I meant as a class of an aircraft. If Su-34 didn't break down so easily then that would be a great choice if it was ever available for export. Don't know about JH-7 and J-16 as Chinese aircraft requires tons of spares......F-7s and F-6s alone needed around 150-200 engines per squadron for overhauls. You want 5th gen....first get used to 4th gen. And you old men keep getting blinded by old mistakes rather than checking out the best intersection of research, availability and cost...Hi,
No---and neither the Typhoon---either a JH7 or SU34 or a J16---. I don't understand why would you bring in an F15---isn't it high time to accept that the american aircraft are not in the market---.
In the presence of a 5th gen---what is the utility of the eurofighter?
You need legs---Pakistan has a unique geography as related to its enemy---.
A strike taking off from its farthest most end of its coastline line gives it a unique attack perspective that can have the enemy in a severe desperate position.
It primarily needs an aircraft than can fly deep and carry two large AShM or ASM's at the minimum---.
You kids just throw out big names---you need to look deeper into the design and utility of the aircraft---it is not a matter of show and pomp---.
Work horses are no agile beautiful creatures---but large muscular---brutal and functional in utility.
