Pakistan to buy 40 SU-35 or Euro Fighter soon

[Basel]

And India's PAK-FA/FGFA & S-400s would be able to handle Euro Fighter.

It is not the fighter itself but the country backing it which matters.

I m taking in context of Cold Start type Indian misadventure, EFT or Su35 will boost PAF's combined capabilities specially over Pakistani skies and battle areas.

Can we not just wait till 2025 and get J31 and tfx ?

Su-35

EFT

We should focus on anti air missile systems, jf17's and wait for j31.

Iran made bavar so why we did not tried for our own anti air defense which we can collaborate with china or turkey

We can hit enemy with our missiles but we need air defense and cheapest and quicker option spada, ly 80 or develop our own

We already got HQ-9, Just wait for China to copy S-400

 

[Sankpal]

STILL NOT POSSIBLE FOR BOTH PLANES...

1. SU 35 - DUE TO INDIA AND RUSSIA FRIENDSHIP
2. EURO - DUE TO COST...

best available option is J10 (China) fighter for Pak.....

It will happen and SU-35 is more possible than Euro Fighter in my opinion but you never know

Another thing going in the favor of SU-35 deal is the changing Geo Political environment of the region.

We spent 5 billion on submarines. That too for the Navy. Egypt bought the Rafale, and they have a lower defence budget.

 

[randomradio]

why the j-10 and not the eft?

They can buy whatever they want to, I only listed jets that the IAF has a lot of information about.

IAF has comparatively lesser information on the J-10. So it's the least risky purchase.

 

[war&peace]

Why there is no link to the source of the news?
Only very brief info is available so it is difficult to quote.
Though I will be happy if the news is true regardless of which fighter Pakistan goes for i.e. EFT or Su-35

 

[randomradio]

What? Pakistan has information on the flankers, does it stop you from buying them? Oh man....

Pak doesn't. Su-30MKI and Su-35 are very closely related. Chinese Flankers are very different aircraft.

India has a lot of relevant information on the jets, Pak doesn't.

Last thread you said China's flankers are copies, now you say they are different?
