The whole idea for the CSF filter is that Pakistan has been dragged into an unconventional war due to the US, having suffered the most casualties. Getting Vipers via CSF should be the only option they'd pursue as it would allow not only for more jets but free training.Break it with what?
We know what happened last time when IAF made a assumption it wasnt pretty
Conviently ingnoring 8 squardons of PL-15 equiped jf17 which what pakistan thinks is its leading aresenal is good for us..
Pakistan was broke in 1990 its gdp was just 50b$, debt was >100% and it was under IMF yet it paid 4b$ in advance for f16 under benazir/nawaz ..then pakistan had no alternative and china was poor
Today US senate said buy f16s and pakistan walked away despite the bill being just 699 million dollars what does this tells u. PAF doesnt think f16s are worth the full unsubidized price
Once PAF thinks it needs a few it will just go and buy the comoditized block 70 which is now rhe standardized version available to pakistan (provided we foot the 70m/unit price tag)
My guess is PAF wont buy it on full paid price without CSF.
