I get the objections raised against further acquisitionof 16s. We can go round and round this to vs fro debate. The problem may well be commission and houses in the West for seniorofficers but do you think the Chinese do not offer the same? I remember an account related to me by someone of Our SHEEDA Teli roaming around with 6 Chinese girls provided to him courtesy of some pweapons dealer. My cousin who goes world over to evaluare arms for PA also relates similar approach.I criticize the slave mentality behind PAF's Viper love affair. Instead of trying to produce better, they remain a net importer. Thunder is mainly Chinese engineering. AEWACS are all Chinese/Western engineering. In 70 years, they didn't have the vision and foresight to setup a decent semiconductor fabrication and materials industry. And even with Azm, the plan seems to be 'Program Management' with key components outsourced. A success based on imported war fighting philosophy and technology is temporary. As soon as India decides to listen to USAF, forget about PAF's supposed man behind the machine. If America arns your enemy with better tools AND skills, you are nothing. 27th Feb is America's lesson to India to listen like a good student. If Indians are wise enough to listen, good bye PAF.
You talk of comparable tech but do tell me of where this is going to come from? If we go to EU we will pay through the nose for at par tech.
There are a few other things which cannot be related on the open forum. However please rest assured PAF knows the twists and turns of theUS arms market and changing strategies. If the Chinese do provide these then PAF will not look westwards butcurrently they dont which is where the problem lies. Our meagre pockets and perhaps some hungry mouths do not help either but if one enters into Pig swill your boots will get dirty and this is what the arms acquisition is about.
