Pakistan to buy 40 SU-35 or Euro Fighter soon

[Zarvan]

If China is funding, it will be for their own jet. The J-10 has recently been given export clearance after all.

Not neccassry China is a great friend and doesn't put pressure on us

 

[Great Sachin]

Russian equipment if available to Pakistan, the problem is with funding.

India will not let you buy any high end Russian equipment.....India is Russia's biggest customer in past and future also...better look for EF or Chines planes....obviously money is a big problem also

 

[Pandora]

Where does it say Typhoon or Su-35?

If he tells us then it will ruin the fun . I for one dont trust a word from Zavran ever since he showed me fake hadiths. When i pointed it out he scrammed.

I dont see any thing surfacing till India has concluded any related deal as we are suppose to go for smart solutions till our economy allows us to go for anything that we need. Indulging in arms race aint in favor of Pakistan.

It's used EF TRENCHE 1 or brand new SU-35

Who will sale EFT trench-1? And are those on par with Su-35s?

Hope PAF buy something new and close all rumors.

Yeah right, thats why Pakistan bought the MI-35 when India opposed, so called red line was crossed bruh

UK are Italy and they would be upgraded but I think it would be SU-35

 

[dadeechi]

Well I am also hoping same but you never know specially as Saudi defence minister is visiting tomorrow

What Pakistan needs to understand is that the treat to CPEC & Gwadar would come from Middle East and the West rather than Russia or China.

China is already procuring SU-35s which means that Pakistan could piggy back on China for Spares & support.

Also, with both China & Pakistan sporting SU-35s, the opponents would be guessing whose SU-35 they are confronting...

Going for Euro fighter with Saudi money would be a very myopic decision.

 

[Basel]

Both are excellent platforms. And 40 is a huge number.

Still India is stuck and Rafale deal is neither moving nor any other Made in India F16 deal.

40 is not huge number if any 4++ gen fighter jet procured around 72 in numbers in next 10 years then that's huge number for PAF.

 

[dadeechi]

how and when did Indo-Russian relations tumble?

To be technically correct, let me say Indo-Russia relations were never have been at the level of Indo-Soviet relations.

 

[graphican]

Lol, dude...

what's the cost for 40 Eurofighters? $ 3 billion something? Maintainence infrastructure? $2 billion more?

What's $5 billion for Saudi Arabia?

Pocket money dude..pocket money..

There are reports that their financial challenges are on rise. I seriously doubt Saudis will be looking to invest in this project. They do not have surplus money and they do not have "good enough" reasons.

UK are Italy and they would be upgraded but I think it would be SU-35

Why UK or Italy will sale their EFTs? How capable they are if compared with Su-35 or it's competitors Rafael & F-16 block-70/72?

 

[mike2000 is back]

I don't think we can get su-35 but we can get Euro Fighters but it is too expensive.

but I like Su-35

Our typhoons will be the best choice for Pakistan. Eventhough it's expensive, but it's worth it at the end. Nothing good comes cheap .

 

[Basel]

if EFT is selected than it means that PAF is going to participate in TFX as earlier Rana Tanveer has said..

I also have that feeling. EFT will pave way for TFX as both will have some common systems and engine.

Pakistan should had bought these before they got the f-16 block 52. Too late now.

EFT and TFX would be good. No need for J-31 then. Though unlikely.
