The message is clear for everyone.
THE SU30MKI will celebrate a FULL DECADE of service next year.. in 2013.
The programme has been a MASSIVE SUCCESS with 157 jets in service as we speak and growing year in year out.
AS YOU CAN SEE they have already started the MLU pgramme to reduce RCS add AESA radars and new EW SUITES and new ramjet missles. THIS WILL COST OVER $2 BILLION over the next 5 years on all 270 jets.
TO DATE PAF is stil looking at suitable answers to the original SU30MKI FROM 2003 AND THE INDIANS ARE ENTERING into the SUPER SU30MKI ...
i ask again is the JF17 & small fleet of F16s enough ????????/
not enough, the truth is!
but why you keep assuming, that PAF will remain in this state?
problem has been solved , if PAF really needs it can go for J-16s next sunday, but there is no immediete threat of a extensive airwar with IAF, PAF is doing its research on different plateforms, which couldbe inducted at right time, to counter SU-30mki or rafeals.
