, too many political strings.

JFT Blk3 while taking into account Geography would match Rafale.
It has been designed with such threats in mind.

only practical option is Typhoon which is said to be even more capable in A2A than Rafale...
Rest any current chinese fighter beside J-20 wont do...
And PAF already must be exposed to Saudi Typhoons ... if Pakistan can allocate around 4 Billion USD for this purchase of around 20... it should be more than sufficient for taking care of Rafale in IAF...

When we put range in equation Rafale out guns JFT Blk3 but when it comes to sensor suit it would be an equal match for Rafale.

One JF 17 will never match rafale. But we can get three jf in price of one rafale.

might be both Qatari and Saudi... I don’t understand why Pakistan cant approach UK for Typhoon sales... 3-4 Billion USD can be arranged from Pak military budget...

Getting them in small number makes no sense on top of that new type means a whole lot of log issues.

Oh really?
Whats our Rafale's anwer? JF 17 Blk 3?? Are we seriously comparing a medium weight fighter with our light weight fighter?
What about India inducting more Mig29UPGs+SU 30 MKIs+Tejas?
We are just inducting JF 17s thats too in limited numbers
Ok What about SU 30MKI and Brahmos Super sonic ALCM with range b/w 450-600km?
We dont have a Supersonic ALCM

One JF 17 will never match rafale. But we can get three jf in price of one rafale.

What about Mig29UPGs+SU 30 MKIs+Tejas which are being inducted?
