Indians will cry, then shrug their soldiers and then move on. Doesn't really change the balance of power in the region.

For 8 F-16s? That would make them $187.5 a piece.

 

[syed_yusuf]

what are the specifics of the sale

does it includes more MLU kits or option for 10 more etc.?

~87 million usd per plane is bit too much.

You can get a Su-35 for that price.

These are Block 52s. MLU may come later, if they offer it. Separate deal.

Don't know if deal includes options, but PAF Air Chief indicated they wanted more than the eight offered.
