I would have preferred that if PN had tried in 2000s about acquiring Egyptian Mirage Vs about 72 of them and also about 8 from PAF and pay for the upgrade with Rose-II/III and deploy them 30 At Mehran, 25 Pasni and 25 Ormara. Built Ormara Airbase with PAF and upgrade Mehran and Pasni with PAF.

Only Acquire 15-20 P-3Cs from US instead of OHP.

It is not a PN thread

No money i guess

PN has already placed an order for about 36+ JF-17 Block-II which means they are planning for their own fleet.

I was saying about the past, above.

The thing is JF17 is not a solution for everything, PD will have to look for new fighters to replace the old dying fleets of Mirage & F7.

I hope they come but so far thanks to these corrupt politicians (first PPP & now PML-N0 J10 are not coming. Where as the deal was through in Gen. Musharraf's era.

As long as our airforce is obsessed with F-16s nothing will change. We are a decade behind all airforces simply because we are too obsessed with F16s.
