4th generation fighter jets are quite expensive and costly to maintain. From my research Pakistan defence budget is so small, where do they get money to afford such expensive military equipment like fighter jets , frigates, submarines etc?
I have often thought about the same, but haven't really got down to crunching numbers. If you pick up countries with comparable budgets (10-14 bils) that have good quality stuff, you have vastly smaller militarys, see Algeria for example.

I suspect its a combination of things including buying 'capability' as opposed to 'tarmac toys', some gains due to inhouse (keep in mind the effect of cheap labour - this is a well documented effect studied a lot when US and Russian militaries are compared), and finally the Chinese effect that has come in the last 15 or so years which has meant a lot of the equipment is on finance terms and will be fully paid for down the road.
 
Guys can we please leave the range of the PL-15 out of this, no more on the TVC engine which has been proved to be false already and just focus on the topic at hand!












Does anyone if the cockpit has bluetooth connectivity to the pilot's Iphone or Samsung so he can download Kenny Loggins;

 
Hey does anyone know if the J10's get squadron specific tail art?
Also i believe no:15 squadron traditionally had red checker marks on either nose or tail of their previous types.
Cobra on the tail and red checkers high on the tail woule be cool.
