Aakhir kiun??
Why? It's a good aircraft and if sold to Pakistan. Could have killed the JF17 project.
Another question is why is Gripen an offensive weapon when Pakistan looks to purchase it while a defensive weapon if neighbouring India does??
Do the Swedes view Pakistan in such a negative light, despite we gave everything to weaken the biggest threat (USSR) to Europeans.
How inconsiderate of them.
In the early 2000s some PAF pilots were sent to evaluate the Gripen thoroughly. The result is JF-17. That's why we never bought Gripen, not that it wasn't available to us.
Well no not from west and Italy and UK and Spain are more than ready to sell us EFT that is why Air Chief has met PM around 10 times in last two to three months. Also PAF Chief last year visit to Italy was for same reason and Saudis are ready to help. As for J-10 C well preparations are already being made at KAMRA for that. NS is pushing in Russian direction because Russia is giving him heavy commissions mainly to his sons.
Bhai jan in his latest interview the ACM himself clearly said we will move full speed on JF-17 and as a stop gap acquire 5th gen planes. I am going to trust the ACM much more. If these sales actually materialize and we see it on the news, then I'll agree that yes we are getting these birds.
