PAF has requested for an increase of 1.5 billion dollar in the budget.

Chinese Flankers

 

[Ultima Thule]

SU-35 secret deal !

1.5 billion dollars will not buy you any new combat planes that will add new technology.

Simply not enough money

This money will be for helicopters or armaments for your thunders etc.

Or at best token purchasec of 10/12 new block 52 which again you have already

European fighters are simply put of reach

The j31 is nothing more than a tech demonstrator and a decade away from export.

Su35 is also very expensive

That leaves China yet again maybe j10 but very small nos to begin. With

 

[Ultima Thule]

SU 35 & S400 coming..yay

No way

Foreign reliance is always a problem. Even with a close ally.

Yes it is, but China is the only country that is willing ti transfer certain technologies to Pakistan. Ultimately a home grown fighter is the best option for any country. Buying Chinese fighters and their input allows our industry to do things quicker. Why re-invent the wheel? Just get the technology and innovate. That's why the Chinese defence industry is vital to Pakistan. We can say the same about the Turks. they will more or less give us what we want. They have never refused us anything. Pakistan is in a fortunate position. We have China and Turkey as close partners and allies. We should capitalize on that.

Chinese Flankers

Unlikely, but if that is true hopefully we can build them here.

 

[Ultima Thule]

no need of more F-16 because F-16 BVR is equal to JF-17 block II . so SU-35 is coming for sure !

Best options for pakistan will be either J-10B or Chinese Flankers

Dude 1.5 will be for 2017 budget only and then there will be incremental rise every year. Even if we have deal of a new fighter plane of about say $4 billion
..we ain't be paying a whole amount it in 2017 itself

Why old J-10B , Why not Chinese Flankers ?

You would be far more fortunate if you had the defense budget of UAE or Saudi

Then the French Israelis and USA would be your allies.

1.5 billion has been requested plus the old money for 16 F-16 is also available so that make the budget more than good for SU35

Please fully read the first post.

May be for the expansion of PAC for block-III quick production along with fulfilling export contracts and the remaining to cover the cost of ammo used in Op Zarb-e-Azab. Or some amount for development of PAF city Kamra.

 

[SSGcommandoPAK]

Yes 1.5 Billion $ + old F-16 money , how much is the old F-16 money ? 200-300 million $ ?

Su-35 = 50-70 million $
J-11 = 40-50 million $ ,,,,, J-11D would be very nice for PAF
J-10 = 25-35 Million $
Eurofighter Tranche 1/2 second hand = 60-70 million $ ?

Correct me If I am wrong ....

 

[Bhupendra Singh_Cyan]

Pakistan scared of increasing Indian budget is wrong. You should increase your economy first for this.
Our expenditure is decreasing vis a vis gdp but it's not the other way around for Pakistan.
