Batman Sir
our wish lists aside, in the current financial climate PAF/PN just can not afford another platform. They are already inducting J10, F16s, and J10. It iwll take us into2015-16.I thin PAF will go for JXX post 2019. I dont see the need for another fighter of the same generation doing us any good.
Sir MuradK/Neo/ Fatman/Mark, Xman I need your opinion on a thought that i have had(not original of course). Would it not be financially more expedient to have PAF keep all the air assetts, and the command of forces run through a joint regional command represented by PA, PAF and PN to ensure a more coordinated effort in case of aggression. It will curb individual urges and agitation!!!
Plus when your *** is on the line it would mean everybody will think in one direction. What would need to be done to achieve this?

Dear hon.Araz, sir
i am 1000% agreed with your view point,due to our current financial climate, but what !if we have to face multiple enemy on 2 different war theaters ?
my, thinking was , if we can get 40 j-11b's , surly we will keep moving the things in right directions, its not what many of our commrads think about me.
the sitution, pakistan is facing now is similar to IRAQ after frist gulf war, allied nations systemticly took out the cash from IRAQ, then they putted sanctions against IRAQ, and NO FLY ZONES were created to cut off IRAQI air frontiers & to have a free and safe air for allied birds therefore, on the eve of 9\11, IRAQ was been a sitting duck.
all this, resulted in the ultimate invassion of IRAQ, and due to all of above mentioned steps, IRAQI air force cant even go in the air, they had to put their mig-29 in IRAN.
I dont want, all this happen to us, so for this very reason i was pushing for j-11b's , because they are easy to get! as they were offered by CHINA itself, on the other hand, from now & till 2016 if we ever attacked by any one , from any side then we will have no chances, to goafter or to have deep strikes inside the enemy's heart.
And from 2009 to 2016 , we need birds to fly across pakistani airspace, i guss we have altogather 300 planes now, most them were on the werge of expiries. out of 300 ,only 140 are good for any kind of combat, we need at least 250 plus, efficient, modren fighters in our inventry.
so the question is ?does our current financial situation ,allows us to buy new birds?
a very, easy anwer willbe NO, but fact should be kept open, strong security allways gives a bond of good economy, currently due to our worsing security situation results can be put as an easy example.
at any cost & at any price, pakistan cant stop its defence needs, as for j-11's , i guss it would be easier for usto get them on easy payment way,& if we can get them on loan, it will be great,& i guss we, cant get same kind of deal in the case of F-16's or any other westrn platform, surly it will not be easy and it will not come same as J-11's!
I never, thought that j-11's ,couldbe better than f-16's but its, the political conditions in comming future specialy in usa, the last nial was put in the cofin of Jhon Mccain, FROMER SECTRY OF STATE & FROMER CHEIF OF USA ARMED FORCES,(repblican)GEN. COLIN POWELL enddrosed BARRAK OBAMMA as a next US president, BARRAK OBAMMA'S intentions are very clear and known about pakistan, unfortuntly most of US politicians never change thier policies, once which they speak out in public, i guss OBAMMA in power , we will be at same page ,as we once were before at, the times of bill clinton.
therefore we, had to think positivly on each posible solution for our defence, which is very important factor to achive great economy , our economy now realy in worse shape, because of our bad security? but even for now we, cant close our eyes, saying our economy is bad? even in the worse shape of our economy !we cant say, that we cant defend our country?
I am very sory, to putting my arguments, but as i consider them important, i will keep posting them with, respect to allof our honriable comrads like you.
